A high-jumper, having just cleared the bar, lands on an air mattress and comes to rest. Had she landed directly on the hard grou

nd, her stopping time would have been much shorter. Using the impulse-momentum theorem as your guide, determine which one of the following statements is correct.a. the air mattress exerts the same impulse, but a greater net average force, on the high-jumper than does the hard ground
b. the air mattress exerts a greater impulse, and a greater net average force, on the high-jumper than does the hard ground
c. the air mattress exerts a smaller impulse, and a smaller net average force, on the high-jumper than does the hard ground
d. the air mattress exerts a greater impulse, but a smaller net average force, on the high-jumper than does the hard ground
e. the air mattress exerts the same impulse, but a smaller net avg force, on the hj than hg

Answer:

Explanation:

Impulse = Force x time = change in momentum

F x t = m ( v - u )

In both cases, u are same and v=0

So change in momentum is same

hence , impulse is same.

F = Change in momentum / time

In case of air mattress , time increases

Hence average force decreases .

Option e is correct .

When you ride a bicycle at constant speed, nearly all the energy you expend goes into the work you do against the drag force of
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Power output = 96.506 watts

Explanation:

Drag coefficient (Cd) = 0.9

V = 7.3 m/s

Air density (ρ) = 1.225 kg/m^(3)

Area (A) = 0.45 m^2

Let's find the drag force ;

Fd=(1/2)(Cd)(ρ)(A)(v^(2))

So Fd = (1/2)(0.9)(1.225)(0.45)(7.3^(2)) = 13.22N

Drag power = Drag Force x Drag velocity.

Thus drag power, = 13.22 x 7.3 = 96.506 watts
