If you make multiple measurements of your height, you are likely to find that the results vary by nearly half an inch in either

direction due to measurement error and actual variations in height. You are slightly shorter in the evening, after gravity has compressed and reshaped your spine over the course of a day. One measurement of a man's height is 5 feet and 7 inches.

Answer:

Height h= 1.7 m

Explanation:

Supposing we have to find height in meter.

1 feet = 0.3048 m

1 inch = 0.0254 m

Given that:

5 feet

= 5×0.3048

= 1.524 m

and 7 inch = 7×0.0254= 0.1778 m

Therefore total height of a man in meter

5 feet 7 inch = 1.5424+0.1778 =1.7 m

Height h= 1.7 m

A student drops a ball from the top of a 10-meter tall building. The ball leaves the thrower's hand with a zero speed. What is t
Sergio [31]

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

u = 0, h = 10 m, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Use third equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g h

Here, v be the velocity of ball as it just strikes with the ground

v^2 = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 10

v^2 = 196

v = 14 m/s

A hockey puck is traveling to the left with a velocity of v=10 when it is struck by the hockey stick
Lera25 [3.4K]
We have to calculate the impulse of a hockey puck.
Imp = m * ( v 1 - v 2 ) = m * Δ v
v 1 = - 10 i m/s,
v 2 = ( 20 * cos 40° ) i + ( 20 * sin 40° ) j =
= ( 20 * 0.766 ) i + ( 20 * 0.64278 ) j = ( 15.32 i + 12.855 j ) m/s
Δ v = ( 15.32 i + 12.855 j ) - ( - 10 i ) =
= 15.32 i + 12.855 j + 10 i = 25.32 i + 12.855 j
| Δv | = √ ( 25.32² + 12.855²) = √806.35 = 28.4 m/s
Imp = 0.2 kg * 28.4 m/s = 5.68 N-s
Answer: D ) 5.68 N-s.

Calculate the pressure exerted on the floor by the boy standing on both feet if the weight of the boy is 40kg. Assume that the a
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

P = 1333.33 N

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by the boy on the floor can be calculated by the following equation:

P = \frac{F}{A}

where,

P = Pressure exerted by the boy = ?

F = Force Applied = Weight of Boy = 40 kg = 40 N (since 1 kg = 1N)

A = Area of application of force = 2(Area of one show) = 2(6 cm x 25 cm)

A = 2(0.06 m x 0.25 m) = 0.03 m²

Therefore,

P = \frac{40\ N}{0.03\ m^2}\\\\

<u>P = 1333.33 N</u>

An astronaut is taking a space walk near the shuttle when her safety tether breaks. what should the astronaut do to get back to
sergeinik [125]
The best way in handling in this situation is that in order for the astronaut to be able to get back to the shuttle is that he or she should take an object from his or her tool belt and to be thrown out away from the shuttle. This will allow her to weight lightly and safely return to the shuttle and would be easier for his or her to do so.
