Answer:

1960 J

Explanation:

Potential energy is given as the product of mass, height and acceleration due to gravity and expressed as mgh where m represent the mass of the swimmer, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height. Since the swimmer has just gone 4 m from the surface, that is the height that potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. This follows the law of transformation of energy since the energy can't be lost but rather transformed from one state to another. Therefore, substituting 50 kg for m, 4 m for h and 9.8 for g we obtain that PE=50*4*9.8=1960 J. Since it's not among the options here, maybe it is option D

What are gamma rays and what are its uses??<br>​
sukhopar [10]

"Gamma rays" is the name that we call the shortest of all electromagnetic waves.  They're shorter than radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, heat waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, and X-rays.  They extend all the way down to waves that are as short as the distance across an atom.

Being so short, they carry lots of energy.  They can penetrate many materials, and they can damage living cells and DNA.  They're dangerous.

The sun puts out a lot of gamma radiation.  The atmosphere (air) filters out a lot of it, otherwise there couldn't even be any life on Earth.  

As soon as astronauts fly out of the atmosphere, they need a lot of shielding from gamma rays.

You know the precautions we take when we're around X-rays.  The same precautions apply around gamma rays, only a lot more so.

It's only in the past several years that we've learned how to MAKE gamma rays without blowing things up.  Also, how to control them, and how to use them for medical and industrial applications.

Zoey ran a total of 1000m. 20 seconds into her run she had traveled 100 meters. What was her speed at 100 meters?
leva [86]
Let's assume that Zoey ran at a constant speed. we can use the equation,
 d = st
where, d = distance, s = speed, and t = time taken.

By rearranging,
 s = d/t
Zoey had travelled 100 m in 20 seconds.
Hence, s = 100 m / 20 s = 5 m/s

therefore Zoey's speed at 100 m is 5 m/s
