You find yourself in the middle of a frozen lake with a surface so slippery (ms = mk = 0) you cannot walk. However, you happen t

o have several rocks in your pocket. The ice is extremely hard. It cannot be chipped, and the rocks slip on it just as much as your feet do. Can you think of a way to get to shore? Use pictures, forces, and Newton’s laws to explain your reasoning.

In the high jump, the kinetic energy of an athlete is transformed into gravitational potential energy without the aid of a pole.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

6.0 m/s

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy (potential, PE, + kinetic, KE) of the athlete must be conserved.

Therefore, we can write:

KE_i+PE_i =KE_f+PE_f

or

\frac{1}{2}mu^2+0=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh

where:

m is the mass of the athlete

u is the initial speed of the athlete (at the bottom)

0 is the initial potential energy of the athlete (at the bottom)

v = 0.80 m/s is the final speed of the athlete (at the top)

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

h = 1.80 m is the final height of the athlete (at the top)

Solving the equation for u, we find the initial speed at which the athlete must jump:

u=\sqrt{v^2+2gh}=\sqrt{0.80^2+2(9.8)(1.80)}=6.0 m/s

Where should an object be placed in front of a concave mirror’s principal axis to form an image that is real, inverted, larger t
Charra [1.4K]
If the object is kept in between the principle axis and the focus but some what nearer to the focus then we will get the enlarge,erect,and real image.
