Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a skier, m = 55 kg
The vertical distance between start and finish is 10 m.
(a) The potential energy of a skier is given by :
(b) When she reaches the bottom of the hill, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. So,
Hence, her potential energy is 5390 J and at the bottom of the hill she is moving with a speed of 14 m/s.
Gas is what thermal energy turn into when it is in a car
Here, Apply 2nd equation of the Kinematics :
S = ut + 1/2 at²
Here, s = 60 m
u = 0 [ free fall ]
a = 9.8 m/s² [ constant value for Earth system ]
Substitute their values,
60 = 0*t + 1/2 * 9.8 * t²
120 = 9.8t²
t² = 120 / 9.8
t = √12.24
t = 3.50 s
In short, Your Answer would be 3.50 seconds
Hope this helps!
The Answer is B as it is the only reasonable answer that favors Nuclear Energy.
