Problem 10.64 the maximum energy a bone can absorb without breaking is surprisingly small. for a healthy human of mass 67 kg , e

xperimental data show that the leg bones can absorb about 200 j . part a from what maximum height could a person jump and land rigidly upright on both feet without breaking his legs? assume that all the energy is absorbed in the leg bones in a rigid landing. neglect any friction.

Answer: h = 0.30 m

Explanation:

A person jumping from height h would possess potential energy = m g h

which will convert completely into kinetic energy as person hits the ground. Now, the maximum energy absorbed by the person can be = 200 J

m = 67 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

⇒ m g h = 200 J

⇒ h = 200 J / (67 kg × 9.8 m/s²) = 0.30 m

Hence, a person can land safely on both legs without breaking them from a height of 0.30 m only.

How do I calculate density?
sasho [114]

The Density Calculator uses the formula p=m/V, or density (p) is equal to mass (m) divided by volume (V). The calculator can use any two of the values to calculate the third. Density is defined as mass per unit volume.

the radius of a ball is increasing at a rate of 2 mm per second. how fast is the volume of the ball increasing when the diameter
otez555 [7]

Step 1: Define an equation that relates the volume of a sphere to its radius.

V = 4/3*π*r3

Step 2: Take the derivative of each side with respect to time (we will define time as "t").

(d/dt)V = (d/dt)(4/3*π*r3)

dV/dt = 4πr2*dr/dt

Step 3: We are told in the problem statement that diameter is 100m, so therefore r = 50mm. We are also told the radius of the sphere is increasing at a rate of 2mm/s, so therefore dr/dt = 2mm/s. We are looking for how fast the volume of the sphere is increasing, or dV/dt.

dV/dt = 4π(50mm)2*(2mm/s)

dV/dt = 62,832 mm3/s

notsponge [240]

Answer:

Fossil fuels come from the ground and are millions of years old

Explanation:

Fossil fuels come from the ground. i can infer and tell because most fossils are in the ground and also fossils are millions of years old. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons, primarily coal, fuel oil or natural gas, and is from the remains of dead plants and animals. In  dialogue, the term fossil fuel also includes hydrocarbon-containing natural resources that are not derived from animal or plant sources.
