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

Sladkaya [172]
The main difference between the model of the atom proposed by Greek philosophers and the model proposed centuries later by Dalton is that the Greek one was mainly speculative and philosophical - it wasn't based on real evidence, but on their suggestions and thoughts about the matter. On the other hand, Dalton had the means to prove his theory using viable evidence, not just speculations.

Earth can be modeled with five layers based on the strengths and physical properties of the materials in them. Put the layers in
andre [41]

Answer:

Crust, Upper mantle, mantle, outer core, inner core

Explanation:

The Earth's layers have been clasified in 5 according to the materials that conform them, theri physical properties, strengths and also their state of matter. We all know how the outer layer of the Earth looks like, but if we start to dig a huge hole we are going to see different types por materials due to a change in pressure, temperature, and other factors. At the very center of the Earth there's what's called "core". The core is liquid and at extremely high temperatures. This is because of the enormous amount of pressure the rest of the Earth is putting it under. So, if we list the different layers of the Earth according to the materials they are made of, from the Earth's surface to the core, the answer is:

1) Crust (surface)

2) Upper Mantle

3) Mantle

4) Outer core

5) Inner core

In some books you may find a layer called Lithosphere. Tis layer consists not only of the crust, but also it contains the transition zone between the upper mantle and the crust.
