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

Haley is trying to pull an object upward. The below forces are acting on the object.
ra1l [238]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define a reference system.

Suppose that the positive direction of the reference system is upward.

We have that the sum of forces in the vertical axis is given by:

Fy = Fp - Fg

Substituting values:

Fy = 5500 - 6000

Fy = - 500

The negative sign means that the direction of the force with respect to the defined coordinate system is downward.

Answer:

The net force is:

↓ 500N

a parallel circuit is sometimes called a because the current splits up among all the resistors in the parallel circuit
Ahat [919]
A parallel circuit is sometimes called a current divider because current splits up among all the resistors in the parallel circuit. In addition, the current through the branches is inversely proportional to the resistance of the branch. If the resistance in each branch is kept constant but the voltage is decreased, the current will decrease.

A ball is projected upward at time t=0.0s, from a point on a roof 90m above the ground. The ball rises, then falls and strikes t

As v becomes zero at the highest point, i prefer considering different travelling directions so it will become less complicated.
dont forget to add the total time up .

also to master the skills, write down the "uvsat" may help (thats the way i found it easier to handle problems)
