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 water strider bug is supported on the surface of a pond by surface tension acting along the interface between the water and th
Alik [6]

Answer:

minimum interface length = 1.36 mm

Explanation:

given data

weight of the bug = 10^{-4} N

solution

we will apply here Surface Tension formula that is

Surface Tension ,σ = Force ÷ length      ........................1

and we consider here surface tension for water is 7.34 × 10^{-2} N/m

so that here minimum interface length needed to support the bug is

minimum interface length = Force ÷ σ

minimum interface length = 10^{-4}  ÷ 7.34 × 10^{-2}

minimum interface length = 1.36 mm

How can a wind turbine be used to make an electric circuit?
Radda [10]

Answer:

Wind turbines operate on a simple principle. The energy in the wind turns two or three propeller-like blades around a rotor. The rotor is connected to the main shaft, which spins a generator to create electricity.
