Answer:

294 N

Explanation:

The weight of an object is the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the object.

The direction of this force is always towards the Earth's centre, while the magnitude is given by:

$W=mg$

where

W is the weight

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Here we have:

m = 30 kg is the mass of the object

g = 9.8 N/kg is the acceleration due to gravity

So, the weight of the object is

$W=(30)(9.8)=294 N$

A high jumper jumps over a bar that is 2 m above the mat. With what velocity does the jumper strike the mat in the landing area?

docker41 [41]

Answer:

The velocity with which the jumper strike the mat in the landing area is 6.26 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

A high jumper jumps over a bar that is 2 m above the mat, h = 2 m

We need to find the velocity with which the jumper strike the mat in the landing area. It is a case of conservation of energy. let v is the velocity. it is given by :

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

g is acceleration due to gravity

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\ m/s^2\times 2\ m}$

v = 6.26 m/s

So, the velocity with which the jumper strike the mat in the landing area is 6.26 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

The proper time would be the time measured in the rest frame of the event, so in this case the observer on mars would measure the proper time.
