It means that matter could be converted into energy. e=mc^2 means that energy=mass•speed of light squared.

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.

Mathematical expression for the Newton's second law of motion is given as:

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

where:

dp = change in momentum

dt = time taken to change the momentum

We know, momentum:

$p=m.v$

Now, equation (1) becomes:

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

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

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

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.

& Impulse:

$I=F.dt$

$I=m.a.dt$

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

$I=m.dv=dp$

∵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.

What is an unbalanced force

Butoxors [25]

There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force".

If all of the forces acting on an object all add up to zero, then we say that
the group of forces is balanced. When that happens, the group of forces
has the same effect on the object as if there were no forces on it at all.

An example:
Two people with exactly equal strength are having a tug-of-war. They pull
with equal force in opposite directions. Each person is sweating and straining,
grunting and groaning, and exerting tremendous force. But their forces add up
to zero, and the rope goes nowhere. The group of forces on the rope is balanced.

On the other hand, if one of the offensive linemen is pulling on one end of
the rope, and one of the cheerleaders is pulling on the other end, then their
forces don't add up to zero, because even though they're opposite, they're
not equal. The group of forces is unbalanced, and the rope moves.

A group of forces is either balanced or unbalanced. A single force isn't.
