A man standing on the Earth can exert the same force with his legs as when he is standing

Physics
1 answer:
statuscvo [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

No

Explanation:

From the analogy of the problem we are made to know that "a man standing on the earth can exert the same force with his legs as when he is standing on the moon".

 This force he is exerting is due to his weight. If he can have the same weight on the earth and moon, therefore:

      weight  = mass x acceleration due gravity

His mass and acceleration due to gravity on both terrestrial bodies are the same.

So, his jump height will be the same on earth and on the moon.

In summary, we have been shown that his mass and the acceleration due to gravity on both planets are the same, therefore, his weight will also be the same. His jump height will also be same.

On the Moon, acceleration resulting from gravity, g, is about 5.3 ft/s2. Which expression gives the time, in seconds, it would t
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2h_0}{g}}, 6.1 s

Explanation:

The motion of the dropped penny is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration

g=5.3 ft/s^2

towards the ground. If the penny is dropped from a height of

h_0 = 100 ft

the vertical position of the penny at time t is given by the equation

h(t) = h_0 - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where the negative sign is due to the fact that the direction of the acceleration is downward.

We want to know the time t at which the penny reaches the ground, which means h(t)=0. Substituting into the equation, it becomes

0=h_0 - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

And re-arranging it, we find an expression for the time t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2h_0}{g}}

And substituting the numbers, we can also find the numerical value:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2(100 ft)}{5.3 ft/s^2}}=6.1 s

Which type of plate boundary is most closely associated with the formation of new ocean floor?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

C) Divergent

Explanation:

Magma which is present in the underlying mantle comes out at divergent plate boundaries. The reason of coming out magma is that heat in the mantle makes the crust less dense. After coming out, magma cools down and solidifies to form a new ocean floor.  Hence, divergent plate boundary is most closely related with formation of new ocean floor.

A 3-kilogram ball is accelerated from rest to a speed of 10 m/sec. What is the ball's change in momentum?
valentina_108 [34]
Change in Momentum =  mv - mu.

u = 0, v = 10 m/s.  Note ball accelerated from rest, so initial velocity = 0. u =0

Change in Momentum =  mv - mu = 3*10 - 3*0 =30.

Change in Momentum = 30 kgm/s.

. Maria walked 1.5 miles south to her house in 0.5 hours. What is her speed in miles per hour?
Simora [160]

1) 3 miles/Hour

The speed is defined as the distance covered divided by the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d = 1.5 mi is the distance

t = 0.5 h is the time taken

Substituting,

v=\frac{1.5}{0.5}=3 mi/h

2) 1.34 m/s south

Velocity, instead, is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. We have:

d=1.5 mi \cdot 1609 m/mi = 2414 m is the displacement in meters

t=0.5 h \cdot 3600 s/h =1800 s is the time taken in seconds

Substituting,

v=\frac{2414 m}{1800 s}=1.34 m/s

And the direction of the velocity is the same as the displacement, so it is south.
