Answer:

All the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy

Explanation:

As you contract your muscle, the energy stored within the fibers and cells of the static, relaxed muscle (this is potential energy) is converted into motion when the fibers are contacted. This motion corresponds to a kinetic energy.

The last two options can be discarded as follows:

-Energy can not be created nor destroyed. It can only be transformed.

-Heat is generated in most of the biochemical processes of the body. However, the heat release is not instantaneous and there are several other complex factors and phenomenae to consider. So, in accordance to the scope of this question, there is energy conservation and therefore all the energy is transformed from potential to kinetic, with no consideration of energy loss to the surroundings.

Is distance traveled by a moving train qualitative discrete continuous or na?
butalik [34]
Continuous. Discrete values are values like 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. - they're values that are <em>distinct</em>, and typically there's some idea of a <em>next </em>and a <em>previous </em>value. When we're counting whole numbers, there's a definitive answer to which number comes after, and which number comes before. With continuous values, there's no real "next" or "last" value.

Motion is measured with <em>continuous </em>values; a train might move 300 yards in 1 minute, but we can look at smaller and smaller chunks of time to keep getting shorter and shorter distances. There is no <em />"next" distance the train moves after those 300 yards - it just doesn't make sense for there to be.

It's also measured <em>quantitatively</em>, not <em>qualitatively</em>. This just means that we can use numerical values to measure it, rather than other descriptors like color, smell, or taste.

madam [21]

Answer:

The right approach is Option b (the force..................exert on you).

Explanation:

  • Even before you fall on something like a soft object, users eventually slow to a halt. You are still giving away all the downward momentum, but progressively although with small powers, you are doing so.  
  • Although you can get injured by massive powers, this gradual displacement is a positive thing. And that is why you have a mattress you would like to settle on.  

The other options given are not connected to the situation described. So, the solution here was the right one.
