When you jump from an elevated position you usually bend your knees upon reaching the ground. By doing this, you make the time o

Answer:

c. about 1/10 as great.

Explanation:

While jumping form a certain height when we bend our knees upon reaching  the ground such that the time taken to come to complete rest is increased by 10 times then the impact force gets reduced to one-tenth of the initial value when we would not do so.

This is in accordance with the Newton's second law of motion which states that the rate of change in velocity is directly proportional to the force applied on the body.

Mathematically:

F\propto\frac{d}{dt} (p)

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

since mass is constant

F=m\frac{d}{dt}v

when dt=10t

then,

F'=m.\frac{v}{10\times t}

F'=\frac{1}{10} \times \frac{m.v}{t}

F'=\frac{F}{10} the body will experience the tenth part of the maximum force.

where:

\frac{d}{dt} = represents the rate of change in dependent quantity with respect to time

p= momentum

m= mass of the person jumping

v= velocity of the body while hitting the ground.

Ultraviolet rays are used to _____.
NeTakaya

Answer:

Grow plants where little light is available

Explanation:

The plants need the ultraviolet rays in order to be able to survive and develop. The need mainly comes from the dependence of these rays for production of food, in a process known as photosynthesis. The plants are producers, thus they create their own food. In order to be able to do that they are using the ultraviolet rays, as well as water, and carbon dioxide. By combining them, the plants manage to create glucose for them, and that is their food source. The plants that are kept at places where there's not enough light are often exposed to ultraviolet rays so that they are able to perform the process of photosynthesis and grow properly.

Technician A says that torque-to-yield head bolts are special bolts that are reusable. Technician A says that main bearing clear
Blizzard [7]

Answer: D

Neither A nor B

Explanation:

In order to check the clearances for rod and main bearings, you need a set of micrometers and a dial-bore gauge

Measuring the inside diameter of a main or rod bearing will require a dial bore gauge. The best ones to use are accurate down to 0.0001-inch.

So, both technician A and B are incorrect
