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 is the difference between balanced force and action reaction force
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Balanced forces are equal and opposite forces that act on the same object. ... Action-reaction forces are equal and opposite forces that act on different objects, so they don't cancel out. In fact, they often result in motion.

What is the magnitude of δv12 if the bulb is removed from the socket (i.e. the circuit is not closed)?
andreev551 [17]

Since the circuit is incomplete or not closed, no current flows in the circuit. as per ohm's law , Voltage is directly proportional to current and is given as

V = Voltage = i R where i = current , R = resistance

as no current flows in the circuit, i = 0

the resistance R can not be zero. hence

V = 0 (R)

V = 0 Volts

so the magnitude of the Voltage is zero Volts

Hydrogen gas is generated when acids come into contact with certain metals. When excess hydrochloric acid reacts with 2.2 g of (
CaHeK987 [17]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Byle's Law and Avogadro's Law.

The ideal gas equation would help us find the final solution to the problem, defined by

PV = nRT

Where,

T= Temperature of the gas

R = Universal as constant

n = number of moles

V = Volume

P = Pressure

For our case we have that the mass of Zn is 2.2g in moles would be

[tex]Zn = \frac{2.2}{65}[/tex]

Zn = 0.0338

We know that 1 mole of hydrogen gas is proceed by 1 mole of zinc and the result is Zn^{2+}, then Hydrogen can produce the same quantity,

H_2 = 0.0338

Applying the previous equation we have that

V= \frac{nRT}{P}

V = \frac{0.0338*0.08206*293.15}{0.98}

V = 0.829L

Therefore the volume of hydrogen gas is collected is 0.829L
