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 .

An object of 4 kg has a speed of 6 m/s and moves a distance of 8 m. What is its kinetic energy in joules.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Ke = 72 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy depends on the speed of and object and its mass.

Data

mass = m = 4 kg

speed = v = 6 m/s

distance = d =  8 m

Kinetic energy = ke = ?

Formula

Ke = (1/2) mv²

Substitution

Ke = (1/2) (4)(6)²

Simplification

Ke = (1/2)(4)(36)

Ke = (1/2)(144)

Ke = 72 Joules

Result

Ke = 72 J

A rock dropped from a 20 meter bridge falls into the river below. How long did it take to reach the water? What velocity did it
Brut [27]

Answer:

2 s, -20 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

y₀ = 20 m

y = 0 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: t and v

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 = 20 + 0 + ½ (-9.8) t²

0 = 20 − 4.9 t²

t ≈ 2 s

v² = v₀² + 2a(y − y₀)

v² = 0 + 2(-9.8)(0 − 20)

v ≈ ±20 m/s

Since the rock is falling, v = -20 m/s.
