The correct answer is:
<span>A) 1000 J
In fact, energy cannot be destroyed nor created: this means that the total energy of the person must remain constant.
The initial energy of the person is U=8000 J, in form of gravitational potential energy. When he jumps and dives into the pool, this energy is converted into kinetic energy (K, 7000 J) and partially into thermal energy, Et. The final energy of the person, sum of kinetic energy and thermal energy, must be equal to the initial energy:

<span>from which we can find the thermal energy:

Energy required = mass x specific heat x temperature difference
= 0.5 x 4.19x10^3 x 2
= 4190J
Gasoline comes from petroleum, which is a fossil fuel. Petroleum, coal and natural gas (methane) are all made in the earth's crust from the bodies of plants and animals that died long ago. That's why they are called fossil fuels.
The sun provides the energy that all life needs to grow and reproduce. Therefore, fossil fuels can be considered a form of solar energy that has been stored in the bodies of living things, and then concentrated in hydrocarbon deposits in the earth's crust.
The fact is that all the energy on earth comes from the sun, directly or indirectly, except for nuclear energy, which comes from radioactive elements that were made in other stars that existed before the sun.
Hope this helps!!!
