1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data A person jumps from the roof of a house 3.4 meters high. When he strikes the ground below, he bends his knees so that his torso decelerates over an approximate distance of 0.70 meters. If the mass of his torso (excluding legs) is 41 kg. A. Find his velocity just before his feet strike the ground. B. Find the average force exerted on his torso by his legs during deceleration. 2. Relevant equations I can't even seem to figure that part out. Help please? 3. The attempt at a solution I don't know how to start this at all

Answer:

12N to the right.

Explanation:

There is a force of 12N upwards and a force of 12N downwards: these cancel out.

Assign a negative value to forces towards the left, and a positive value to the forces towards the right: -3N and +15N

Combine them: -3N+15N = 12N

The net force has a magnitude of 12N, and since our answer was positive, it acts towards the right.

Two objects (38.0 and 17.0 kg) are connected by a massless string that passes over a massless, frictionless pulley. The pulley h
fgiga [73]

Answer:

a) 3.7 m/s^2

b) 231.8 N

Explanation:

Let m1 be mass of the first object (m1 = 38.0 kg) and let m2 be the mass of the second object (m2 = 17.0 kg ). Let a be the acceleration of the two objects. Let F1 be the force of gravity exerted on m1 and F2 be the force of gravity exerted on m2. Let M = m1 +m2

a)

F1 = m1g and F2 = m2g

So Fnet = F1 + F2

Since the pulleys will move in different directions when accelerating...

Fnet = F1 - F2

M×a = m1g - mg2

M×a = g×(m1 -m2)

a = g×(m1 - m2)/M

a = 9.8×(38 - 17)/(38 + 17)

a = 3.7 m/s^2

b)

Looking at the part for m2

Fnet  = T - m2g

-m2×a = T - m2g

T = m2(g - a)

T = 231.8 N

A student that jumps a vertical height of 50 cm during the hang time activity.
muminat

The hang time of the student is 0.64 seconds, and he must leave the ground with a speed of 3.13 m/s

Why?

To solve the problem, we must consider the vertical height reached by the student as max height.

We can use the following equations to solve the problem:

<u>Initial speed calculations:</u>

v_{f}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2*a*d

At max height, the speed tends to zero.

So, calculating, we have:

<u>v_{f}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2*a*d\\\\0=v_{o}^{2}+2*(-9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}})*0.5m\\\\v_{o}^{2}=9.81\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2}}\\\\v_{o}=\sqrt{9.81\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2}}}=3.13\frac{m}{s}</u>

<u>Hang time calculations:</u>

We must remember that the total hang time is equal to the time going up plus the time going down, and both of them are equal,so, calculating the time going down, we have have:

y-yo=vo.t+\frac{1}{2}*9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}*t^{2} \\\\0.5m-0=0*t+4.95*t^{2}\\\\t^{2}=\frac{0.5}{4.95}\\\\t=\sqrt{0.101}=0.318s

Then, for the total hang time, we have:

TotalHangTime=2*0.318seconds=0.64seconds

Have a nice day!
