A person is standing on a bridge, attached to a bungee cord. The person steps off the bridge and falls down. The isolated system consists of the person, bridge, bungee cord, and the Earth, ignoring friction and air resistance. The amount of energy in the system is 18,000 J when the person is standing on the bridge. At some point during the fall, 6,000 J of energy has been transformed into kinetic energy because the person is moving. Additionally, 3,000 J of energy has been transformed into elastic potential energy because the bungee is stretching. (Air resistance is negligible.)

Which choice best describes the amount and form of the rest of the energy at this point?

There are slightly more than 9,000 J of gravitational potential energy in the system because the person is at some position above the ground and the total energy must be slightly more than the initial energy because energy increases as it is transformed.

There are slightly less than 9,000 J of gravitational potential energy in the system because the person is at some position above the ground and the total energy must be slightly less than the initial energy because energy is lost as it is transformed.

There are exactly 9,000 J of gravitational potential energy in the system because the person is at some position above the ground and the total energy must add up to 18,000 J because energy is always conserved.

There are exactly 9,000 J of thermal energy is the system because the person is heating up as he falls and the total energy must add up to 18,000 J because energy is always conserved.

A250-n box is at rest on a frictionless horizotal floor. then a person shoves the box with a non-zero force of magnitude p. which statement best describes the relationship betweeen p and the motion of the box after it was shoved? -the box will not move when p< 250n but otherwise will accelerate at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p - the box will begin moving at a speed that is directly proportional to p, then will gradually slow to a halt -the box will move with constant velocity at a speed that is directly proportional to p -box will accelerate across the floor at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p

To understand the behavior of the electric field at the surface of a conductor, and its relationship to surface charge on the conductor. a conductor is placed in an external electrostatic field. the external field is uniform before the conductor is placed within it. the conductor is completely isolated from any source of current or charge. part a: which of the following describes the electric field inside this conductor? it is in the same direction as the original external field.it is in the opposite direction from that of the original external field.it has a direction determined entirely by the charge on its surface.it is always zero. part b: the charge density inside the conductor is: 0non-zero; but uniformnon-zero; non-uniforminfinite part c: assume that at some point just outside the surface of the conductor, the electric field has magnitude e and is directed toward the surface of the conductor. what is the charge density η on the surface of the conductor at that point? express your answer in terms of e and ϵ0
