If he is jumping you are adding force which means that you will be falling twice as fast

A 400.0 kg storage box is held 10 m above ground by a forklift. What is its gravitational potential energy? (PE = mgh)
castortr0y [4]

Answer: D.) 39,200 J

Via the equation of potential energy PE = mgh where m is mass, g is the average gravity on earth and h is the height.  In this case m = 400 kg, g = 9.8, h = 10 m thus:

P.E.=(400kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2} )(10m)=39,200 J

P.E.= 39,200 Joules

How can you justify that force is transferred to lift and throw soil using shovel?<br>​
Natali [406]

Forces are needed to lift, turn, move, open, close, push, pull, and so on. When you throw a ball, you are using force to make the ball move through the air. More than one force can act on an object at the same time.

While playing baseball with your friends your hands begin to sting after you ctach several fast balls.
muminat

Answer:

Explanation:

To stop a ball with high momentum in a small-time imparts a high amount of impact on hands. This is the reason for the stinging of hands.

The momentum of the ball is due to the mass and velocity. To prevent stinging in the hand one needs to lower his hands to increase the time of contact. In this way, the momentum transfer to the hands will be lesser.

Two states of matter are described below. State A: Cannot be compressed and retains its shape State B: Highly compressible Which
telo118 [61]

Answer:

State A = piece of metal; State B = air

Explanation:

For the three main states of matter here's how it breaks down.

Solid - Cannot be compressed and retains its shape

Liquid - Cannot be compressed and does not retain its shape

Gas - Compressible and does not retain its shape.

Knowing this State A has to be solid.  Only one of the options has A as a solid, so that's the answer.   Worth knowing state B is a gas though, only one compressible, just like solid is the only one that retains its shape.
