gravitational potential is directly proportional to the height of the object relative to a reference line and is given as
PE = mgh
where m = mass of object , g = acceleration due to
gravity and h = height of the object above the reference line .
as the skydiver falls , its height above the ground decrease and hence the gravitational potential energy of the skydiver decrease.
as per conservation of energy , total energy of the skydiver must remain constant all the time . hence the decrease in potential energy appears as increase in kinetic energy by same amount to keep the total energy constant
KE + PE = Total energy
so as the skydiver falls , it gains speed and hence the kinetic energy of skydiver increase since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed.
when the parachute opens, the skydiver experience force in upward which tries to balance the weight of the skydiver. hence the speed of the skydiver decrease until upward force becomes equal to the downward force. hence the kinetic energy decrease just after the parachute opens
Our values can be defined like this,
The problem can be solved for part A, through the Work Theorem that says the following,
Where
KE = Kinetic energy,
Given things like that and replacing we have that the work is given by
W = Fd
and kinetic energy by
So,
Clearing F,
Replacing the values
B) The work done by the wall is zero since there was no displacement of the wall, that is d = 0.
Answer: the airy pattern can only arise from wave propagation
Explanation:if particles went in straight lines through a slit, they would progate linearly and not interfere. The airy pattern arises from diffraction as waves interfere, producing peaks (constructive interference where peaks of waves from each slit coincide) and troughs (destructive interference where peaks and troughs of waves from each slit cancel out). If intensity rather than field is measured nodes occur where 0 values line up instead of troughs
Answer:
A - elastic since many other fast food items could be considered close substitutes.
Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand is how much the demand of the Big Macs will change due to a 1% change in price. Should the elasticity be greater than 1, the Big Macs will be elastic. Should it be less than 1, the Big Macs are inelastic.
Demand elasticity is calculated as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by a percentage change in price.
Since Big Macs are (i) a luxury good, and (ii) have close substitutes (other burgers available at McDonalds and other fast food stores), we will say their elasticity is greater than 1.
This means that the demand of Big Macs will change due to a 1% increase in price due to the presence of close substitutes.
