The maximum energy a bone can absorb without breaking is surprisingly small. Experimental data show that both leg bones, togethe

r, of a healthy human adult can absorb about 200 J before breaking. From what maximum height could a 75 kg person jump and land rigidly upright on both feet without breaking their legs

Answer:

0.21m

Explanation:

Note that the 200 J before breaking legs is Kinetic energy

So if potential energy= kinetic energy

Then 200J = mgh

h= 200/75x 9.8

= 0.21m so the maximum height will be 0.21m

Ainat [17]

Answer:

  • <em>Abbie’s acceleration is (1/2) Zak’s acceleration.</em>

Explanation

1. <u>Data</u>:

a) ω = constant

b) Abbie: r₁ = 1 m

c) Zak: r₂ = 2 m

d) Ac₁ = ? Ac₂

2. <u>Formulae</u>

  • Ac = ω² r

3. <u>Solution</u>:

a) Abbie:

  • Ac₁ = ω² r₁  =  ω² (1m)

b) Zack:

  • Ac₂ = ω² r₂  = ω² (2m)

c) Divide Ac₁ / Ac₂

  • Ac₁ / Ac₂ =  ω² (1m) / [ω² (2m) ] = 1/2

⇒      Ac₁ = (1/2) Ac₂ = Ac₂ / 2 = 0.5 Ac₂

Calculate the pressure on the bottom of a swimming pool 3. 5 m deep. How does the pressure compare with atmospheric pressure, 10
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

  1.343 atm

Explanation:

The mass of water above 1 square meter of swimming pool bottom is ...

  M = (3.5 m)·(1000 kg/m^3) = 3500 kg/m^2

Then the force exerted by the water on the pool bottom is ...

  F = Mg = (3500 kg/m^2)(9.8 m/s^2) = 34300 N/m^2 = 34300 Pa

Compared with atmospheric pressure, this is ...

  34,300/10^5 = 0.343 . . . . atmospheres

Added to the atmospheric pressure on the water's surface, the total pressure on the pool bottom is 1.343 atmospheres.

a ferry which runs at 12m/s in still water travels between towns a and b on a river which flows south at 9 m/s. the ferry leavs
Reil [10]

Answer:

= 15 m/s

Explanation:

Considering right side(west) as positive x-axis and south as negative y-axis.

velocity of boat in still water v_b=12\hat{i}

velocity of stream v_s=-9\hat{j}

now relative velocity of boat w.r.t. stream v_{b/s}=12\hat{i}+9\hat{j}

this velocity with which ac distance will be covered.

therefore magnitude of v_{b/s} =\sqrt{12^2+9^2}

= 15 m/s

Suppose you were examining a pulsing radio signal from a stellar remnant in a distant part of the Milky Way. Knowing that ionizi
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

- Time delta is associated with difference in wavelengths

Explanation:

When pulsating radio waves consisting of different wavelengths pass through the ionized gas in interstellar space, the fast oscillating radio waves travel relatively faster than the slowly oscillating radio waves. As a result radio waves get dispersed and there is a time difference between the radio waves with different wavelength when the pulses arrive.
