Answer: Force:

Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration. But it can also be defined as the rate of change of momentum with respect to time. That is: F =dp/dt

Explanation:

Now as we land on the floor, we bend legs at knees. This is to slow the change in the momentum of the body with time, so we apply less force on the ground and in return ground applies less force on the legs. This makes landing smooth. While we catch the ball we move hand backward even after catching it for small-time, this makes catching easier we experience less force.

Answer:

when you bend your knees you extend the amount of time which will decrease the force. impulse and momentum are the same.

Explanation:

Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration. it is also defined as the rate of change of momentum with respect to time.

Now as we land on the floor, we bend legs at knees. This is to slow the change in the momentum of the body with time, so we apply less force on the ground and in return ground applies less force on the legs. This makes landing smooth.

What happens when charged object is brought near uncharged object?<br> Attract or Repel ?
Makovka662 [10]
When a charged object is brought near to but does not touch a neutral object, it causes the side of the neutral object that the charged object is near to become the other charge. It causes charge migration within the neutral object so the two charges (positive and negative) move to opposite sides of the object. Because the two objects do not touch, they do not repel each other, but rather have a slight attraction because of charge migration. If the two object were to touch then they would repel.

Four equal masses m are so small they can be treated as points, and they are equallyspaced along a long, stiff mass less wire. T
gavmur [86]

The moment of inertia of a point mass about an arbitrary point is given by:

I = mr²

I is the moment of inertia

m is the mass

r is the distance between the arbitrary point and the point mass

The center of mass of the system is located halfway between the 2 inner masses, therefore two masses lie ℓ/2 away from the center and the outer two masses lie 3ℓ/2 away from the center.

The total moment of inertia of the system is the sum of the moments of each mass, i.e.

I = ∑mr²

The moment of inertia of each of the two inner masses is

I = m(ℓ/2)² = mℓ²/4

The moment of inertia of each of the two outer masses is

I = m(3ℓ/2)² = 9mℓ²/4

The total moment of inertia of the system is

I = 2[mℓ²/4]+2[9mℓ²/4]

I = mℓ²/2+9mℓ²/2

I = 10mℓ²/2

I = 5mℓ²

suppose a vacuum cleaner use 120 j of electrical energy. If 45 j are used to pull air into the vacuum cleaner, how efficient is
Mice21 [21]
It depends on how much time 45 j will go, so if you told me that it went through 45 j per minute it will go through for 2 minutes so not efficient unless it went through 45 j per hour then it is efficient.
