The worlds fastest humans can reach speeds of about 11 m/s in order to increase his gravitational potential energy by an amount

equal to his Kinetic energy at full speed how high with the sprinter need to climb

What a delightful little problem !

-- When he is running on level ground, his kinetic energy is

             KE = (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)² .

-- When he climbs up from the ground, his potential energy is

             PE = (mass) x (gravity) x (height above the ground).

We're looking for the height that makes these quantities of energy equal,
figuring that when he runs, his speed is  11 m/s.

The first time I looked at this, I thought we would need to know the runner's
mass.  But it turns out that we don't.

       <u>PE = KE</u>

      (mass) x (gravity) x (height) = (1/2) (mass) (11 m/s)²

Divide each side by (mass) : 

       (gravity) x (Height)  =  (1/2) (11 m/s)²

Divide each side by gravity:

                      Height = (1/2) (121 m²/s²) / (9.8 m/s²)

                                =  <em>6.173 meters</em>

                         (about  20.3 feet !)

Find the mass of a body if the acceleration the body used to move is given as 5 m/s-2 and the force of the body is 30N take g=10
Aleonysh [2.5K]

The mass of a body if the acceleration the body used to move is given as 5 m/s-2 will be 3 kg.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is defined as the push or pulls applied to the body. Sometimes it is used to change the shape, size, and direction of the body.

Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration. Its unit is Newton.

Given data;

Force,F = 30 N

Mass,m =  kg

Acceleration,a = 5 m/s²

The force is found as;

F=ma

30 N =m kg × 5 m/s²

m=3 kg

Hence the mass of a body will be 3 kg.

To learn more about the force refer to the link;

A student claims "everything falls at the same acceleration rate on the Moon, where there is no air or friction," how would you
Alexeev081 [22]

Now let’s say you’re on the Moon. If you were to drop a hammer and a feather from the same height, which would hit the ground first?

Trick Question! On the moon both objects would hit the ground at the same time. On Earth, the hammer lands first.

So yeah, the student is right. Galileo gave us this theory long ago.

A wave with a wavelength of 125 meters is moving at a speed of 20 m/s. What is it’s frequency
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

0.16Hz

Explanation:

wavelength (λ) = 125 meters

speed (V) = 20 m/s

frequency (F) = ?

Recall that frequency is the number of cycles the wave complete in one

second. And its value depends on the wavelength and speed of the wave.

So, apply the formula V = F λ

Make F the subject formula

F = V / λ

F = 20 m/s / 125 meters

F = 0.16 Hz

Individuals who suffer from a mental disorder are most likely to commit violent crimes. true or false
Damm [24]
That is true. Some people with mental disorders envision the world differently. Some people think that people are out to get them, they are in another world, etc. They will do anything to feel safe in their mental state.

I hope this helps!
