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

The ball has 7.35 joules of potential energy at position B. At position A, all of the energy changes to kinetic energy. The velo
Lina20 [59]
I assume that the ball is stationary (v=0) at point B, so its total energy is just potential energy, and it is equal to 7.35 J. 
At point A, all this energy has converted into kinetic energy, which is:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
And since K=7.35 J, we can find the velocity, v:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 7.35 J}{1.5 kg} }=3.1 m/s

"4.What determines how many figures are significant in reported measurement values? What
MAXImum [283]

As the number of significant figures increases, the more accurate or precise the measurement is.

<h3>What is significant figure?</h3>

The term significant figures refers to the number of important single digits in the coefficient of an expression in scientific notation.

Significant figures are the digits in a value that are known with some degree of confidence.

The effect of reporting more or fewer figures or digits than are significant;

As the number of significant figures increases, the more accurate or precise the measurement is.

As precision of a measurement increases, so does the number of significant figures.

What is the acceleration of a car that goes from 0 to 20m/s in 7 seconds?
nadezda [96]

Answer:

2m/s^2

Explanation:

Clculate the acceleration:

V = u +at

20m/s = 0 + a*10s

a = 20m//10s

a = 2m/s²

From the data given , it is not possible to calculate the displacement , because no direction of motion is given

But it is possible to calculate the distance travelled

Distance = ut + ½ *a*t²

distance = 0 + ½ * 2m/s * 10²s

distance = 100m
