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.
Answer:
Explanation:
If two forces act on an object in the same direction, the net force is equal to the sum of the two forces.
The red box must way more. Gravitational potential energy is the product of a an objects mass times the acceleration due to gravity (which is constant on earth) times its height. Since the objects are on the same shelf they are at the same height, and since gravitational acceleration is constant as long as we stay on planet earth, then the mass is the only possible thing that could have changed. This means that the red box must weigh more than the blue box.
Answer:
4 m/s
Explanation:
Momentum is defined as:
where
m is the mass of the object
v is its velocity
For the object in this problem, we know:
p = 200 kg m/s is the momentum
m = 50 kg is the mass
Solving for the velocity, we find:
Here's the tool you need. You can't answer the question without this:
"1 watt"
means
"1 joule of energy, generated, used, or moved, every second".
So 60 watts = 60 joules per second
Total energy generated,
used, or moved = (power) x (time).
580 joules = (60 watts) x (time)
Divide each side
by (60 watts): Time = (580 joules) / (60 joules/sec)
= (9 and 2/3) seconds .
