After clearing the bar on a high jump, you land softly on a giant mattress. landing on a mattress is more comfortable than landi

ng on a sand heap of equal size because:_______
a. you transfer less momentum to the mattress in coming to a stop than you would have transferred to the sand heap.
b. the force the mattress exerts on you to stop your descend is much less than the force the sand heap would exert on you.
c. you transfer less energy to the mattress in coming to a stop than you would have transferred to the sand heap.
d. you transfer more momentum to the mattress in coming to a stop than you would have transferred to the sand heap.
e. your velocity is less as you land on the mattress than it would be if you landed on the sand heap.

Answer:

The right approach is Option b (the force..................exert on you).

Explanation:

  • Even before you fall on something like a soft object, users eventually slow to a halt. You are still giving away all the downward momentum, but progressively although with small powers, you are doing so.  
  • Although you can get injured by massive powers, this gradual displacement is a positive thing. And that is why you have a mattress you would like to settle on.  

The other options given are not connected to the situation described. So, the solution here was the right one.

Diagram B D c с Which car has: Ke = 100 PE=0? * 1 point A B C D​
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The car C has KE = 100, PE = 0

Explanation:

The principle of conservation of energy states that although energy can be transformed from one form to another, the total energy of the given system remains unchanged.

The energy that a body possesses due to its motion or position is known as mechanical energy. There are two kinds of mechanical energy: kinetic energy, KE and potential energy, PE.

Kinetic energy is the energy that a body possesses due to its motion.

Potential energy is the energy a body possesses due to its position.

From the principle of conservation of energy, kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy and vice versa, but in all cases the energy is conserved or constant.

In the diagram above, the cars at various positions of rest or motion are transforming the various forms of mechanical energy, but the total energy is conserved at every point. At the point A, energy is all potential, at B, it is partly potential partly kinetic energy, However, at the point C, all the potential energy has been converted to kinetic energy. At D, some of the kinetic energy has been converted to potential energy as the car climbs up the hill.

Therefore, the car C has KE = 100, PE = 0

An airplane flies with a constant speed of 800km/h. How far can it travel in 2 hours?
Nataly [62]
Because the airplane flies at 800 km/h, it will fly 800 km in 1 hour.  In order to find how far it travels in 2 hours, we multiply this number by 2.  800*2 = 1600, so the plane will travel 1600 km in 2 hours.
