Answer:

F = -11199.63 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of the brick = 12 Kg

height of the fall, h = 1.9 m

thickness of the carpet = 2 cm = 0.02 m

average force = ?

velocity of brick just before hitting mat

v = \sqrt{2gh}

v =\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 1.9}

      v = 6.11 m/s

velocity of brick just before hitting ground= 6.11 m/s

final velocity = 0 m/s

using equation of motion for acceleration calculation.

 v² = u² + 2 a s

 0² = 6.11² + 2x a x 0.02

 a = -\dfrac{6.11^2}{0.04}

    a  =-933.3025 m/s²

now, average force is equal to

F = m a

F = 12 x (-933.3025)

F = -11199.63 N

negative sign represent the decelerating force.

Froghopper insects have a typical mass of around 11.3 mg and can jump to a height of 58.8 cm. The takeoff velocity is achieved a
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

2874.33 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-0^2}{2\times h}\\\Rightarrow v^2=2ah\ m/s

Now H-h = 0.588 - 0.002 = 0.586 m

The final velocity will be the initial velocity

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow 0^2-u^2=2gs\\\Rightarrow -2ah=2\times g(H-h)\\\Rightarrow -2a0.002=2\times g0.586\\\Rightarrow a=-\frac{0.586\times -9.81}{0.002}\\\Rightarrow a=2874.33\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the frog is 2874.33 m/s²

A body is placed on a rough inclined plane. Why does the frictional force decrease with the increase of angle of inclination
kondor19780726 [428]
The frictional force is directly proportional to the force that is perpendicular on the surface.

When the body is placed on a horizontal level with zero inclination, the only force acting on the body is the gravitational force which always pulls the body down. The gravitational force, in this case, is the perpendicular force to the surface. Accordingly, this entire force is used to generate friction

Now as the inclination of the surface increases, the gravitational force is no longer the perpendicular force of the body, its value decreases, which means only a part is used to generate frictional force. Consequently, frictional force decreases.

When the inclination reaches 90 degrees, the gravitational force does not act along the normal and accordingly, no friction force is generated.
