The correct answer is:
Work is negative, the environment did work on the object, and the energy of the system decreases.
In fact, the work-energy theorem states that the work done by the system is equal to its variation of kinetic energy:
In this problem, the variation of kinetic energy is negative (because the final velocity is less than the initial velocity), so the work is negative, and this means that the environment did work on the object, and its energy decreased.
Answer:
5.959 m/s
Explanation:
m = Mass of gymnast
u = Initial velocity
v = Final velocity
= Initial height
= Final height
From conservation of Energy
Velocity of gymnast at bottom of swing is 5.959 m/s
