B) gravitational to kinetic
Explanation:
The skydiver, when he is located at a certain height h above the ground, possesses gravitational potential energy, equal to:
where m is the mass of the skydiver, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height above the ground. As he falls, its height h decreases, while his speed v increases, so part of the gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is given by
so, we see that as v increases, the kinetic energy increases. Therefore the correct answer is
B) gravitational to kinetic
1) The mass of the continent is
2) The kinetic energy of the continent is 1683 J
3) The speed of the jogger must be 6.57 m/s
Explanation:
1)
The continent can be represented as a slab of size
and depth
So its volume is
We also know that the density of the continent is
Therefore, we can calculate its mass as:
2)
The kinetic energy of the continent is given by
where
m is its mass
v is its speed
We have already calculate its mass, while the speed is
v = 3.2 cm/year
We have to convert into SI units first, as follows:
The mass is
So, the kinetic energy of the continent is
3)
Here we have a jogger having the same kinetic energy of the continent, so
And the kinetic energy of the jogger can be expressed as
where
m = 78 kg is the mass of the jogger
v is his speed
We can therefore re-arrange the equation to find the speed of the man, and we get:
