Because of tectonics plates and the top aka surface of the earth is where the pressure is released and the reactions occur for example the roads splitting... this is just how i would answer it.

A football is thrown horizontally with an initial velocity of (16.6 m/s)x^. ignoring air resistance, the average acceleration of
Andrei [34K]

Solution:

According to the equations for 1-D kinematics. The only change to them is that instead one equation that describes general motion.

So we will have to use the equations twice: once for motion in the x direction and another time for the y direction.  

v_f=v_o + at ……..(a)

 [where v_f and v_o are final velocity and initial velocity, respectively]

Now ,

Initially, there was y velocity, however gravity began to act on the football, causing it to accelerate.  

Applying this value in equation (a)  

v_yf = at = -9.81 m/s^s * 1.75 = -17.165 m/s in the y direction  

For calculating the magnitude of the equation we have to square root the given value

         (16.6i - 17.165y)  

\\ \left | V  \right |=sqrt{16.6^{2}+17.165^{2}}\\ = \sqrt{275.56+294.637225}\\= \sqrt{570.197225}\\= 23.87[/tex]

A snake slithered across the sidewalk in between two sign posts. At the first sign post his speed was
masha68 [24]

This is an example of Uniform Speed

EXPLANATION

Uniform Speed => no change in speed

Uniform Accelerations Speed => There is a change in speed, but the acceleration remains the same.

A person doing chin-up weighs 700.0 N, disregarding the weight of the arms. During the first 25.0 cm of the lift, each arm exert
dlinn [17]
First, we will get the resultant force:
The direction of the force due to the person's weight is vertically down.
weight of person = 700 newton

Assume that the force exerted by the arms has a vertically upwards direction.
Force exerted by arms = 2*355 = 710 newtons

Therefore, the resultant force = 710 - 700 = 10 newtons (in the vertically upwards direction) 

Now, we will get the mass of the person.
weight = 700 newtons
weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity
700 = 9.8*mass
mass = 71.428 kg

Then we will calculate the acceleration of the resultant force:
Force = mass*acceleration
10 = 71.428*acceleration
acceleration = 0.14 m/sec^2

Finally, we will use the equation of motion to get the final speed of the person.
V^2 = U^2 + 2aS where:
V is the final velocity that we need to calculate
U is the initial velocity = 0 m/sec (person starts at rest)
a is the person's acceleration = 0.14 m/sec^2
S is the distance covered = 25 cm = 0.25 meters

Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the final speed as follows:
V^2 = U^2 + 2aS
V^2 = (0)^2 + 2(0.14)(0.25)
V^2 = 0.07
V = 0.2645 m/sec

Based on the above calculations:
The person's speed at the given point is 0.2645 m/sec

A stunt man jumps from the top of a building and lands 10 meters below his initial height. In case A, the stunt man lands on a s
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The stunt will likely sustain serious injury in case of concrete blocks because the average force acting on the person will be more because concrete blocks do not squeeze to provide more time for the force to act on the body instead it acts for a small amount of interval.

Impulse=F_{avg}\times \Delta T

As impulse is constant so time requires to act force on the body is more as compared to concrete block and thus average force in mattress case is less.
