15. A volleyball player who weighs 650 Newtons jumps 0.500 meters vertically off the floor. What is her kinetic energy just befo

allochka39001 [22]

<h2>Kinetic energy just before hitting the floor is 324.57 J</h2>

Explanation:

Weight of volleyball player = 650 N

That is

Mass x Acceleration due to gravity = 650

Mass x 9.81 = 650

Mass = 66.26 kg

We also have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²

Final velocity, v = ?

Displacement, s = 0.5 m

Substituting

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0² + 2 x 9.81 x 0.5

v = 3.13 m/s

Velocity with which he lands on ground is 3.13 m/s

We have kinetic energy = 0.5 x Mass x Velocity²

Substituting

Kinetic energy = 0.5 x 66.26 x 3.13²

Kinetic energy = 324.57 J

Kinetic energy just before hitting the floor is 324.57 J

The person does not sink into the snow because the force acts on a larger area so that the pressure is less
The edge of the sharp knife has a smaller area so the force acting on the knife produces a larger pressure

A 25 kg child runs at a speed of 5.0 m/s and jumps onto a stationary shopping cart and holds on for dear life. The cart has mass

makkiz [27]

Answer:

3.38 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of child = m₁ = 25

Initial speed of child = u₁ = 5 m/s

Initial speed of cart = u₂ = 0 m/s

Mass of cart = m₂ = 12 kg

Velocity of cart with child on top = v

This is a case of perfectly inelastic collision

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{25\times 5+12\times 0}{25+12}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{125}{37}\\\Rightarrow v=3.38\ m/s$
