The mechanical energy isn't conserved. Some energy is lost to friction.
Option A.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
The mechanical energy is defined as the energy of a body which it achieves by virtue of its position and velocity. The mechanical energy are of two types - potential energy and kinetic energy. The potential energy is the energy of the body which it achieves by means of its relative position and is directly proportional to the height of the body from its relative plane. Whereas the kinetic energy of the body is achieved by virtue of its velocity and is directly proportional to the square of velocity of the body.
As the mountaineer is skiing down the slope of a mountain, the potential energy of the person is gradually changing into his kinetic energy. Had it been in an ideal situation, the potential energy lost would have been just equal to the kinetic energy gained by the person. But there's friction which opposes the speed of the body and reduces the velocity. Thus the kinetic energy will be lost to some extent and the energy won't be conserved.
Answer:
The turning points are those instants, moments or situations that happen in an absolutely unexpected way, as a result of which your life changes ... and nothing is the same as before.
The period of the wave is the reciprocal of its frequency.
1 / (5 per second) = 0.2 second .
The wavelength is irrelevant to the period. But since you
gave it to us, we can also calculate the speed of the wave.
Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)
= (5 per second) x (1cm) = 5 cm per second
