Using the equation v(avg)=distance/time
and the equation v=v(original)+a(t)
solve for acceleration
2600=0+a(12)
a=216.66666 m/s^2
Then, you use the equation
v^2=v(original)+2a*(change in x)
2600^2=2(216.666666)*change in x
6760000/2/216.666666 = 15600 meters which is the length of the race
Then using v(avg)=x/t
15600/12= 1300 m/s
the Doppler effect. (I don't know how to explain it lol)
Answer:
The person with locked legs will experience greater impact force.
Explanation:
Let the two persons be of nearly equal mass (say m)
The final velocity of an object (person) dropped from a height H (here 2 meters) is given by,
(
= acceleration due to gravity)
which can be derived from Newton's equation of motion,

Now, the time taken (say
) for the momentum (
) to change to zero will be more in the case of the person who bends his legs on impact than who keeps his legs locked.
We know that,

Naturally, the person who bends his legs will experience lesser force since
is larger.
