In the vertical jump, an athlete starts from a crouch and jumps upward as high as possible. Even the best athletes spend little

more than 1.00 s in the air (their "hang time"). Treat the athlete as a particle and let ymax be his maximum height above the floor. To explain why he seems to hang in the air, calculate the ratio of the time he is above ymax/2 to the time it takes him to go from the floor to that height. Ignore air resistance.

Answer:

t_up / t_down = 6.83

Explanation:

Find:

Calculate the ratio of the time he is above y_max/2 to the time it takes him to go from the floor to that height.

Solution:

- Compute the velocity v_o at y_max:

                             v_i^2 = v_f^2 - 2*g*y_max

                             0 = v_o^2 - 2*g*y_max

                             v_o = sqrt (2*g*y_max)

- The total time spend by athlete above height y_max / 2 is:

                             y - y_o = v_o*t_up - 0.5*g*t^2_up

                             v_o = 0.5*g*t_up

- Equate two equations:

                             sqrt (2*g*y_max) = 0.5*g*t_up

                             t_up = 2*sqrt(2*g*y_max) / g

- The total time taken by athlete to reach height y_max / 2 from ground is:

                            y - y_o = v_o*t_down - 0.5*g*t^2_down

                            g*t_^2down - 2*v_o*t_down + y_max = 0

- Solve the quadratic and evaluate t_down:

                            t_down = (v_o +/- sqrt (v^2_o - g*y_max)) / g

Substitute for v_o =  sqrt (2*g*y_max)

                            t_down = (sqrt(2g*y_max) +/- sqrt(g*y_max)) / g

- We will use the minus quantity, because we need the first part of the journey from ground from the two times he passes the height of y_max/2.

Hence,

                             t_down = (sqrt(2g*y_max) - sqrt(g*y_max)) / g

                             t_down = (sqrt(g*y_max) / g) * (sqrt(2) - 1)

- Compute the ratio t_up to t_down:

         t_up / t_down = 2*sqrt(2*g*y_max) / g * g / (sqrt(g*y_max)*(sqrt(2) - 1)

                                  = 2*sqrt(2) / (sqrt(2) - 1)

                                  = 6.83

Answer:

Okay let say from the diagram you have more force come in from the B point of the magnet and release out from A point of the magnet. so lets say north is always the attractive spot and south is your releasing spot.

Explanation:

meaning from magnet the north pole attracts objects and the south pole repeal object.

The frequency of a wave is 200 Hz. The wavelength is 0.1 m. What is the period of the wave?
Aleks04 [339]
The formula for the period of wave is: wave period is equals to 1 over the frequency.waveperiod=\frac{1}{frequency}
To get the value of period of wave you need to divide 1 by 200 Hz. However, beforehand, you have to convert 200 Hz to cycles per second. So that would be, 200 cyles per second or 200/s.
By then, you can start the computation by dividing 1 by 200/s. Since 200/s is in fractional form, you have to find its reciprocal form and multiply it to one which would give you 1 (one) second over 200. This would then lead us to the value 0.005 seconds as the wave period.

wave period= 1/200 Hz
Convert Hz to cycles per second first
200 Hz x 1/s= 200/second
Make 200/second as your divisor, so:

wave period= 1/ 200/s

get the reciprocal form of 200/s which is s/200

then you can start the actual computation:

wave period= 1 x s divided by 200

this would give us an answer of 0.005 s.

Science is made up of two things, what is it
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Natural science is concerned with the description, prediction, and understanding of natural phenomena based on empirical evidence from observation and experimentation. It can be divided into two main branches: life science (or biological science) and physical science.
