<h3>Answer:</h3>

B. (PE)beginning = (KE)end

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • Mass of an object is 72.0 kg
  • Velocity of the body before it hits the ground is 79.0 m/s

We are required to determine the relationship between the potential energy and kinetic energy before the fall.

  • When an object is at the highest point, it has maximum potential energy and minimum kinetic energy.
  • This is because potential energy is directly proportional to the height of an object above the earth's surface.
  • On the other hand, when an object attains the highest speed it has maximum kinetic energy and minimum kinetic energy.

In this case;

  • The velocity of the object when hitting the ground is maximum and thus the object will have maxim,um kinetic energy.
  • As the object falls towards the ground the potential energy is being converted to kinetic energy.
  • Therefore, the potential energy at the beginning will be equal to the kinetic energy at the end when the object is on the ground.
  • We can therefore, conclude that, (PE)beginning = (KE)end

<span>Velocity is a vector and it has both speed and direction. It takes a force to change direction just as it does to change speed</span>. In order to have a constant velocity the object must maintain a constant direction and speed. Hope this answers the questions. Have a nice day.

kompoz [17]

Answer:

v=0

Explanation:

Knowing that the formula for average velocity is:

v=\frac{x_{2}-x_{1}}{t_{2}-t_{1}}

Being said that, we know that the person's displacement is zero because it returns to its starting point

x_{2}=x_{1}

That means x_{2}-x_{1}=0

v=\frac{0}{t_{2}-t_{1}}=0

The answer is the last choice.

Its electrical potential energy stays the same because it has the same electric potential. The reason why is that moving the charge towards X does not change the distance of the negative charge between the plates. The Electrical potential energy of a particle is the result energy by virtue of its position from the electrical fields produce by the plates both positive and negative. Since the charge is still equidistant to each other (assuming based from the diagram) no change in terms of electrical energy consumption or work was done.
