Velocity, direction, or both at the same time.
9.8 ms^-2 is acceleration
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
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Kinetic Energy and the Energy Produced by the heat loss. In mathematical terms kinetic energy can be described as:
Where,
m = Mass
v = Velocity
Replacing we have that the Total Kinetic Energy is
On the other hand the required Energy to heat up t melting point is
Where,
m = Mass
Specific Heat
Change at temperature
Latent heat of fussion
Heat required to heat up to melting point,
The energy required to melt is larger than the kinetic energy. Therefore the heat of fusion of lead would be 327 ° C: The melting point of lead.
Answer:
7.68 m
Explanation:
Kinetic energy in ball = elastic energy in spring
KE = EE
½ mv² = ½ kx²
mv² = kx²
x = v √(m / k)
x = (38.5 m/s) √(20.5 kg / 515 N/m)
x = 7.68 m
