Assume that when you stretch your torso vertically as much as you can, your center of mass is 1.0 m above the floor. The maximum

force you can exert on the floor in pushing off is 2.3 times the gravitational force Earth exerts on you
How low do you have to crouch in order to jump straight up and have your center of mass be 2.0 m above the floor? Determine the lowest height of your center of mass above the floor in the jump.?

Is this crouch practical?

1) 0.77 m

2) 0.23 m

Explanation:

1)

Here we want to find the time elapsed for crouching in order to jump and reach a height of 2.0 m above the floor, starting from 1.0 m above the floor.

First of all, we start by calculating the speed required to jump up to a height of 2.0 m. Since the total energy is conserved, the initial kinetic energy is converted into gravitational potential energy, so:

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh

where

m is the mass of the man

v is the speed after jumping

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h = 2.0 - 1.0 = 1.0 m is the change in height

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(1.0)}=4.43 m/s

In the acceleration phase, we know that the initial velocity is

u=0

And the force exerted on the floor is 2.3 times the gravitational force, so

F=2.3 mg

This means the net force on you is

F_{net} = F-mg=2.3mg-mg=1.3 mg

because we have to consider the force of gravity acting downward.

So the acceleration of the man is

a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}=\frac{1.3mg}{m}=1.3g

Now we can use the  following suvat equation to find the displacement in the acceleration phase, which is how low the man has to crouch in order to jump:

v^2-u^2=2as

where s is the quantity we want to find. Solving for s,

s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{4.43^2-0}{2(1.3g)}=0.77 m

2)

At the beginning, we are told that the height of the center of mass above the floor is

h = 1.0 m

During the acceleration phase and the crouch, the height of the center of mass of the body decreases by

\Delta h = -0.77 m

This means that the lowest point reached by the center of mass above the floor during the crouch is

h'=h+\Delta h = 1.0 - 0.77 = 0.23 m

This value seems unpractical, since it is not really easy to crouch until having the center of mass 0.23 m above the ground.

In an electricity demonstration at the Deutsches Museum in Munich, Germany, a person sits inside a metal sphere of radius 0.90 m
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

 E_interior = 0

Explanation:

As the sphere is metallic, the electrical charges are distributed on its surface, as far away as possible from each other.

If we apply Gauss's law, as the charge is on the surface, when drawing a spherical Gaussian surface, we see that there is no charge inside, therefore there is no electric field inside the metallic sphere.

          E_interior = 0

9. Using these words explain how matter and energy interact when waves are generated. Disturbance ______________________________
ohaa [14]

Answer:

A wave is a disturbance of the space (or of a medium), that carries energy without transmitting matter.

A wave is produced when there is a periodic vibration in the particles of a medium (mechanical wave), or when there is a periodic oscillation of the electric and magnetic fields (electromagnetic waves). Electromagnetic waves are the only ones that can travel through a vacuum.

Mechanical waves are further classified into two types, depending on how the particles in the medium vibrate:

- If they vibrate up and down (perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave), they are called transverse waves

- If they vibrate back and forth (parallel to the direction of motion of the wave), they are called longitudinal waves

In general, waves are generated from a precise point in the space, which is called source of the wave. The source of the wave does work, since it is responsible for starting the motion of the particle, and make them starting vibrating, so it transmits energy to the particles.

I need ideas of what kind of simple motor i can build and how i can build it. The simple motor MUST spin without using your own
Alborosie

See for yourself how the forces of electricity and magnetism can work together by building a simple DC electric motor using simple materials you can find in any hardware store!

Electricity and magnetism are both forces caused by the movement of tiny charged particles that make up atoms, the building blocks of all matter. When a wire is hooked up to a battery, current flows through the wire because negatively charged electrons flow from the negative terminal of the battery toward the positive terminal of the battery because opposite charges attract each other, while similar charges repel each other. This flow of electrons through the wire is an electric current, and it produces a magnetic field.

In a magnet, atoms are lined up so that the negatively charged electrons are all spinning in the same direction. Like an electric current, the movement of the electrons creates a magnetic force. The area around the magnet where the force is active is called a magnetic field. Metal objects and other magnets that enter this field will be pulled toward the magnet.

The way the atoms are lined up creates two different poles in the magnet, a north pole and a south pole. As with electrical charges, opposite poles attract each other, while like poles repel each other.

Learn about electromagnetism and its many uses here.

Now let's watch it work as we build a motor.

What product is obtained from the aldol condensation of cyclohexanone?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

First product is FCH-OH chemically known as 2-[2-furyl(hydroxyl)methyl]-Second product is  FCH i.e (2E)-2-[2-furyl-methylene]-cyclohexanone

Explanation:

Please see the attached image for complete chemical reaction of aldol condensation of cyclohexanone

Aldol Condensation is a form of electrophilic substitution reaction in which the alpha carbon in enols or enolate anions is substituted by an electrophile to form carbon-carbon bond. Cyclohexanone also known as the first ketone consists of two alpha-carbons and four potential substitutions i.e alpha-hydrogens but none of the hydrogen on the ring is substituted. Ketones such as cyclohexanone are much more acidic than their parent hydrocarbon.

First product is FCH-OH chemically known as 2-[2-furyl(hydroxyl)methyl]-cyclohexanone  that further undergoes dehydration resulting into FCH i.e (2E)-2-[2-furyl-methylene]-cyclohexanone

Based on the explanations above, the compound formed is shown in the image.

Would the springs inside a bathroom scale be more compressed or less compressed if you weighed yourself in an elevator that was
Ber [7]
More compressed. moving up = apparent weight (i.e., your norma force) is greater. this means you’ll weighr more and push those springs down even more than you would at rest.
