Question

Which three terms are needed to describe the energy a BASE jumper has as she falls toward the ground?

Answer 1

Answer:

Potential energy

Kinetic energy

Gravitational energy.

Explanation:

The potential energy is the stored energy, it is the energy and object posses at rest. When the base jumper is still at rest i.e without motion, she has potential energy.

Gravitational energy this refer to the potential energy an object or body with mass posses in relation to another object due to gravity.

This is seen when the base number is still at rest and the force of gravity on the Earth acting on her.

Kinetic energy is the energy posses by an object or body in motion.

As the base jumper falls to the ground, she posses kinetic energy which is the energy in motion.
