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.

What type of energy is involved when a river moves sediment and erodes its banks?
ziro4ka [17]
<span>First question: The type of energy involved when a river moves sediment and erodes its banks is: option d. Kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy associated with motion. A body (in this case the water) that moves has an energy associated with its motion that is proportional to the speed (exactly to the square of the speed). When the water collides with the banks it is the kinetic energy of the river that erodes it Second question: the answer is the option d. As gravity pulls water down a slope potential energy changes to knietic energy. This is the, water loses altitude and gains velocity. The potential energy. which is proportional to the height, decreases and the kinetic energy, which is proportional to the square of the speed, increases.</span>

The electrons lost from chlorophyll photooxidation are replaced by the oxidation of water. how many electrons are generated from
White raven [17]

There are 2 electrons generated from the oxidation of one water molecule.

<h3>Describe photooxidation.</h3>

The process of a substance interacting with oxygen or losing electrons from chemical species under the influence of light is known as photooxidation. Photooxidation happens in plants when there is environmental stress. It is called photooxidative stress as a result. Reactive oxygen species are produced by the absorption of excess excitation energy in plant tissues. Chloroplasts are harmed by the accumulation of these reactive oxygen species, which is a damaging process in plants. High-intensity light and little CO_{2} are the two conditions that cause this photooxidative stress to occur most frequently. It is a procedure that requires light. Photorespiration in C_{3} plants guards against photooxidation.

If the same fish is attached to the end of the unstretched spring and then allowed to fall from rest, through what maximum dista
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

x=2d

Explanation:

initial stretch in the spring is d

so using Hook's law

at equilibrium position

k×d=mg

where k= spring constant

m= mass of fish

g= acceleration due to gravity.

d=mg/k ................ (1)

in second case  by energy conservation

1/2 kx^2=mgx

x=2mg/k

using equation 1

x=2d
