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
If the net force acting on a moving object causes no change in its velocity, the object's momentum will stay the same.
<h3>What is momentum?</h3>
Momentum of a body in motion refers to the tendency of a body to maintain its inertial motion.
The momentum is the product of its mass and velocity.
This suggests that if the net force acting on a moving object causes no change in its velocity, the momentum of the object will remain the same.
Therefore, if the net force acting on a moving object causes no change in its velocity, the object's momentum will stay the same.

Amount of work done is zero and so power = 0 watts.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Power is the rate at which work is done, or W divided by delta t. Since the barbell is not moving, the weightlifter is not doing work on the barbell.Therefore, if the work done is zero, then the power is also zero.It may seem unusual that the data given in question is versatile i.e. A weightlifter exerts an upward force on a 1000-N barbell and holds it at a height of 1 meter for 2 seconds. But, still the answer is zero watts , this was a tricky question although conceptual basis of question was good! Power is dependent on amount of work done which is further related to displacement and here the net displacement is zero ! Hence, amount of work done is zero and so power = 0 watts.
Answer:
Yes, the calorie can be expressed in SI units
Explanation:
1 calorie (1 cal) is defined as the amount of heat energy that must be supplied to 1 gram of water in order to raise its temperature by 1 degree Celsius (
.
The calorie is not a unit of the International System (SI): the SI unit for the energy is the Joule (J).
However, it is possible to convert energy from calories to Joules, and viceversa. In fact, the conversion factor between the two units is:
1 calorie = 4.184 Joules
So, to convert from calories to Joules we simply multiply by 4.184, while if we want to convert from Joules to calories, we just divide by 4.184.
