The concept required to solve this problem is associated with potential energy. Recall that potential energy is defined as the product between mass, gravity, and change in height. Mathematically it can be described as
Here,
= Change in height
m = mass of super heroine
g = Acceleration due to gravity
The change in height will be,
The final position of the heroin is below the ground level,
The initial height will be the zero point of our system of reference,
Replacing all this values we have,
Since the final position of the heroine is located below the ground, there will net loss of gravitational potential energy of 10744.81J
Both require time, but velocity requires displacement and speed requires distance.
Explanation:
Speed and velocity are two different quantities. In fact:
- Speed is a scalar quantity, which gives a measure of how fast an object is moving, regardless of its direction. Therefore, it only has a magnitude, which is given by the ratio between distance covered and time taken:
Therefore, speed does not take into account the direction of motion.
- Velocity, on the other hand, is a vector quantity, so it has magnitude and a direction.
The magnitude of the velocity is given by
where displacement is a vector connecting the initial point with the final point of motion of an object.
The direction of the velocity corresponds to the direction of the displacement.
It must be noted also that in certain situations, the average velocity is zero, while the speed is not zero: for example, for an object completing a circle in a certain time interval, its speed is not zero, while its velocity is zero (because the object returns to the starting point, so the displacement is zero.
Therefore, the correct answer is
Both require time, but velocity requires displacement and speed requires distance.
