While playing basketball in PE class, Logan lost his balance after making a lay-up and colliding with the padded wall behind the

basket. His 74-kg body decelerated from 7.6 m/s to 0 m/s in 0.16 seconds.
a. Determine the force acting upon Logan's body.
b. If Logan had hit the concrete wall moving at the same speed, his momentum would have been reduced to zero in 0.0080 seconds. Determine what the force on his body would have been for such an abrupt collision.

Answer:

a.) F = 3515 N

b.) F = 140600 N

Explanation: given that the

Mass M = 74kg

Initial velocity U = 7.6 m/s

Time t = 0.16 s

Force F = change in momentum ÷ time

F = (74×7.6)/0.16

F = 3515 N

b.) If Logan had hit the concrete wall moving at the same speed, his momentum would have been reduced to zero in 0.0080 seconds

Change in momentum = 74×7.6 + 74×7.6

Change in momentum = 562.4 + 562.4 = 1124.8 kgm/s

F = 1124.8/0.0080 = 140600 N

The operating potential difference of a light bulb is 120 V. The power rating of the bulb is 70 W. (a) Find the current in the b
3241004551 [841]

Answer: I= 0.583A

R=205.83ohms

Explanation: Power= I*V

Where I= current and V = potential difference

I=P/V

I= 70/120

I=0.583A

To find resistance

Using ohms law

V= IR

R=V/I

R= 120/0.583

R= 205.83ohms
