Peter, a 100 kg basketball player, lands on his feet after completing a slam dunk and then immediately jump up again to celebrat

e his basket. When his feet first touch the floor after the dunk,
his velocity is 5 m/s downward; when his feet leave the floor 0.50 s later, as he jumps back up,
his velocity is 4 m/s upward. What is the average reaction force exerted upward by the floor on Peter during this 0.50 s?

Answer:

1800 N

Solution:

Impulse = mΔv = m * (u - v) .

 here m = 100 kg

          u = 4 m/s

          v = -5 m/s

  impulse = 100 x ( 4 - ( -5 ) ) = 900 Kg m/s .

Average reaction Force ( Favg ) = impulse / Δt

Average reaction Force ( Favg )  = 900kg·m/s / 0.5s

Average reaction Force ( Favg )  = 1800 N

A merry-go-round has a small box placed on it at a distance R' from its axis of
Lady_Fox [76]

The time after it starts spinning, that the box will slip off is 0.1 s.

<h3>Apply the principle of conservation of angular momentum</h3>

I₁ω₁ - I₂ω₂ = 0

I₁ω₁  =  I₂ω₂

where;

  • I₁ is initial moment of inertia
  • I₂ is final moment of inertia
  • ω₁ is initial angular speed
  • ω₂ is final angular speed

The final angular speed when the box slides off;

ω₂ = I₁ω₁ / I₂

ω₂  = [0.5(m₁ + m₂)(R + r)²] / (0.5MR²)

ω₂  = [0.5(30 + 0.3)(3.1 + 1.4)²] / (0.5 x 30 x 3.1²)

ω₂  = 2.13 rad/s

Time taken for the for box to slide off;

τ = Iα

τ = I(ω/t)

τ = (Iω)/t

t =  (Iω)/τ

t = (0.5 x 0.3 x 1.4² x 2.13)/6

t = 0.1 s

Thus, the time after it starts spinning, that the box will slip off is 0.1 s.

How many star are thier in the universe​
FrozenT [24]
<h2>About 1 trillion billion stars (21 0's)</h2><h2 />

There is an average of 100 billion stars per galaxy. But you are looking for a universe, which is bigger than a galaxy.

According to UCSB Science Line, there are about 1 trillion billion stars in the observable universe. That's one 1 and twenty-one 0's.

Explain how birthrates and death rates influence the size of population.
Virty [35]
Having a high birth rate and a slow death rate would lead to an increase of population but a low birth rate and a high death rate would lead to the decrease of a population.

If a vehicle is traveling at constant velocity and then comes to a sudden stop, has it undergone negative acceleration or positi
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Negative acceleration

Explanation:

Let us assume a vehicle is moving with a constant velocity u and then it comes to a sudden stop.

The initial velocity of the vehicle is u and finally it comes to rest, it means final velocity is 0.

As we know that,

Acceleration is equal to change in velocity divided by time taken.

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\\text{Put v=0}\\\\a=\dfrac{-u}{t}

We can see that the value of acceleration is negative. Hence, it leads to negative acceleration.
