You are bungee jumping from a bridge. Initially, while you are falling the slack bungee cord isn’t exerting any forces or torque
harina [27]

Answer:

he fall movement we see that both the force is different from zero, and the torque is different from zero.

When analyzing the statements the d is true

Explanation:

Let's pose the solution of this problem, to be able to analyze the firm affirmations.

When the person is falling, the weight acts on them all the time, initially the rope has no force, but at the moment it begins to lash it exerts a force towards the top that is proportional to the lengthening of the rope.

The equation for this part is

                 Fe - W = m a  

                 k x - mg = m a

As the axis of rotation is located at the top where they jump, there is a torque.

What is it

                Fe y - W y = I α

angular and linear acceleration are related

       a = α r

       Fe y - W y = I a / r

In the fall movement we see that both the force is different from zero, and the torque is different from zero.

When analyzing the statements the d is true

1. Impulse is the product of force and distance. True or false?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Impulse, I = F.t

  The statement impulse is the product of Force and distance is false.

2. F = m g

   Force necessary to lift the object depends on the mass of the object.

   statement 2 is false.

3. Joule is equal to Newton times meter.

    Statement 3 is false.

4. Work done to lift an object is correct statement.

   Statement 4 is true.

5. Kinetic energy of an object is due to motion.

  Statement 5 is false.

6. Stopping distance is directly proportional to the square of velocity.

     If velocity is doubled, stopping distance is quadrupled.

    Statement 6 is false.

W=90 kg×4n/kg<br>Please halp me i need it ​
kiruha [24]

I'm guessing that this is a problem to find the weight of a 90kg mass on a planet where the acceleration of gravity is 4 m/s^2. (Much less gravity than Earth, a little more than Mars.)

Just do the multiplication, and you get

360 Newtons.
