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

An object weighs 32 newtons. What is its mass if a gravitometer indicates that g = 8.25 m/s?
Elan Coil [88]

Explanation:

weight=mass×g

32=mass×8.25

mass=

\frac{128}{33}  = 3.878kg

A man paddles a canoe at 6 km per hour. If he paddles on a river with a current of 6 km per hour, what is the speed of the canoe
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

If the canoe heads upstream the speed is zero. And directly across the river is  8.48 [km/h] towards southeast

Explanation:

When the canoe moves upstream, it is moving in the opposite direction of the normal river current. Since the velocities are vector (magnitude and direction) we can sum each vector:

Vr = velocity of the river = 6[km/h}

Vc = velocity of the canoe = -6 [km/h]

We take the direction of the river as positive, therefore other velocity in the opposite direction will be negative.

Vt = Vr + Vc = 6 - 6 = 0 [km/h]

For the second question, we need to make a sketch of the canoe and we are watching this movement at a high elevation. So let's say that the canoe is located in point 0 where it is located one of the river's borders.

So we are having one movement to the right (x-direction). And the movement of the river to the south ( - y-direction).

Since the velocities are vector we can sum each vector, so using the Pythagoras theorem we have:

Vt = \sqrt{(6)^{2} +(-6)^{2} } \\Vt=8.48[km/h]
