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
No spacecraft has been built yet that was able to absorb harmful
radiations in space, change weather conditions on Earth, or destroy
meteors and comets which might strike Earth.
We should continue to send robotic spacecrafts into space
because they help discard some myths about objects in space.
In other words, they help us learn things that we never knew before.
According to my research I found questions with the same info with option choices and they are:
A.) How many people in the study had the flu?
B.) How many people were included in the study?
C.) What was the average age of the people in the study?
D.) What was the most common occupation of people in the study?
Among those options the answer would be the second choice B)
if i renember correctly its b
C.
Hope this helps good luck
