Belly-flop Bernie dives from atop a tall flagpole into a swimming pool below. His potential energy at the top is 7000 J (relativ
elena55 [62]

Answer:

KE₂ = 6000 J

Explanation:

Given that

Potential energy at top U₁= 7000 J

Potential energy at bottom U₂= 1000 J

The kinetic energy at top ,KE₁= 0 J

Lets take kinetic energy at bottom level =  KE₂

Now from energy conservation

U₁+ KE₁= U₂+ KE₂

Now by putting the values

U₁+ KE₁= U₂+ KE₂

7000+ 0 = 1000+ KE₂

KE₂ = 7000 - 1000 J

KE₂ = 6000 J

Therefore the kinetic energy at bottom is 6000 J.

Why is thermal energy from the Sun transferred to Earth through electromagnetic waves instead of any other type of thermal energ
liq [111]

Answer:

Because electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space

Explanation:

The energy that is emitted from the sun is transferred to the earth in the form of radioactive waves. These waves are originated due to the vibration between the electric and magnetic fields. As this energy reaches the earth, it warms the earth's atmosphere, resulting in the transfer of heat energy in three possible ways namely the conduction, convection, and radiation.

This electromagnetic waves do not require any matter for the transmission of energy, and can easily travel in empty space from the core of the sun to the earth and other nearby planets. Whereas other types of waves cannot travel in space, so it is transferred in the form of electromagnetic waves only.
