Answer:

Momentum is equal to mass for velocity (p1=mv)

But momentum is also equal to Force for time of impact (p1=Ft). Hence the impact force is inversely proportional to the fall time and directly proportional to the mass and fall velocity : F=mv/t^2 or F=p1/t

If he slows down, v diminishes and F diminishes

Hence correct Answer is C

An olympic sprinter can go from a state of rest to 11 meters per second in 10 seconds. What is the sprinter's average accelerati
Phoenix [80]

Answer:  Sprinter's average acceleration =  1.1\frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

The formula for the average acceleration is given as follows:

\overline{a} = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t} --- (A)

Where,

v_f = Final velocity = 11\frac{m}{s}

v_i = Initial velocity = 0\frac{m}{s}

\Delta t = Elapsed time = 10 seconds

Plug the values in equation (A):

\overline{a} = \frac{11 - 0}{10} = 1.1\frac{m}{s^2}


Therefore, the sprinter's average acceleration is 1.1\frac{m}{s^2}.

What causes the different season on earth
viktelen [127]

The Short Answer: Earth’s tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun’s most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it’s summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it’s winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

A toy cart moves with a kinetic energy of 30 J. If its speed is doubled, what is its kinetic energy?
klio [65]

Explanation:

KE is directly proportional to the square of velocity / speed.

if speed is 2 times (doubled) the KE will be

{2}^{2}

= 4 times the original KE

4 \times (30)

= 120 \: j

A 80 kg bungee jumper is on a bridge that is 100 meters above a river. Attached to the jumper is a bungee cord that is 50 meters
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

a) 70,560 J

b) 88.2 N/m

Explanation:

The spring potential will equal the change in gravity potential

PS = PE = mgh = 80(9.8)(100 - 10) = 70,560 J

PS = ½kx²

k = 2PS/x² = 2(70560)/(100 - 50 - 10)² = 88.2 N/m
