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.

1) You can find the velocity with which the jumper leaves the ground by using the formula for the final velocity of an upward vertical motion.

Vf^2 = Vo^2 - 2gd

The data known are: Vf = 0, g = 9.81 m/s^2,   and d = 60 cm = 0.6 m

=> Vo^2 = 2gd = 2*9.81m/s^2 * 0.6 m = .11.772 m^2/s^2 =>

Vo = 3.4 m/s

2) You can obtain the acceleration of the jumper during the jump by using the equivalent formula, Vf^2 = Vo^2 + 2ad

Where, Vf^2 is the velocity with which he leaves the ground (3.4 m/s), Vo is zero because he jumps from the rest, d is the distance that his body rises from knees,which is 50 cm = 0.5 m

Then,  a = Vf^2 / 2d = [3.4m/s]^2 / (2*0.5m) =   11.6 m/s^2

And now, you can find the force exerted by the jumper as:

F = m*a, and if you know his weight, W = m*g => m = W/g

Replace m in F = m*a => F = W*a/g = W*11.6m/s^2 / 9.81 m/s^2 = 0.10 W

F = 0.10 W

Which of the following is a typical property of an ionic compound
Yanka [14]

The answer is C.

Ionic compounds are those that bring together anions and cations bonded together by ionic bonds. The electrostatic forces of the different charges are significant in the bonds that make them strong hence require high energy to break them (high melting point).  Due to the regular structure of ionic compound that tend to form lattices in solid form, when struck, they shatter along the lines of weakness of the lattice.

Two forces, F⃗ 1F→1F_1_vec and F⃗ 2F→2F_2_vec, act at a point. F⃗ 1F→1F_1_vec has a magnitude of 9.20 NN and is directed at an a
marishachu [46]

Answer:

-9.46 N

Explanation:

In order to get the value of the x component of the resultant force, we need to get the value of the x component of each force.

This value will be the projection of the force vector, on the x-axis.

For F₁, as it is directed at an angle of 55.0º above the negative x axis, we can find F₁ₓ just applying the definition of cosine of an angle, as follows:

cos θ = \frac{x}{r}

In this case, x = F₁ₓ, and r = F₁

θ, measured from the positive x axis counterclockwise, is as follows:

θ= 180º-55º = 125º

⇒ F₁ₓ = F₁* cosθ = 9.2 N * cos 125º = -5.28 N

We can repeat the process for F₂, as follows:

For F₂, as it is directed at an angle of 53.3º below the negative x axis, we can find F₂ₓ just applying the definition of cosine of an angle, as follows:

cos θ = \frac{x}{r}

In this case, x = F₂ₓ, and r = F₂

θ, measured from the positive x axis counterclockwise, is as follows:

θ= 180º + 53.3º = 233.3º

⇒ F₂ₓ = F₂* cosθ = 7.00 N * cos 233.3º = -4.18 N

The total component of both forces along the x axis, can be found just adding both components, as follows:

Fₓ = F₁ₓ + F₂ₓ = -5.28 N + -4.18 N = -9.46 N

Imagine that you have a 6.50 l gas tank and a 4.50 l gas tank. you need to fill one tank with oxygen and the other with acetylen
Margarita [4]
V₁(O2) = 6.50<span>  L                
</span>p₁(O2) = 155 atm          
V₂(acetylene) = <span>4.50 L                   
</span>p₂(acetylene) =?                             

According to Boyle–Mariotte law (At constant temperature and unchanged amount of gas, the product of pressure and volume is constant) we can compare two gases that have ideal behavior and the law can be usefully expressed as:

V₁/p₁ = V₂/p₂

6.5/155 = 4.5/p₂

0.042 x p₂ = 4.5

p₂ = 107.3 atm

How is mirage formed
Triss [41]

Answer:

Mirages are formed when the ground is really hot and the air is really cold. The hot ground will warm a layer of the air closest to the ground. When the light moves through the cold air and hits the warm air it bends creating the U shaped bend
