I'm not that smart but I think it is c I really hope It helps
gravitational potential is directly proportional to the height of the object relative to a reference line and is given as
PE = mgh
where m = mass of object , g = acceleration due to
gravity and h = height of the object above the reference line .
as the skydiver falls , its height above the ground decrease and hence the gravitational potential energy of the skydiver decrease.
as per conservation of energy , total energy of the skydiver must remain constant all the time . hence the decrease in potential energy appears as increase in kinetic energy by same amount to keep the total energy constant
KE + PE = Total energy
so as the skydiver falls , it gains speed and hence the kinetic energy of skydiver increase since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed.
when the parachute opens, the skydiver experience force in upward which tries to balance the weight of the skydiver. hence the speed of the skydiver decrease until upward force becomes equal to the downward force. hence the kinetic energy decrease just after the parachute opens
Answer:
500cal
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of water = 50g
Initial temperature = 22°C
Final temperature = 32°C
Specific heat of water = 1cal/g
Unknown:
Amount of heat absorbed by the water in calories = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we use the expression below:
H = m c Ф
H is the amount of heat absorbed
m is the mass
c is the specific heat capacity
Ф is the temperature change
H = 50 x 1 x (32 - 22) = 500cal
