A space shuttle takes off from FL and circles Earth several times, finally landing in CA. While the shuttle is in flight, a phot

ographer flies from FL to CA to take pictures of astronauts when they step off the shuttle. Who undergoes the greater displacement, the astronauts or the photographer?

Answer:

Both the astronauts and photographer have the same displacement

Explanation:

Displacement is the minimum distance between two point. The initial point of both the astronauts and the photographer was Florida and the final point was California. So, the minimum distance for both of the astronauts and the photographer would be the distance between Florida and California would be the same.

Hence, both the astronauts and photographer will have the same displacement.

.A hard rubber ball, released at chest height, falls to the pavement and bounces back to nearly the same height. When it is in c
ohaa [14]

Answer:

 a = 1.1 10⁵ m / s²

Explanation:

This is a momentum exercise, where we use the relationship between momentum and momentum

          I = ∫ F dt = Δp

= p_f - p₀

as they indicate that the ball bounces at the same height, we can assume that the moment when it reaches the ground is equal to the moment when it bounces, but in the opposite direction

        F t = 2 (m v)

therefore the average force is

         F = 2 m v / t

where in general the mass of the ball unknown, the velocity of the ball can be calculated using the conservation of energy

starting point. Done the ball is released with zero initial velocity

        Em₀ = U = mgh

final point. Upon reaching the ground, just before the deformation begins

        Em_f = K = ½ m v²

energy is conserved in this system

        Em₀ = Em_f

        m g h = ½ m v²

        v = √ (2gh)

This is the velocity of the body when it reaches the ground, so the force remains

        F = 2m √(2gh)   /t

where the height of the person's chest is known and the time that the impact with the floor lasts must be estimated in general is of the order of milli seconds

knowing this force let's use Newton's second law

          F = m a

          a = F / m

 

          a = 2 √(2gh) / t

We can estimate the order of magnitude of this acceleration, assuming the person's chest height of h = 1.5 m and a collision time of t = 1 10⁻³ s

         a = 2 √ (2 9.8 1.5) / 10⁻³

         a = 1.1 10⁵ m / s²

A high-jumper, having just cleared the bar, lands on an air mattress and comes to rest. Had she landed directly on the hard grou
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

e. the air mattress exerts the same impulse, but a smaller net avg force, on the high-jumper than hard-ground.

Explanation:

This is according to the Newton's second law and energy conservation that the force exerted by the hard-ground is more than the force exerted by the mattress.

The hard ground stops the moving mass by its sudden reaction in the opposite direction of impact force whereas the mattress takes a longer time to stop the motion of same mass in a longer time leading to lesser average reaction force.

<u>Mathematical expression for the Newton's second law of motion is given as:</u>

F=\frac{dp}{dt} ............................................(1)

where:

dp = change in momentum

dt = time taken to change the momentum

We know, momentum:

p=m.v

Now, equation (1) becomes:

F=\frac{d(m.v)}{dt}

<em>∵mass is constant at speeds v << c (speed of light)</em>

\therefore F=m.\frac{dv}{dt}

and, \frac{dv}{dt} =a

where: a = acceleration

\Rightarrow F=m.a

also

F\propto \frac{1}{dt}

so, more the time, lesser the force.

<em>& </em><u><em>Impulse:</em></u>

I=F.dt

I=m.a.dt

I=m.\frac{dv}{dt}.dt

I=m.dv=dp

∵Initial velocity and final velocity(=0), of a certain mass is same irrespective of the stopping method.

So, the impulse in both the cases will be same.
