Which kind of energy transformation occurs during skydiving? A) mechanical to gravitational B) gravitational to kinetic C) kinet
Aleks [24]

B) gravitational to kinetic

Explanation:

The skydiver, when he is located at a certain height h above the ground, possesses gravitational potential energy, equal to:

U=mgh

where m is the mass of the skydiver, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height above the ground. As he falls, its height h decreases, while his speed v increases, so part of the gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

so, we see that as v increases, the kinetic energy increases. Therefore the correct answer is

B) gravitational to kinetic

The experimental apparatus shown in the figure above contains a pendulum consisting of a 0.66 kg ball attached to a string of le
lara31 [8.8K]

The problem is solved and the questions are answered below.

Explanation:

a. To calculate the speed of the 0.66 kg ball just before the collision

V₀ + K₀ = V₁ + K₁

= mgh₀ = 1/2 mv₁²

where, h= r - r cosθ

V = \sqrt{2gh}

 V = 2.42 m/s

b. Calculate the speed of the 0.22 kg ball immediately after the collision

y = y₀ + Vy₀t - 1/2 gt²

0 = 1.2 - 1/2 gt²

t = 0.495 s

x = x₀ + Vx₀t

1.4 = 0 + vx₀ (0.495)

Vx₀ = 2.83 m/s

C. To Calculate the speed of the 0.66 kg ball immediately after the collision

m₁ v₁ = m₁ v₃ + m₂ v₄

(0.66)(2.42) = (0.66) v₃ + (0.22)(2.83)

V₃ = 1.48 m/s

D. To Indicate the direction of motion of the 0.66 kg ball immediately after the collision is to the right.

E. To Calculate the height to which the 0.66 kg ball rises after the collision

V₀ + k₀ = V₁ + k₁

1/2 mv₀² = mgh₁

h₁ = v₀²/2 g

  = 0.112 m

F. Based on your data, No the collision is not elastic.

Δk = 1/2 m₁v₃² =1/2 m₂v₄² - 1/2 m₁v₁²

     = 1/2 (0.66)(1.48)² + 1/2 (0.22)(2.83)² - 1/2 (0.66)(2.42)²

    = - 0.329 J

Hence, kinetic energy is not conserved.
