PART a)

By energy conservation we can say

PE_i + KE_i = PE_f + KE_f

mgh_1 + \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 = mgh_2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2

divide whole equation by mass "m" and plug in all given data

9.8(1.24) + \frac{1]{2}(1.7)^2  = 9.8(0) + \frac{1}{2}(v)^2

v_f = 5.21 m/s

so gymnast will reach the floor with speed 5.21 m/s

PART b)

Now the gymnast bend her knees by 0.1 m and comes to rest

so here we will have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 5.21^2 = 2(a)(0.1)

a = 135.97 m/s^2

now the force on the gymnast will be

F = ma

F = 50 \times 135.97 = 6798.5 N

so during landing the force will be 6798.5 N

A bat hits a moving baseball. If the bat delivers a net eastward impulse of 1.3 N-s and the ball starts with an initial horizont
Georgia [21]

Answer:

141.30grams

Explanation:

First, denote our known values;

J=1.3N-s(+,east)\\u=-3.8ms^-^1(-,west)\\v=5.4ms^-^1(+,east)\\m=?

Mass is impulse divided by change in velocity:

m=\frac{J}{v-u}\\=\frac{1.3}{5.4--3.8}\\\\=\frac{1.3}{9.2}\\=0.1413Kgs

Hence, the mass of the ball is 141.30grams

a crate is being lifted into a truck. if it is moved with a 2470n force and 3650 j of work is done , then how far is the crate b
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The crate was being lifted by a height of 1.48 meters.

Explanation:

In an attempt o move a crate;

Force applied = 2470 N

Work done by the force = 3650 J

We know that the work done is defined as the force used to move an object to a distance.

Given the Force used and the work done by that Force, we need to find out the distance the crate was lifted to.

Work done is defined as:

Work = Force*distance covered in the direction of the force

3650 = 2470*distance

distance = 3650/2470

distance = 1.48 meters
