The graph below shows the conservation of energy for a skydiver jumping out

Physics
1 answer:
frez [133]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct option is:

B) Kinetic Energy

Explanation:

We know that if a body is placed at a certain height, it possesses Potential Energy, which is represented by 'mgh'. In this case, when the skydiver is present in the plane, before jumping, he has potential energy as he is at height 'h'.

As Kinetic energy is given as '(1/2)mv²' dependent on velocity of the object, when the skydiver jumps of the plane, his height starts decreasing, which decreases his Potential Energy. As energy can neither be created or destroyed, but is converted to one form or another, all this Potential energy starts to convert into Kinetic energy. As Potential Energy decreases with distance, Kinetic energy increases. Hence, line B represents Kinetic Energy.

In a discussion person A is talking 1.2 dB louder than person B, and person C is talking 3.2 dB louder than person A. What is th
liberstina [14]

Answer: 3.84dB

Explanation:

Since person A is talking 1.2dB louder than B, we will have

A = 1.2B... (1)

Similarly, person C is talking 3.2 dB louder than person A, we have

C = 3.2A... (2)

From equation 1, B = A/1.2... (3)

To get the ratio of the sound intensity of person C to the sound intensity of person B, we will divide equation 2 by 3 to give

C/B = 3.2A/{A/1.2}

C/B = 3.2A×1.2/A

C/B = 3.2×1.2

C/B = 3.84dB

How much force is needed to accelerate a 68 kilogram skier at a rate of 1.2m/sec
xxMikexx [17]

Let's use Newton's 2nd law of motion:

                                     Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

                                     Force = (68 kg) x (1.2 m/s²) =  81.6 newtons .

Acceleration occurs whenever an ___________________ force acts on an object.
leonid [27]
Acceleration occurs whenever the forces on an object are unbalanced.

It's the group of forces on the object that's either balanced or unbalanced.
There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force".
