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

Explain why cooler stars are red and hotter stars are blue
sergey [27]
More cool stars produce much of their light in the red part of the spectrum, so you see them, and bam, the color red. More hot stars, however, produce much more of their light in the green and or yellow spectrums, with much more tinier amounts of red / blue. This balance of the colors, your eye, sees simply as white. The more hot something is, the greater frequency of radiation it produces! Blue light has a higher frequency than red light, so the stars that glow red are cooler, than the stars that glow blue. :)

Hope this helped!
