In the vertical jump, an athlete starts from crouch and jumps upward to reach as high as possible. Even the best athletes spend

little more than 1.00s in the air (thier "hang time"). Treat the athlete as a particle and let ymax be his maximum height above the floor. To explain why he seems to hang in the air, calculate the ratio of the time he is above ymax /2 to the time it takes him to go from the floor to that height. You may ignore air resistance.

A person of mass m is standing on the surface of the Earth, of mass M E . What is the acceleration that the Earth experiences du
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}

Explanation:

M_E = Mass of the Earth =  5.972 × 10²⁴ kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of Earth = 6371000 m

m = Mass of person

The force on the person will balance the gravitational force

M_Ea_E=\dfrac{GmM_E}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}

The acceleration that the Earth will feel is a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}

A force of 6.00 N acts in the positive direction on a 3.00 kg object, originally traveling at +15.0 m/s, for 10.0 s. (a) What is
frozen [14]

Answer:

60 kg m/s

Explanation:

Let a\;\; m/s^2 be the acceleration of the object.

As the acceleration of the object is constant, so

a=\frac {v-u}{t}\cdots(i)

Given that applied force, F=6.00 N,

From Newton's second law, we have

F= m\times a,

\Rightarrow F=\frac {m(v-u)}{t} [from equation (i)]

\Rightarrow Ft=m(v-u)

\Rightarrow Ft=mv-mu

\Rightarrow mv-mu=6\times 10 [given that time, t=10 s and F=6 N]

\Rightarrow mv-mu=60 kg \;m/s

Here mv is the final momentum of the object and mu is the initial momentum of the object.

So, the change in the momentum of the object is mv-mu.

Hence, the change in the momentum of the object is 60 kg m/s.

A coil of area 0.320 m2 is rotating at 100 rev/s with the axis of rotation perpendicular to a 0.430 T magnetic field. If the coi
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

The maximum  emf generated in the coil is 60527.49 V

Explanation:

Given;

area of coil, A = 0.320 m²

angular frequency, f = 100 rev/s

magnetic field, B = 0.43 T

number of turns, N = 700 turns

The maximum emf generated in the coil is calculated as,

E = NBAω

where;

ω is the angular speed = 2πf

E = NBA(2πf)

Substitute in the given values and solve for E

E = 700 x 0.43 x 0.32 x 2π x 100

E = 60527.49 V

Therefore, the maximum  emf generated in the coil is 60527.49 V
