Answer:

e. the air mattress exerts the same impulse, but a smaller net avg force, on the high-jumper than hard-ground.

Explanation:

This is according to the Newton's second law and energy conservation that the force exerted by the hard-ground is more than the force exerted by the mattress.

The hard ground stops the moving mass by its sudden reaction in the opposite direction of impact force whereas the mattress takes a longer time to stop the motion of same mass in a longer time leading to lesser average reaction force.

<u>Mathematical expression for the Newton's second law of motion is given as:</u>

F=\frac{dp}{dt} ............................................(1)

where:

dp = change in momentum

dt = time taken to change the momentum

We know, momentum:

p=m.v

Now, equation (1) becomes:

F=\frac{d(m.v)}{dt}

<em>∵mass is constant at speeds v << c (speed of light)</em>

\therefore F=m.\frac{dv}{dt}

and, \frac{dv}{dt} =a

where: a = acceleration

\Rightarrow F=m.a

also

F\propto \frac{1}{dt}

so, more the time, lesser the force.

<em>& </em><u><em>Impulse:</em></u>

I=F.dt

I=m.a.dt

I=m.\frac{dv}{dt}.dt

I=m.dv=dp

∵Initial velocity and final velocity(=0), of a certain mass is same irrespective of the stopping method.

So, the impulse in both the cases will be same.

How expensive is genetic counseling and reproductive technology?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Genetic counseling without testing cost on average $213, whereas counseling, testing, and disclosure of results totaled $2057. A brief physician-based counseling instead of genetic counselor-based counseling would produce only small reductions in total costs.

hope it helps, please give me brainliest.

You are in Paris, 60 m up in the Eiffel Tower. If you throw a euro downward at a velocity of 2.0 m/s, how long would it take the
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

t = 3.29 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

Height of the Eiffel tower is 60 m

Initial speed of a euro, u = 2 m/s

It will move under the action of gravity in the downward direction. Firstly, we can find the final velocity as follows :

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\v=\sqrt{u^2+2ad} \\\\v=\sqrt{(2)^2+2\times 9.81\times 60} \\\\v=34.36\ m/s

Let t is the time taken by the euro to hit the ground. It can be calculated as :

v=u+at\\\\t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\dfrac{34.36-2}{9.81}\\\\t=3.29\ s

Hence, it will take 3.29 seconds to hit the ground.

A 5.0-m long, 12-kg uniform ladder rests against a smooth vertical wall with the bottom of the ladder 3.0 m from the wall. the c
Semmy [17]

First establish the summation of the forces acting int the ladder

Forces in the x direction Fx = 0 = force of friction (Ff) – normal force in the wall(n2)

Forces in the y direction Fy =0 = normal force in floor (n1) – (12*9.81) –( 60*9.81)

So n1 = 706.32 N

Since Ff = un1 = 0.28*706.32 = 197,77 N = n2

Torque balance along the bottom of the ladder = 0 = n2(4 m) – (12*9.81*2.5 m) – (60*9.81 *x m)

X = 0.844 m

5/ 3 = h/ 0.844

H = 1.4 m can the 60 kg person climb berfore the ladder will slip
