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.

In an electron microscope, electrons are accelerated to great velocities. Calculate the wavelength of an electron traveling with
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Wavelength, \lambda=1.04\times 10^{-13}\ m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity of an electron, v=7\times 10^6\ m/s

Mass of an electron, m=9.1\times 10^{-28}\ kg

We need to find the wavelength of an electron. It can be calculated using the De- Broglie wavelength as :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{mv}

\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{9.1\times 10^{-28}\times 7\times 10^6}

\lambda=1.04\times 10^{-13}\ m

So, the wavelength of an electron is 1.04\times 10^{-13}\ m. Hence, this is the required solution.

A typical flying insect applies an average force equal to twice its weight during each downward stroke while hovering. Take the
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Average power output of insect is 2.42W

Explanation:

Workdone by constant force during displacement is given by:

W= F× d cos theta

Where theta is angle between F and d.

Power output due to the force over the interval time is given by:

P= Workdone/change in time

Ginen:

Mass of insect,m= 7.0g= 7/1000 = 0.07kg

Downward force applied by insect,F= 2mg

Distance moved by the wing each stroke=1.5cm=1.5/100= 0.015m

W= F× d cos theta

Where theta=0° since force is in the same direction as the displacement.

W= 2mg×d

W= 2× 0.07 × 9.8 × 0.015

W= 0.02058J

Power output = W/ change in time

Since wings make 117strokes each second time interval is 1/117 = 8.5×10^-3seconds

Power= 0.02058/(8.5×10^-3)

Power= 2.42W

a boy is riding a bicycle at a velocity of 5.0 m/s. he applies the brakes and uniformly decelerates to a stop at a rate of 2.5 m
JulijaS [17]

The working equation would be Vf (final velocity) = Vi (initial velocity) + a (acceleration) t (time). The given data are the initial velocity (5.0 m/s), acceleration (-2.5 m/s^2, negative since it is said to decelerate) and the final velocity (0 m/s, since it will put to a stop). The time would be 2 seconds.
