A 100-kg athlete is performing a vertical leap to test his leg strength. He leaves the ground at 3.20 m/s, zooms upward to some

maximum altitude, and then returns to the ground. As he lands, he bends his legs and crouches down, so that he moves 30 cm downward as he comes to a stop. What average force did the athlete’s legs exert on the ground as he landed?

Answer:

2687.7 N

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

When he will reach the ground his speed will be 3.2 m/s but will travel 30 cm down

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-3.2^2}{2\times 0.3}\\\Rightarrow a=-17.067\ m/s^2$

Force

$F=m(g-a)\\\Rightarrow F=100\times (9.81-(-17.067))\\\Rightarrow F=2687.7\ N$

The force on the legs will be 2687.7 N

An archer puts a 0.30-kg arrow to the bowstring. An average force of 201 N is exerted to draw the string back 1.3 m. Assuming th

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

41.74 m/s

Explanation:

The energy used to draw the bowstring = the kinetic energy of the arrow.

Fd = 1/2mv²................................ Equation 1

Where F = force, d = distance move string, m = mass of the arrow, v = speed of the arrow.

make v the subject of the equation

v = √(2Fd/m)...................... Equation 2

Given: F = 201 N, m = 0.3 kg, d = 1.3 m.

Substitute into equation 2

v = √(2×201×1.3/0.3)

v = √(1742)

v = 41.74 m/s.

Hence the arrow leave the bow with a speed of 41.74 m/s

The radial acceleration is $a_c = 0.9574 m/s^2$

The horizontal Tension is $T_x = 0.3294 i \ N$

The vertical Tension is $T_y =3.3712 j \ N$

Explanation:

The diagram illustrating this is shown on the first uploaded

From the question we are told that

The length of the string is $L = 10.7 \ cm = 0.107 \ m$

The mass of the bob is $m = 0.344 \ kg$

The angle made by the string is $\theta = 5.58^o$

The centripetal force acting on the bob is mathematically represented as

$F = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Now From the diagram we see that this force is equivalent to

$F = Tsin \theta$ where T is the tension on the rope and v is the linear velocity

So

$Tsin \theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Now the downward normal force acting on the bob is mathematically represented as

$Tcos \theta = mg$

So

$\frac{Tsin \ttheta }{Tcos \theta } = \frac{\frac{mv^2}{r} }{mg}$

=> $tan \theta = \frac{v^2}{rg}$

=> $g tan \theta = \frac{v^2}{r}$

The centripetal acceleration which the same as the radial acceleration of the bob is mathematically represented as

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$

=> $a_c = gtan \theta$

substituting values

$a_c = 9.8 * tan (5.58)$

$a_c = 0.9574 m/s^2$

The horizontal component is mathematically represented as

$T_x = Tsin \theta = ma_c$

substituting value

$T_x = 0.344 * 0.9574$

$T_x = 0.3294 \ N$

The vertical component of tension is

$T_y = T \ cos \theta = mg$

substituting value

$T_ y = 0.344 * 9.8$

$T_ y = 3.2712 \ N$

The vector representation of the T in term is of the tension on the horizontal and the tension on the vertical is

$T = T_x i + T_y j$

substituting value

$T = [(0.3294) i + (3.3712)j ] \ N$
