Answer:
c. about 1/10 as great.
Explanation:
While jumping form a certain height when we bend our knees upon reaching the ground such that the time taken to come to complete rest is increased by 10 times then the impact force gets reduced to one-tenth of the initial value when we would not do so.
This is in accordance with the Newton's second law of motion which states that the rate of change in velocity is directly proportional to the force applied on the body.
Mathematically:
since mass is constant
when
then,
the body will experience the tenth part of the maximum force.
where:
represents the rate of change in dependent quantity with respect to time
momentum
mass of the person jumping
velocity of the body while hitting the ground.
Explanation:
1. study of conversion of heat to mechanics → thermodynamics
A branch of physical science which deals with heat and other forms of energy.
2. The Law of Conservation of Energy → first Law of Thermodynamics
Energy cannot be created nor be destroyed. According to first law of thermodynamics total energy of the system is always constant.
3. Result of applied energy → work
Work is the way of system to release its energy.
4. Principle that states that in any energy transformation some energy is dissipated as heat → Second Law of Thermodynamics
5. energy of motion → kinetic energy
Kinetic energy is defined as energy possessed by the body due to its motion.
6. work/displacement → force
Work is product of force and displacement.
7. power · time → energy
Power is defined energy per unit time.
8. Device that transforms heat energy into mechanical energy → heat engine
heat engine is a device which converts the heat energy which is released due to combustion of fuel into a useful work that is mechanical energy.
9 . Energy due to position → potential energy
Potential energy is defined as energy possessed by the body due to its position.
10. efficiency of a heat engine unit of heat → calorie
11. Measure of molecular motion → Temperature
Kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature.
Greater the motion more will be the kinetic energy and with more will be the temperature.
12. Heat given off by a liquid with no change in temperature → latent heat of fusion
Latent heat of fusion is defined as heat released by 1 mole of substance when it under goes phase change that is from solid to liquid.
13. Motion within solids → vibrational motion
Vibrational motion is the motion in which particle oscillates from its mean position.
14. Phase of matter on the sun → plasma
Plasma is hot ionized gas with equal number of positive and negative ions. Due to high temperature of sun most the gas are in the plasma state.
