I think, the skydiver has maximum potential energy before jumping. However, as the skydiver jumps and decreases in height, he increases the velocity. Thus, as soon as the skydiver has jumped he is experiencing kinetic energy. The velocity of the skydiver increases as he moves down wards due to gravitational acceleration until he attains terminal velocity.

Sample Response:<span> Before jumping from the plane, the skydiver has potential energy. When the skydiver jumps, the potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, which increases until the skydiver reaches terminal velocity. Potential energy is then transformed into thermal energy.</span>

What happens to the momentum of an object when velocity is kept the same and the mass is increased?
Jet001 [13]
Momentum = mass x velocity so if velocity is kept same and mass is increased then momentum will increase.

A billiard ball strikes and rebounds from the cushion of a pool table perpendicularly. The mass of the ball is 0.38 kg The ball
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Force is 432.94 N along the rebound direction of ball.

Explanation:

Force is rate of change of momentum.

\texttt{Force}=\frac{\texttt{Final momentum-Initial momentum}}{\texttt{Time}}

Final momentum = 0.38 x -1.70 = -0.646 kgm/s

Initial momentum = 0.38 x 2.20 = 0.836 kgm/s

Change in momentum = -0.646 - 0.836 = -1.472 kgm/s

Time = 3.40 x 10⁻³ s

\texttt{Force}=\frac{\texttt{Final momentum-Initial momentum}}{\texttt{Time}}=\frac{-1.472}{3.40\times 10^{-3}}\\\\\texttt{Force}=-432.94N

Force is 432.94 N along the rebound direction of ball.

A balloon will stick to a wooden wall if the balloon is charged
grigory [225]
<h2>Answer: either way</h2>

The balloon contains neutral charge atoms, that is, it has the same number of electrons (negative charge), protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge).

Then, when two objects come into contact, the electrons of one of them can become part of the other.

Thus, by bringing the balloon closer to the wall, the wall, which is also made up of atoms, will reorder its charges in such a way that its electrons or protons become part of the balloon, charging it.
