Answer:

If Earth hadn't been hit by Orpheus, it would be covered by ocean, with perhaps a few mountaintops emerging through the water. There would be no humans, but there could be other forms of life. Earth would rotate rapidly, as the moon would not be present to produce the tidal friction that slows Earth's rotation today

A 60 kilogram student jumps down from a laboratory counter. At the instant he lands on the floor hus speed is 3 meters per secon

erastovalidia [21]

As per Newton's law rate of change in momentum is net force

so we can write it as

$F = \frac{dP}{dt}$

$F = \frac{m(v_f - v_i)}{\Delta t}$

now we know that

$m = 60 kg$

$v_f = 3 m/s$

$v_i = 0$

$\Delta t= 0.2 s$

from above equation

$F = \frac{60(3 - 0)}{0.2} = 900 N$

so he will experience 900 N force in above case

While in a car at 4.47 meters per second a passenger drops a ball from a height of 0.70 meters above the top of a bucket how far

viktelen [127]

Answer:

1.7 m

Explanation:

$v_x$ = Velocity of ball in x direction = 4.47 m/s

$u_y$ = Velocity of ball in y direction = 0

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

t = Time taken

$s_y$ = Vertical displacement = 0.7 m

$s_y=u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\Rightarrow 0.7=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.7\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.38\ \text{s}$
