Answer:

Bent knees

Explanation:

Depending the height your jumping from, if you were jumping from a high structure it's best if you jump and land on knees so you dont sprang your ankles from jumping and landing on your straight legs, you could even pull a muscle if you land on straight legs.

Darya [45]
According to newton's third law of motion, when a hammer strikes and exerts force to push it into a piece of wood, the nail <span>C. exerts an equal or opposite force on the hammer. The third law of motion states that every action has an equal BUT opposite reaction. This means that the nail exerts the same force the hammer exerts on it.</span>

lesya692 [45]

Answer:252 miles

Explanation:

Given

During his way to mountain it took 7 hr to drive

and during his return trip it took 4 hr to return

Let x be the distance between home and mountain

average speed for return is  27 miles per hour faster than his former trip

let v be the speed on his way to mountain thus v+27 is his return speed

thus 7=\frac{x}{v}----1

for return trip

4=\frac{x}{v+27}-----2

divide  1 & 2

\frac{7}{4}=\frac{x\cdot (v+27)}{v\cdot x}

7v=4v+4\cdot 27

3v=4\cdot 27

v=36 mph

thus x=7\times 36=252\ miles

A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged plane parallel plates. A proton is released from re
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

a) 17.33 V/m

b) 6308 m/s

Explanation:

We start by using equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2at², where

s = 1.2 cm = 0.012 m

u = 0 m/s

t = 3.8*10^-6 s, so that

0.012 = 0 * 3.8*10^-6 + 0.5 * a * (3.8*10^-6)²

0.012 = 0.5 * a * 1.444*10^-11

a = 0.012 / 7.22*10^-12

a = 1.66*10^9 m/s²

If we assume the electric field to be E, and we know that F =qE. Also, from Newton's law, we have F = ma. So that, ma = qE, and E = ma/q, where

E = electric field

m = mass of proton

a = acceleration

q = charge of proton

E = (1.67*10^-27 * 1.66*10^9) / 1.6*10^-19

E = 2.77*10^-18 / 1.6*10^-19

E = 17.33 V/m

Final speed of the proton can be gotten by using

v = u + at

v = 0 + 1.66*10^9 * 3.8*10^-6

v = 6308 m/s
