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.

Alex787 [66]
The direction of the force experienced by the positive charge is upward.

We can use the right-hand rule to understand the direction of the Lorentz force acting on the charge: let's put the thumb in the same direction of the current in the wire (eastward), while the other fingers "wrap themselves" around the wire. These other fingers give the direction of the Lorentz force in every point of the space around the wire. Since the charge is located north of the wire, in that point the fingers are directed upward, so the positive charge experiences a force directed upward.
(if it was a negative charge, we should have taken the opposite direction)

Describe the acceleration of your bicycle as you ride it from your home to the store
erik [133]
<span>While you're going to the store, your acceleration changes. Some times it increases your overall speed sometimes it reduces it. Constant acceleration does not occur because it would mean that you would constantly accelerate and eventually go past the store. Even reduction of speed is a type of acceleration in physics. When you reach it, we can then calculate how much your velocity was on average and analyze how changing acceleration would've affected it.</span>
