An athlete always runs before taking a jump . why?

Physics

Answer:

An athlete runs before jumping to gain momentum. Because it helps in jumping higher and longer because of inertia of motion gained due to the motion. When the athletes Jump they already have a forward motion that would be greater than that of a jump made from standing in one spot.

Dan is gliding on his skateboard at 4.00m/s . He suddenly jumps backward off the skateboard, kicking the skateboard forward at 6
frozen [14]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Momentum. For this purpose we will define the momentum as the product between mass and velocity, and by conservation the initial momentum will be equal to the final momentum. Mathematically this is,

m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2

Here,

m_{1,2} = Mass of Dan and Skateboard respectively

u_{1,2} = Initial velocity of Dan and Skateboard respectively

v_{1,2} = Final velocity of Dan and Skateboard respectively

Our values are:

Dan's mass

m_1 = 60kg

Mass of the skateboard

m_2 = 7.0kg

Both have the same initial velocity, then

u_1= u_2 = 4m/s

Final velocity of Skateboard is

v_2 = 6m/s

Rearranging to find the final velocity of Dan we have then,

m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2

m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)u_1

v_1 = \frac{ (m_1+m_2)u_1 -m_2v_2}{m_1}

Replacing,

v_1 = \frac{(60+7)(4)-(7)(6)}{60}

v_1 = 3.76m/s

Therefore Dan will touch the ground at a speed of 3.76m/s

A football was kicked so that it traveled 65 yards in 3.0 total seconds. What was the speed
Olin [163]

Answer:

vx = 65 yd/3 sec  = 21.7 yd/sec  since horizontal speed is constant

vy = g t = (32 / 3) yd/sec^2 * 1.5 sec = 16 yd/sec   where 32/3 is the acceleration due to gravity in yds / sec^2  and 1.5 is the time to travel each way in the vertical direction

V = (vx^2 + vy^2)^1/2 = (21.7^2 + 16^2)^1/2 = 27 yd/sec

tan theta = vy/vx = 16 / 21.7 = .737    theta = 36.4 deg

You can check using the range formula:

R = v^2 sin (2 theta) / g = 27^2 * .955 / (32 / 3) = 65.3 yds  

The difference from 65 yds may be rounding error.
