What is the absolute value of the horizontal force that each athlete exerts against the ground?

Physics

Refer to the diagram shown below.

When an athlete is in motion, he/she exerts a vertical force (the person's weight, W) on the ground. The ground exerts an equal and opposite force, N, the normal reaction on the athlete, so that W = N.

At the same time, the ground exerts a horizontal force, F, o n the athlete so that he/she does not slip.
The magnitude of the horizontal force is
F = μN = μW
where μ = the dynamic coefficient of friction.

Answer:  
The horizontal force is μW,
where
W = the weight of the athlete and,
μ = the dynamic coefficient of friction.

A ball is thrown up into the air with 100 j of kinetic energy, which is transformed to gravitational potential energy at the top
jenyasd209 [6]

The kinetic energy when it returns to its original height is 100 J

Solution:

The ball is thrown up with a Kinetic Energy K. E. = 0.5×m×v² = 100 J

Therefore the final height is given by

<u>u² = v² -2·g·s</u>

Where:

u = final velocity = 0

v = initial velocity

s = final height

Therefore v² = 2·g·s = 19.62·s

P.E = Potential Energy = m·g·s

Since v² = 2·g·s

Substituting the value of v² in the kinetic energy formula, we obtain

K. E. = 0.5×m×2·g·s = m·g·s = P.E. = 100 J

When the ball returns to the original height, we have

v² = u² + 2·g·s

Since u = 0 = initial velocity in this case we have

v² = 2·g·s and the Kinetic energy = 0.5·m·v²

Since m and s are the same then 0.5·m·v² = 100 J.

As the height of the ball increases the kinetic energy of the ball is converted into gravitational potential energy. This means that the kinetic energy of the bullet is reduced. When the ball reaches its maximum height, it momentarily comes to rest and the ball's kinetic energy is zero. When the ball hits the ground, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

The drawings show three examples of the force with which someone pushes against a vertical wall. In each case the magnitude of t
Monica [59]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the

Answer:

The ascending order would be 2nd < 1st < 3rd

Explanation:

Generally the the Normal force is mathematically represented as

                      Normal \ Force  = Fsin \theta

=>                    Normal \ Force \  \alpha  \  sin \theta

For the first drawing  the value   \theta is between that of the the second and the third drawing so the Normal force would also be between the normal forces of the second and the third drawing

For the second drawing whose value of \theta is less than that of the first and the third the normal force would also be less than that of the first and third

For the the third drawing whose value is (90°) which is higher than the first and the second the normal force would also be higher than the first and the second

Why transparent object don't form a shadow​
Pani-rosa [81]

Explanation:

Transparent objects do not form shadows. The light passes completely from the transparent objects thus these objects will not form shadow. ... In such objects, the light gets refracted thus, such objects forms shadow. The refraction is also the reason why we can see such objects.

The gold foil experiment led to the conclusion that each atom in the foil was composed mostly of empty space because most alpha
katovenus [111]

Answer:

(1) passed through the foil

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford conducted an experiment using an alpha particle emitter projected towards a gold foil and the gold foil was surrounded by a fluorescent screen which glows upon being struck by an alpha particle.

  • When the experiment was conducted he found that most of the alpha particles went away without any deflection (due to the empty space) glowing the fluorescent screen right at the point of from where they were emitted.
  • While a few were deflected at reflex angle because they were directed towards the center of the nucleus having the net effective charge as positive.
  • And some were acutely deflected due to the field effect of the positive charge of the proton inside the nucleus. All these  conclusions were made based upon the spot of glow on the fluorescent screen.
