A fireman of 80 kg slides down a pole.When he reaches the bottom, 4.2 m below his starting point, his speed is 2.2 m/s . By how
levacccp [35]

Answer:

3099 J

Explanation:

The increase in thermal energy corresponds to the mechanical energy lost in the process.

The mechanical energy is given by the sum of gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy of the fireman:

E=K+U

At the top of the pole, the fireman has no kinetic energy, so all his mechanical energy is just potential energy:

E=U=mgh=(80 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(4.2 m)=3293 J

When the fireman reaches the bottom, he has no gravitational potential energy, so his mechanical energy is just given by his kinetic energy:

E=K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(80 kg)(2.2 m/s)^2=194 J

So, the loss in mechanical energy was

\Delta E=3293 J-194 J=3099 J

and this corresponds to the increase in thermal energy.

1. As a swimmer jumps off a 10.0 m high diving board, they start to accelerate towards the
stich3 [128]

Answer:

1960 J

Explanation:

Potential energy is given as the product of mass, height and acceleration due to gravity and expressed as mgh where m represent the mass of the swimmer, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height. Since the swimmer has just gone 4 m from the surface, that is the height that potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. This follows the law of transformation of energy since the energy can't be lost but rather transformed from one state to another. Therefore, substituting 50 kg for m, 4 m for h and 9.8 for g we obtain that PE=50*4*9.8=1960 J. Since it's not among the options here, maybe it is option D
