An average person can reach a maximum height of about 60 cm when jumping straight up from a crouched position. During the jump i
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Height attained by body = 50 cm

= .5 m

Initial velocity = u

v² = u² - 2gh

0 = u² - 2gh

u² = 2 x 9.8 x .5

u = 3.13 m /s

During the initial period , the muscle stretches by around 10 cm during which force by ground reacts on the body and gives acceleration to achieve velocity of 3.13 m/s from zero .

v² = u² + 2as

3.13² = 0 + 2 a x .10

a = 49  m/s²

reaction by ground R

Net force

R-mg = ma

R= m ( g +a )

= mg + ma

=W + (W/g) x a

W ( 1 + a / g )

= W ( 1 + 49 / 9.8 )

= 6W

The ____ of emitted light depends directly on the energy between the two orbits and this determines the color of the light
Anna007 [38]

The <u>frequency</u> of emitted light is directly proportional to the energy between the two orbits and this determines the color of the light.

<h3>What is light?</h3>

Light can be defined as a form of electromagnetic waves that does not require any medium for its propagation. This ultimately implies that, light is a form of wave that is generally referred to as a visual signal because it can be seen with the eyes.

According to the model of light wave, the <u>frequency</u> of emitted light is directly proportional to the energy between the two orbits and this determines the color of the light.

<em>In conlcusion, the </em><u><em>frequency</em></u><em> of emitted </em><em>light</em><em> is highly dependent on the </em><em>energy</em><em> between the two (2) </em><em>orbits</em><em>.</em>

A sprinter practicing for the 200-m dash accelerates uniformly from rest at A and reaches a top speed of 35 km/h at the 67-m mar
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

0.705 m/s²

Explanation:

a) The sprinter accelerates uniformly from rest and reaches a top speed of 35 km/h at the 67-m mark.

Using newton's law of motion:

v² = u² + 2as

v = final velocity = 35 km/h = 9.72 m/s, u = initial velocity = 0 km/h,  s = distance = 67 m

9.72² = 0² + 2a(67)

134a = 94.484

a = 0.705 m/s²

b) The sprinter maintains this speed of 35 km/h for the next 88 meters. Therefore:

v = 35 km/h = 9.72 m/s, u = 35 km/h = 9.72 m/s, s = 88 m

v² = u² + 2as

9.72² = 9.72² + 2a(88)

176a = 9.72² - 9.72²

a = 0

c) During the last distance, the speed slows down from 35 km/h to 32 km/h.

u = 35 km/h = 9.72 m/s, v = 32 km/h = 8.89 m/s, s = 200 - (67 + 88) = 45 m

v² = u² + 2as

8.89² = 9.72² + 2a(45)

90a = 8.89² - 9.72²

90a = -15.4463

a = -0.1716 m/s²

The maximum acceleration is 0.705 m/s² which is from 0 to 67 m mark.
