The motivation behind why the vertical stature of the stairs is the main thing measured is that it uncovers to us how much gravity is up against the individual and their weight, so we require this data to decide how much vitality and power we have to get up the stairs.

If you push a crate across a factory floor at constant speed in a constant direction, what is the magnitude of the force of fric
poizon [28]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push

Explanation:

Since the crate moves at a constant speed, there is no net acceleration and thus, my push is balanced by the frictional force on the crate. So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.

Let F = push and f = frictional force and f' = net force

F - f = f' since the crate moves at constant speed, acceleration is zero and thus f' = ma = m (0) = 0

So, F - f = 0

Thus, F = f

So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.

Why does a box on the seat of a car slide around on the c one the car speeds up slows down or turns a corner?
Feliz [49]
Because the box keeps going straight at the same speed, while the seat under it speeds up, slows down, or changes direction.

A high-jump athlete leaves the ground, lifting her center of mass 1.8 m and crossing the bar with a horizontal velocity of 1.4 m
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The minimum speed when she leave the ground is 6.10 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Horizontal velocity = 1.4 m/s

Height = 1.8 m

We need to calculate the minimum speed must she leave the ground

Using conservation of energy

K.E+P.E=P.E+K.E

\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{1}^2+0=mgh+\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{2}^2

\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{2}=gh+\dfrac{v_{2}^2}{2}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{2}=9.8\times1.8+\dfrac{(1.4)^2}{2}

\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{2}=18.62

v_{1}=\sqrt{2\times18.62}

v_{1}=6.10\ m/s

Hence, The minimum speed when she leave the ground is 6.10 m/s.

A truck moves 60 kilometers east from point A to point B. At point B, it turns back west and stops 15 kilometers away from point
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Distance: 75 km

Displacement: 45 km

Explanation:

- Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to the total space covered by an object. It is calculated as the sum of the distances covered in each motion, regardless of their direction. therefore in this case:

distance = 60 km + 15 km = 75 km

- Displacement is a vector quantity whose magnitude is equal to the difference between the final point and the starting point of the motion, so it also takes into account the direction of each motion. In this case, the truck moves 60 km east, and then 15 km west: if we call '0' the starting point, the final point will be then

p_B = 60 km - 15 km=45 km

And so the displacement is

d=p_B - p_A=45 km - 0 = 45 km
