W=ΔKE , W=-5000j
KEinitial=(1/2)mv² , KEfinal=0j 
ΔKE=-(1/2)mv²
-5000=-(1/2)(100kg)v²
v=10 m/s

Answer:

10 m/s

Explanation:

The work-kinetic energy theorem states that the net work done on an object is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the object.

In formula:

W=K_f -K_i (1)

where

W is the work done

Ki is the initial kinetic energy

Kf is the final kinetic energy

In this problem, we have:

W=-5000 J the net work done on the gymnast

m=100 kg is the mass of the gymnast

v_f = 0 is the final velocity of the gymnast, so her final kinetic energy is also zero:

K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 = 0

Therefore, we can rewrite eq.(1) as

W=-\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2

where v_i is the initial velocity of the girl. By substituting the numbers and re-arranging the equation, we find:

v_i = \sqrt{-\frac{2W}{m}}=\sqrt{-\frac{2(-5000 J)}{100 kg}}=10 m/s

The change of energy from one type to another; for example, kinetic to potential, or kinetic
Elena L [17]

Answer:Broadly speaking, all energy in the universe can be categorized as either potential energy or kinetic energy. Potential energy is the energy associated with position, like a ball held up in the air. When you let go of that ball and let it fall, the potential energy converts into kinetic energy, or the energy associated with motion.

EXAMPLES: There are five types of kinetic energy: radiant, thermal, sound, electrical and mechanical. Let's explore several kinetic energy examples to better illustrate these various forms.
