That is because work requires energy. According to the law of conservation of energy, it cannot be created or destroyed. When doing work, energy change forms and gets transferred to the object until it is released.
for example, when you lift up an object and place it on a higher elevation, you transferred energy to it and gave it potential energy. The potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy when the object falls down, and if it hits a surface, the energy will scatter, vibrating the areas around it and producing sound.
Also, work= force X distance. The energy does not go away, but rather get changed into some other form of energy
Answer:
d) The 2 athletes reach the same height, because the athletes run with the same speed.
Explanation:
In the whole process , kinetic energy is converted into potential energy .
1/2 m v² = mgh
v² = 2gh
h = v² / 2g
In this expression we see that height attained does not depend upon mass of the object . At the same time it also makes it clear that it depends upon velocity . As the velocity in both the cases are same , height attained by both of them will be same. Hence option d ) is correct.
D only kinetic energt because if it had heluim or any thing jt will float up
