An average person can reach a maximum height of about 60 cm when jumping straight up from a crouched position. During the jump i

tself, the person's body from the knees up typically rises a distance of around 50 cm. To keep the calculations simple and yet get a reasonable result, assume that the entire body rises this much during the jump.
I need to answer this:
a) With what initial speed does the person leave the ground to reach a height of 60 cm?
and
b) In terms of this jumper's weight W , what force does the ground exert on him or her during the jump?

Answer:

Explanation:

Height attained by body = 50 cm

= .5 m

Initial velocity = u

v² = u² - 2gh

0 = u² - 2gh

u² = 2 x 9.8 x .5

u = 3.13 m /s

During the initial period , the muscle stretches by around 10 cm during which force by ground reacts on the body and gives acceleration to achieve velocity of 3.13 m/s from zero .

v² = u² + 2as

3.13² = 0 + 2 a x .10

a = 49  m/s²

reaction by ground R

Net force

R-mg = ma

R= m ( g +a )

= mg + ma

=W + (W/g) x a

W ( 1 + a / g )

= W ( 1 + 49 / 9.8 )

= 6W

Lawson's criterion states that the product of ion density and confinement time must exceed a certain number before a break-even
LekaFEV [45]

According to Lawson's criterion, the outcome is determined by the product of ion density and confinement time because the temperature must be maintained for a sufficient confinement time and with a sufficient ion thickness to obtain a net gain of power from a fusion reaction.

<h3>What are Lawson's criterion?</h3>
  • The overall conditions that must be met in order to produce more energy than is required for plasma heating are usually expressed in terms of the product of ion density and confinement time, a condition known as Lawson's criterion.
  • In nuclear fusion devices, confinement time is defined as the amount of time the plasma is kept at a temperature above the critical ignition temperature.
  • Even at temperatures high enough to overcome the coulomb barrier to nuclear fusion, a critical density of ions must be maintained in order to achieve a net yield of energy from the reaction.
  • Because the density required for a net energy yield is correlated with the confinement time for hot plasma, the minimum condition for a productive fusion reaction is typically stated in terms of the product of ion density and confinement time, which is known as Lawson's criterion.

Answer:

Bowling Ball: weight on Earth = 49 N

Textbook: Mass = 2 kg; weight on the moon = 3.2 N

Large dog: weight on Earth = 490 N; weight on the moon = 80 N

Law of Universal Gravitation: F_{G}=\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}

F_{G} = gravitational force (Newtons/N)

<em>G</em> = gravitational constant, 6.67430 × 10¹¹ \frac{N*m^{2}}{kg^{2}}

<em>m</em>₁ and <em>m</em>₂ = masses of two objects (kilograms/kg)

<em>r</em>² = square of distance between centers of the two objects (meters/m)

Have a fantastic day!
