The man on the ground in standing position has more pressure. This is because when he stands, only his legs are in contact with the ground. While lying, his body is more in contact with the ground, therefore, he exerts less pressure.

To the point, a man standing position on the ground had more pressure.

More is the area of contact, less is the pressure efforted.

Thank you...

A projectile is launched diagonally into the air and has a hang time of 24.5 seconds. Approximately how much time is required fo

Rasek [7]

Answer:

$t=12.25\ seconds$

Explanation:

Diagonal Launch

It's referred to as a situation where an object is thrown in free air forming an angle with the horizontal. The object then describes a known path called a parabola, where there are x and y components of the speed, displacement, and acceleration.

The object will eventually reach its maximum height (apex) and then it will return to the height from which it was launched. The equation for the height at any time t is

$x=v_ocos\theta t$

$\displaystyle y=y_o+v_osin\theta \ t-\frac{gt^2}{2}$

Where vo is the magnitude of the initial velocity, $\theta$ is the angle, t is the time and g is the acceleration of gravity

The maximum height the object can reach can be computed as

$\displaystyle t=\frac{v_osin\theta}{g}$

There are two times where the value of y is $y_o$ when t=0 (at launching time) and when it goes back to the same level. We need to find that time t by making $y=y_o$
