Supposing the runner is condensed to a point and moves upward at 2.2 m/s.
It takes a time = 2.2/g = 2.2/9.8 = 0.22 seconds to increase to max height. 
Now looking at this condition in opposite - that is the runner is at max height and drops back to earth in 0.22 s (symmetry of this kind of motion). 
From what height does any object take 0.22 s to fall to earth (supposing there is no air friction)? 
d = 1/2gt²= (0.5)(9.8)(0.22)²= 0.24 m

A 0.810 kg ball falls 2.5m. How much work does the force of gravity do on the ball?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

W = 19.845 J

Explanation:

Work is defined as W = Fdcos\theta, where F is the force exerted and d is the distance. Because the direction the ball is falling is the same direction as the force itself, \theta = 0 deg, and since cos(0) = 1, this equation is equivalent to W = Fd. In this case, the force exerted is the weight force, which is equivalent to m * g. Substituting you get:

W = mgd = 0.810 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 2.5m

W = 19.845 J

John’s mass is 95.6 kg, and Barbara’s is 55.3 kg. He is standing on the x axis at xJ = +10.9 m, while she is standing on the x a
Anna11 [10]

Answer:Shifted towards Left by distance of 2.243 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of john m_1=95.6 kg

Mass of barbara m_2=55.3 kg

John is standing at x=10.9 m

Barbara is standing at x=2.50 m

x_{com}=\frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m_1+m_2}

x_{com}=\frac{95.6\times 10.9+55.3\times 2.5}{95.6+55.3}

x_{com}=\frac{1180.29}{150.9}

x_{com}=7.821 m

Now if they change their Position then

x'_{com}=\frac{95.6\times 2.5+55.3\times 10.9}{95.6+55.3}

x'_{com}=\frac{841.77}{150.9}

x'_{com}=5.578

Thus we can see that center of mass shifted towards left by a distance of 2.243 m because heavier is shifted towards left

How does air resistance affect how fast a feather falls?
Korvikt [17]

Answer: Ain't its because how light the feather is ? It's not as heavy.

Explanation: With air resistance, acceleration throughout a fall gets less than gravity (g) because air resistance affects the movement of the falling object by slowing it down. ... Usually, resistance is not very high at low speed or for small or sharp objects (Google Source if needed to prove yours answer)

A person is standing on and facing the front of a stationary skateboard while holding a construction brick. The mass of the pers
Inessa [10]

Answer:

    v₁ = -0.8087 m / s

Explanation:

To solve this problem we can use the conservation of momentum, for this we define a system formed by the man, the skateboard and the brick, therefore the force during the separation is internal and the momentum is conserved

Initial instant. When they are united

        p₀ = 0

Final moment. After throwing the brick

        p_{f} = (m_man + m_skate) v1 + m_brick v2

the moment is preserved

        p₀ = p_{f}

        0 = (m_man + m_skate) v₁ + m_brick v₂

        v₁ = -  \frac{ m_{brick}   }{m_{man} + m_{skate}   }  v_{2}

the negative sign indicates that the two speeds are in the opposite direction

let's calculate

        v₁ = - \frac{2.5}{67 + 4.10}  23.0

        v₁ = -0.8087 m / s
