As an object falls to the ground, what happens to its energy? Ignore air resistance in this scenario. A)energy is converted from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy.

B)energy is converted from kinetic energy to
gravitational potential energy.

C)energy is in motion the whole time.

D)energy gets destroyed due to friction

Name three different units of energy used to measure heat and describe what type of situations each is usually used.

In which of the following cases is work being done on an object? question 2 options: pushing against a locked door carrying a box down a corridor pulling a trailer up a hill suspending a heavy weight with a strong chain

Clothing made of several thin layers of fabric with trapped air in between, often called ski clothing, is commonly used in cold climates because it is light, fashionable, and a very effective thermal insulator. so it is no surprise that such clothing has largely replaced thickand heavy old-fashioned coats. (a) consider a jacket made of five layers of 0.1-mm-thick synthetic fabric (k = 0.13 w/m·°c) with 1.5-mm-thick air space (k = 0.026 w/m·°c) between the layers. assuming the inner surface temperature of the jacket to be 28°c and the surface area to be 1.25 m2, determine the rate of heat loss through the jacket when the temperature of the outdoors is 0°c and the heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface is 25 w/m2·°c. (b) what would your response be if the jacket is made of a single layer of 0.5-mm-thick synthetic fabric? what should be the thickness of a wool fabric (k = 0.035 w/m·°c) if the person is to achieve the same level of thermal comfort wearing a thick wool coat instead of a five-layer ski jacket?
