A person jumps from the roof of a house 3.5-m high. When he strikes the ground below, he bends his knees so that his torso decel
Korvikt [17]

The force exerted on his torso by his legs during the deceleration is 4365 N.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass of the torso m=45kg

Height of the building s=3.5 m

Decelerating distance=0.71 m

when he jumps to the ground, the only acceleration is acceleration due to gravity g

<u>motion1 from top to ground </u>

initial velocity u=0

we have to calculate final velocity v using the following equation of motion.

v^2-u^2=2gs\\v^2-0^2=2\times 9.8\times3.5=68.6\\v=\sqrt{68.6} \\=8.3

use height of the building as the distance s as the jump from top to the ground is only described here.

<u>Motion 2 on the ground</u>

v=0

u=8.3(final  velocity of motion 1)

The deceleration after striking the ground can  be calculated from the equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\\a=v^2-u^2/2\times 0.71\\=0^2-8.3^2/0.71=97 m/s^2

The decelerating distance is used in the place of s since since the motion after hitting the ground is described in this case.

The equation of force is

F=ma\\=45\times 97=4365 N

Which describes a reflected image in a plane mirror
Lerok [7]

<u>Answers</u>

same distance from the mirror as the object

same size

lateral inversion

<u>Explanation</u>

The image formed by a plane mirror is formed at equal distance from the mirror as the object is.

The size of the image is the same as the size of the object.

The image is laterally inverted. This means that, when  a person lifts his right hand, his or her image will raise it's left hand.

What is energy converted to if it is not used to do work?
Romashka [77]

Answer:

the human body isn't very efficient at converting food into useful work. The human body is less than 5% efficient most of the time. The rest of the energy is converted to heat, which may or may not be useful, depending on how cool or warm a person wants to be.
