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

A 74 kg firefighter slides, from rest, 4.9 m down a vertical pole. (a) If the firefighter holds onto the pole lightly, so that t
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Her speed is 9.8 meter per second

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that acceleration (a) is related with force (F) by:

\sum\overrightarrow{F}=m\overrightarrow{a} (1)

Here the only force acting on the firefighter is the weight F=mg so (1) is:

mg=ma

Solving for a:

a=g

Now with the acceleration we can use the Galileo's kinematic equation:

Vf^{2}=Vo^{2}+2a\varDelta x (2)

With Vf the final velocity, Vo the initial velocity and Δx the displacement, because the firefighter stars from rest Vo=0 so (2) is:

Vf^{2}=2a\varDelta x

Solving for Vf

Vf=\sqrt{2g\varDelta x}=\sqrt{2(9.81)(4.9)}

Vf=9.8\frac{m}{s}

A woman throws a javelin 35 mph at an angle 30 degrees from the ground. Neglecting wind resistance or the height the javelin thr
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

35 mph

Explanation:

The key of this problem lies in understanding the way that projectile motion works as we are told to neglect the height of the javelin thrower and wind resistance.

When the javelin is thown, its velocity will have two components: a x component and a y component. The only acceleration that will interact with the javelin after it was thown will be the gravety, which has a -y direction. This means that the x component of the velocity will remain constant, and only the y component will be affected, and can be described with the constant acceleration motion properties.

When an object that moves in constant acceleration motion, the time neccesary for it to desaccelerate from a velocity v to 0, will be the same to accelerate the object from 0 to v. And the distance that the object will travel in both desaceleration and acceleration will be exactly the same.

So, when the javelin its thrown, it willgo up until its velocity in the y component reaches 0. Then it will go down, and it will reach reach the ground in the same amount of time it took to go up and, therefore, with the same velocity.
