Suppose you are standing on the edge of a dock and jump straight down. If you land on sand your stopping time is much shorter th

an if you land on water. Using the impulse-momentum theorem as a guide, determine which one of the following statements is correct.
(a) In bringing you to a halt, the sand exerts a greater impulse on you than does the water.

(b) In bringing you to a halt, the sand and the water exert the same impulse on you, but the sand exerts a greater average force.

(c) In bringing you to a halt, the sand and the water exert the same impulse on you, but the sand exerts a smaller average force.

A boy is swinging a yo-yo with mass 0.25 kg in a circle with radius 1 m at a speed of 6 m/s. What is the tension in the string c
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

D. 9 N

Explanation:

The tension on the string is equivalent to the centripetal force.

Centripetal force is the force exerted by an object in circular motion or path towards the center of the circular path.

Centripetal force = mv²/r

where m is the mass of the object, v is the velocity and r is the radius of the circular path.

Centripetal force = (0.25 kg × 6²)/ 1

                            = 9 N

Thus, the tension on the string is 9 N

A sled with mass 8.00kg moves in a straight line on a frictionless horizontal surface. At one point in it's path, it's speed is
kati45 [8]

We will use two definitions to solve this problem. The first will be given by the conservation of energy, whereby the change in kinetic energy must be equivalent to work. At the same time, work can be defined as the product between the force by the distance traveled. By matching these two expressions and clearing for the Force we can find the desired variable.

W = KE_f-KE_i

Fd = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2-\frac{1}{2} mv_i^2

Thus the force acting on the sled is,

F = \frac{m}{2s} (v_f^2-v_i^2)

Replacing,

F = \frac{8}{2(2.5)}(6^2-4^2)

F = 32N

Therefore the Force acting on the sled is 32N
