Assume that when you stretch your torso vertically as much as you can, your center of mass is 1.0 m above the floor. The maximum

Elenna [48]

1) 0.77 m

2) 0.23 m

Explanation:

Here we want to find the time elapsed for crouching in order to jump and reach a height of 2.0 m above the floor, starting from 1.0 m above the floor.

First of all, we start by calculating the speed required to jump up to a height of 2.0 m. Since the total energy is conserved, the initial kinetic energy is converted into gravitational potential energy, so:

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh$

where

m is the mass of the man

v is the speed after jumping

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

h = 2.0 - 1.0 = 1.0 m is the change in height

Solving for v,

$v=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(1.0)}=4.43 m/s$

In the acceleration phase, we know that the initial velocity is

$u=0$

And the force exerted on the floor is 2.3 times the gravitational force, so

$F=2.3 mg$

This means the net force on you is

$F_{net} = F-mg=2.3mg-mg=1.3 mg$

because we have to consider the force of gravity acting downward.

So the acceleration of the man is

$a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}=\frac{1.3mg}{m}=1.3g$

Now we can use the following suvat equation to find the displacement in the acceleration phase, which is how low the man has to crouch in order to jump:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where s is the quantity we want to find. Solving for s,

$s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{4.43^2-0}{2(1.3g)}=0.77 m$

At the beginning, we are told that the height of the center of mass above the floor is

h = 1.0 m

During the acceleration phase and the crouch, the height of the center of mass of the body decreases by

$\Delta h = -0.77 m$

This means that the lowest point reached by the center of mass above the floor during the crouch is

$h'=h+\Delta h = 1.0 - 0.77 = 0.23 m$

This value seems unpractical, since it is not really easy to crouch until having the center of mass 0.23 m above the ground.

Why does the cyclist have less kinetic energy at position A than at position B?

Semmy [17]

Suppose that the cyclist begins his journey from the rest from the top of a wedge with a slope of a degree above the horizontal.
At point A (where it starts its journey), the energy is:
Ea = m * g * h
In other words, energy is only potential.
At point B (located at the bottom of the wedge), the energy is:
Eb = (1/2) * (m) * (v ^ 2)
In other words, the energy is only kinetic.
For energy conservation we have:
Ea = Eb
That is, we have that all potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.
Which means that the cyclist has less kinetic energy at point A because that's where he has more potential energy.
answer:
the cyclist has less kinetic energy at point A because that's where he has more potential energy.
