Answer:

He could jump 2.6 meters high.

Explanation:

Jumping a height of 1.3m requires a certain initial velocity v_0. It turns out that this scenario can be turned into an equivalent: if a person is dropped from a height of 1.3m in free fall, his velocity right before landing on the ground will be v_0. To answer this equivalent question, we use the kinematic equation:

v_0 = \sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2\cdot 9.8\frac{m}{s^2}\cdot 1.3m}=5.0\frac{m}{s}

With this result, we turn back to the original question on Earth: the person needs an initial velocity of 5 m/s to jump 1.3m high, on the Earth.

Now let's go to the other planet. It's smaller, half the radius, and its meadows are distinctly greener. Since its density is the same as one of the Earth, only its radius is half, we can argue that the gravitational acceleration g will be <em>half</em> of that of the Earth (you can verify this is true by writing down the Newton's formula for gravity, use volume of the sphere times density instead of the mass of the Earth, then see what happens to g when halving the radius). So, the question now becomes: from which height should the person be dropped in free fall so that his landing speed is 5 m/s ? Again, the kinematic equation comes in handy:

v_0^2 = 2g_{1/2}h\implies \\h = \frac{v_0^2}{2g_{1/2}}=\frac{25\frac{m^2}{s^2}}{2\cdot 4.9\frac{m}{s^2}}=2.6m

This results tells you, that on the planet X, which just half the radius of the Earth, a person will jump up to the height of 2.6 meters with same effort as on the Earth. This is exactly twice the height he jumps on Earth. It now all makes sense.

Earth's gravitational force just got three times stronger! What happens to your weight?
kicyunya [14]

Your "weight" is the name you give to that gravitational force.
So your question actually says:

           "Your weight just got three times stronger !
             What happens to your weight ?"

A cube of plastic 1.2x10^-5 km on a side has a mas of 1.1 g. what is its density in g/cm^3?
Mamont248 [21]
Density = mass / volume

mass = 1.1 g

volume = length of side ^ 3 = [1.2 * 10^-5 km * 100000 cm/km]^3 = [1.2 cm]^3 = 1.728 cm^3

density = 1.1 g / 1.728 cm^3 = 0.64 g / cm^3

Infer​ the effect of deforestation on the carrying capacity of the Amazon rainforest.
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

More than 20% of the amazon has been destroyed, affects biodiversity.

Explanation:

  • The biggest issues that the amazon is facing is the deforestation and it involves the clearing of land areas for logging, farming, and other land-use changes.
  • Effects that are seen are droughts, floods, destruction of habitats of flora and fauna along with the valuable services of the ecosystem.
  • This leads to a decrease in the carrying capacity of the species and the decline of the essential resources that are necessary to survive.

When visiting some countries, you may see a person balancing a load on the head. Explain why the center of mass of the load need
Vinvika [58]

Explanation:

If the center of the load is directly above the vertebrae, there is no torque in the system. This is a good thing so that the vertebrae are not put out of alignment over time. (Of course, this still doesn't prevent compression of the vertebrae over time, which is a possibility.)
