Answer:

The person with locked legs will experience greater impact force.

Explanation:

Let the two persons be of nearly equal mass (say m)

The final velocity of an object (person) dropped from a height H (here 2 meters) is given by,

$v=\sqrt{2gH}$

( $g$ = acceleration due to gravity)

which can be derived from Newton's equation of motion,

$v^2=u^2+2aS$

Now, the time taken (say $t$ ) for the momentum ( $mv$ ) to change to zero will be more in the case of the person who bends his legs on impact than who keeps his legs locked.

We know that,

$Force=\frac{\Delta(mv)}{t}$

Naturally, the person who bends his legs will experience lesser force since $t$ is larger.

Answer:

The value of g in Kepler-12b is $3.85 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

To determine the value of g at Kepler-12b it is necessary to combine the equation of the weight and the equation for the Universal law of gravity:

$W = m.g$ (1)

Where m is the mass and g is the value of the gravity

$F = G \frac{M.m}{R^{2}}$ (2)

Equation (1) and equation (2) will be equal, since the weight is a force acting on the object as a consequence of gravity:

$m.g = G \frac{M.m}{R^{2}}$ (3)

Then g will be isolated from equation 3:

$g = G \frac{M.m}{m.R^{2}}$

$g = \frac{G.M}{R^{2}}$ (4)

The radius of Jupiter has a value of 69911000 meters, so its diameter can be determined by:

$d = 2R$ (5)

Where d and R are the diameter and radius of Jupiter

$d_{jupiter} = 2(69911000 m)$

$d_{jupiter} = 139822000 m$

Procedure for finding the radius of Kepler-12b:

For the case of Kepler-12b it has a diameter that is 1.7 times that of Jupiter

$d_{Kepler-12b} = 1.7(d_{jupiter})$

$d_{Kepler-12b} = 1.7(139822000 m)$

$d_{Kepler-12b} = 237697400 m$

By means of equation 5 the radius of Kepler-12b can be known:

$R_{Kepler-12b} = \frac{d}{2}$

$R_{Kepler-12b} = \frac{237697400 m}{2}$

$R_{Kepler-12b} = 118848700 m$

Procedure for finding the mass of Kepler-12b:

The mass of Jupiter has a value of $1.898x10^{27}$ kilograms

For the case of Kepler-12b it has a mass that is 0.43 times that of jupiter

$m_{Kepler-12b} = 0.43(m_{jupiter})$

$m_{Kepler-12b} = 0.43(1.898x10^{27} Kg)$

$m_{Kepler-12b} = 8.161x10^{26} Kg$

The value of g in Kepler-12b can be found by replacing its radius and mass in equation 4:

$g = \frac{(6.67x10^{-11} N.m^{2}/Kg^{2})(8.161x10^{26} Kg)}{(118848700 m)^{2}}$

$g = 3.85 m/s^{2}$

Hence, in Kepler-12b the gravity has a value of $3.85 m/s^{2}$

The earth's radius is 6.37×106m; it rotates once every 24 hours.What is the speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 3

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

v = 120 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

earth's radius; r = 6.37 × 10^(6) m

Angular speed; ω = 2π/(24 × 3600) = 7.27 × 10^(-5) rad/s

Now, we want to find the speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 3/4 of the length of the arc between the equator and the pole, measured from equator.

The angle will be;

θ = ¾ × 90

θ = 67.5

¾ is multiplied by 90° because the angular distance from the pole is 90 degrees.

The speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 3/4 of the length of the arc between the equator and the pole, measured from equator will be:

v = r(cos θ) × ω

v = 6.37 × 10^(6) × cos 67.5 × 7.27 × 10^(-5)

v = 117.22 m/s

Approximation to 2 sig. figures gives;

v = 120 m/s

How does wind affect precipitation

patriot [66]

<span>Winds can greatly affect the amount of precipitation an area receives depending on the amount of moisture they are carrying. These prevailing winds can move air masses from the ocean onto a continent bringing moisture onto the continent. ... Prevailing winds affect the climate of an area.
