The correct answer is B (Inertia)

We define inertia as the resistance to change of the state of motion. That is, a body tends to remain in its state of motion or rests unless an external for acts on it. The quantity depends on the mass of the body. If the body is heavy, it requires a large force to overcome the inertia.

A 60 kg man jumps down from a 0.8 m table. What is the speed when he
Rom4ik [11]

Answer: Speed = 4 m/s

Explanation:

The parameters given are

Mass M = 60 kg

Height h = 0.8 m

Acceleration due to gravity g= 10 m/s2

Before the man jumps, he will be experiencing potential energy at the top of the table.

P.E = mgh

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

P.E = 60 × 9.8 × 0.8

P.E = 470.4 J

As he jumped from the table and hit the ground, the whole P.E will be converted to kinetic energy according to conservative of energy.

When hitting the ground,

K.E = P.E

Where K.E = 1/2mv^2

Substitute m and 470.4 into the formula

470.4 = 1/2 × 60 × V^2

V^2 = 470.4/30

V^2 = 15.68

V = square root (15.68)

V = 3.959 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the man when hitting the ground is approximately 4 m/s

Find the object's speeds v1, v2, and v3 at times t1=2.0s, t2=4.0s, and t3=13s.
Burka [1]
Since this is a distance/time graph, the speed at any time is the slope
of the part of the graph that's directly over that time on the x-axis.

At time  t1 = 2.0 s
That's in the middle of the first segment of the graph,
that extends from zero to 3 seconds.
Its slope is  7/3 .              v1 = 7/3 m/s .

At time  t2 = 4.0 s
That's in the middle of the horizontal part of the graph
that runs from 3 to 6 seconds.
Its slope is zero.
                                     v2 = zero .

At time  t3 = 13 s.
That's in the middle of the part of the graph that's sloping down,
between 11 and 16 seconds.
Its slope is  -3/5 .            v3 = -0.6 m/s .

During a free fall Swati was accelerating at -9.8m/s2. After 120 seconds how far did she travel? Use the formula =1/2 *
marta [7]
Distance fallen = 1/2 ( V initial + V final ) *t
We know
a = -9.8 m/s2
t=120s

To find distance fallen, we need to find V final
Use the equation
V final = V initial + a*t
Substitute known values
V final = 0 + (-9.8)(120)
V final = -1176 m/s

Then plug known values to distance fallen equation
Distance fallen = 1/2 ( 0 + 1176 )(120)
= 1/2(1776)(120)
=106,560 m

This way plugging into distance equation is actually the long way. A faster way is to plug the values into
Distance fallen = V initial * t + 1/2(a*t)
We won't need to find V final using another equation.

But anyways, good luck!

Lacie kicks a football from ground level at a velocity of 13.9 m/s and at an angle of 25.0° to the ground. How long will the bal
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

T = 1.2 s

T = 15.1 m = 15 m

Explanation:

This is a case of projectile motion:

TOTAL TIME OF FLIGHT:

The formula for total time of flight in projectile motion is:

T = 2 V₀ Sinθ/g

where,

T = Total Time of Flight = ?

V₀ = Launch Speed = 13.9 m/s

θ = Launch Angle = 25°

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

T = (2)(13.9 m/s)(Sin 25°)/(9.8 m/s²)

<u>T = 1.2 s</u>

<u></u>

RANGE OF BALL:

The formula for range in projectile motion is:

R = V₀² Sin2θ/g

where,

R = Horizontal Distance Covered by ball = ?

Therefore,

T = (13.9 m/s)²(Sin 2*25°)/(9.8 m/s²)

<u>T = 15.1 m = 15 m</u>
