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.

What can affect gravity <br><br> Helpppppp!!!
Anvisha [2.4K]

gravity increases with height. gravity is significantly less on high mountains or tall buildings and increases as we lose height (which is why falling objects speed up) gravity is caused by the Earth spinning. gravity affects things while they are falling but stops when they reach the ground

Can someone help?
laila [671]

Answer:

i) 21 cm

ii) At infinity behind the lens.

iii) A virtual, upright, enlarged image behind the object

Explanation:

First identify,

object distance (u) = 42 cm (distance between  object and lens, 50 cm - 8 cm)

image distance (v) = 42 cm (distance between  image and lens, 92 cm - 50 cm)

The lens formula,

\frac{1}{v} -\frac{1}{u} =\frac{1}{f}

Then applying the new Cartesian sign convention to it,

\frac{1}{v} +\frac{1}{u} =\frac{1}{f}

Where f is (-), u is (+) and  v is (-) in  all 3  cases. (If not values with signs have to considered, this method that need will not arise)

Substituting values you get,

i) \frac{1}{42} +\frac{1}{42} =\frac{1}{f}\\\frac{2}{42} =\frac{1}{f}

f = 21 cm

ii) u =21 cm, f = 21 cm v = ?

Substituting in same equation\frac{1}{v} =\frac{1}{21} =\frac{1}{21} \\\\\frac{1}{v} = 0\\

  v ⇒ ∞ and image will form behind the lens

iii) Now the object will be within the focal length of the lens. So like in the attachment, a virtual, upright, enlarged image behind the object.

Which three temperature readings all mean the same thing?
Drupady [299]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) 273 Kelvin, 0 degrees Celsius, 32 degrees Fahrenheit

Explanation :

Conversion of degree Celsius to Kelvin :

K=^oC+273

Conversion of degree Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit :

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32

By using these two conversion factors, we get the three temperature readings all mean the same thing.

For option A :

K=^oC+273=100+273=373K

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32=(\frac{9}{5}\times 100)+32=212^oF

For option B :

K=^oC+273=100+273=373K

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32=(\frac{9}{5}\times 100)+32=212^oF

For option C :

K=^oC+273=0+273=273K

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32=(\frac{9}{5}\times 0)+32=32^oF

For option D :

K=^oC+273=0+273=273K

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32=(\frac{9}{5}\times 0)+32=32^oF

From the given options, only option (D) is correct.

Hence, the correct option is, (D) 273 Kelvin, 0 degrees Celsius, 32 degrees Fahrenheit
