Elanso [62]3 years ago

Answer:

Wooden poles are rigid. That means that if you apply a force on the top of it, energy will travel directly to the ground (and you will just feel a very strong normal force) and the pole won't store any energy. An elastic pole will flex, storing energy that won't go directly to the ground, but as it recovers it's original shape, half of this stored potential energy will transforme to kinetic energy for the athlete, giving them energy to jump higher.

Explanation:

Explained above.

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

120 miles per hour.

Explanation:

We need to find the time it takes my parents to drive home from the cottage. Since my father drives at 60 miles per hour, and the cottage is 240 miles from our home, and distance = speed × time. So, time = distance/speed = 240 mi/60 mi/h = 4 h.

So, it will take my father 4 hours to drive home from the cottage.

Since I have 2 hours to prepare for the party, the time left for me to drive to the cottage is 4 - 2 hrs = 2 hrs.

So, I'm supposed to drive to the cottage in at most 2 hours.

The speed at which I must drive in this time period is thus,  speed = distance/time = 240 miles/2 hours = 120 miles per hour.

So, I must drive at a minimum speed of 120 miles per hour.
