Very large forces are produced in joints when a person jumps from some height to the ground. Calculate the force produced if an

79.0–kg person jumps from a 0.510–m-high ledge and lands stiffly, compressing joint material 1.30 cm as a result. (Be certain to include the weight of the person.) 3.04*10^4J Incorrect. Tries 1/7 Previous Tries In practice the knees bend almost involuntarily to help extend the distance over which you stop. Calculate the force produced if the stopping distance is 0.345 m. 1.92×103 J You are correct. Find the ratio of the force in part (a) with the weight of the person. Tries 0/7 Find the ratio of the force in part (b) with the weight of the person.

Answer:

A) 31 kJ

B)  1.92 KJ

C) 40 ,  2.48

Explanation:

weight of person ( m ) = 79 kg

height of jump ( h ) = 0.510 m

Compression of joint material ( d ) = 1.30 cm ≈  0.013 m

A) calculate the force

Fd = mgh

F = mgh / d

W = mg

F(net) = W + F  = mg ( 1 + \frac{h}{d} )

          =  79 * 9.81 ( 1 + (0.51 / 0.013) )

          = 774.99 ( 40.231 ) ≈ 31 KJ

B) calculate the force when the stopping distance = 0.345 m

d = 0.345 m

Fd = mgh  hence  F = mgh / d

F(net) = W + F  = mg ( 1 + \frac{h}{d} )

          =  79 * 9.81 ( 1 + (0.51 / 0.345) )

          = 774.99 ( 2.478 ) = 1.92 KJ

C) Ratio of force in part a with weight of person

=  31000 / ( 79 * 9.81 ) = 31000 / 774.99 = 40

  Ratio of force in part b with weight of person

= 1920 / 774.99 = 2.48

If two conductors are not touching but are close to each other, a large enough voltage will cause an _________________ to occur
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Electrical breakdown.

Explanation:

When two conductors are relatively close enough, and have a very large voltage between them, it can lead to a Dielectric breakdown. A dielectric breakdown occurs when an insulator is subjected to a high enough voltage, suddenly becomes an electrical conductor and electric current flows through it. The air between the conductors is the insulator that breaks down, leading to an electrical discharge arc to flow between the two conductors. This electrical breakdown can cause catastrophic failure of electrical equipment, and fire hazards.

Stars of spectral type A and F are considered ________.
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

<u>B. the stars of spectral type A and F are considered reasonably to have habitable planets but much less likely to have planets with complex plant - or animal - like life.</u>

Explanation:

The appropriate spectral range for habitable stars is considered to be "late F" or "G", to "mid-K" or even late "A". <em>This corresponds to temperatures of a little more than 7,000 K down to a little less than 4,000 K</em> (6,700 °C to 3,700 °C); the Sun, a G2 star at 5,777 K, is well within these bounds. "Middle-class" stars (late A, late F, G , mid K )of this sort have a number of characteristics considered important to planetary habitability:

• They live at least a few billion years, allowing life a chance to evolve. <em>More luminous main-sequence stars of the "O", "B", and "A" classes usually live less than a billion years and in exceptional cases less than 10 million.</em>

• They emit enough high-frequency ultraviolet radiation to trigger important atmospheric dynamics such as ozone formation, but not so much that ionisation destroys incipient life.

• They emit sufficient radiation at wavelengths conducive to photosynthesis.

• Liquid water may exist on the surface of planets orbiting them at a distance that does not induce tidal locking.

<u><em>Thus , the stars of spectral type A and F are considered reasonably to have habitable planets but much less likely to have planets with complex plant - or animak - like life.</em></u>

A convex security mirror has a radius of curvature of 12.0 cm. What is the magnification of a pare 3.0 m from the mirror?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

magnification will be -0.025

Explanation:

We have given the radius of curvature = 12 cm

And object distance = 3 m

So focal length f=\frac{R}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6cm

Now for mirror we know that \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}

So \frac{1}{0.06}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{v}

16.66-0.333=\frac{1}{v}

v = 0.750 m

Now magnification of the mirror is m=\frac{-v}{u}=\frac{-0.750}{3}=-0.025
