Answer:

energy is equal to 1000 J

Explanation:

When the jumper is in the tent, he has a given height, this height gives him a gravitational potential energy, which forms his initial mechanical energy of 1000 J. After jumping, this energy is converted into elastic energy of the rope plus a remainder of potential energy gravitational, it does not reach the ground, but as the friction is negligible the total mechanical energy is conserved, therefore its energy is equal to 1000 J

This is a case of energy transformation, but the total value of mechanical energy does not change

As the temperature of an object increases, the wavelength of the brightest light emitted _______
alexira [117]

Answer:

option (B) decreases

Explanation:

According to the Wein's displacement law, the minimum wavelength of the radiated emission is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature of the body which emits radiation.

\lambda_{m}\alpha \frac{1}{T}

Where, T is the absolute temperature of the body and λm is the minimum wavelength of heat radiated.

Here, as the temperature increases, the wavelength decreases.

What is the difference between elastic PE and gravitational PE?
asambeis [7]
Elastic potential energy is kind of like pulling on something and then letting it go, with rubber bands, or a bow, or a slingshot, something with elastic properties.
Gravitational potential energy has to do with how high something is, and has to do with earth’s gravitational pull.
