Dancers experience large forces associated with the jumps they make. For example, when a dancer lands after a vertical jump, the

force exerted on the head by the neck must exceed the head's weight by enough to cause the head to slow down and come to rest. The head is about 9.4% of a typical person's mass. Video analysis of a 65-kg dancer landing after a vertical jump shows that her head decelerates from 4.0 m/s to rest in a time of 0.20 s. Compared with the force her neck exerts on her head during the landing, the force her head exerts on her neck is:_________
a. the same
b. greater
c. smaller
d. greater during the first half of the landing and smaller during the second half of the landing.

Answer:

Explanation:

The head decelerates from 4 m /s to zero in .2 sec so deceleration = 4 - 0 / .2

= 20 m/s²

If F be the average force acting on head

F - mg = ma

F = m ( g + a )

= 65 ( 9.8 + 20 )

= 1937 N .

This force will be uniformly acting on head in upward direction . So during first half and second half , deceleration is same hence force F will also be same .

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Far point = 17 cm . That means he can not see beyond this distance .

He wants to see at an object at 65 cm away . That means object placed at 65 has image at 17 cm by concave lens . Using lens formula

1 / v - 1 / u = 1 / f

1 / - 17 - 1 / - 65 = 1 / f

= 1 / 65 - 1 / 17

= -  .0434 = 1 / f

power = - 100 / f

= - 100 x .0434

= - 4.34 D .

A lacrosse ball that is thrown straight upwards reaches a maximum height of 4.5 m. At what initial velocity was it thrown? (note
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The initial velocity was 9.39 m/s

Explanation:

<em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

The ball is thrown straight upward with initial velocity u

The ball reaches a maximum height of 4.5 m

At the maximum height velocity v = 0

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s²

We need to find the initial velocity

The best rule to find the initial velocity is <em>v² = u² + 2ah</em>, where v is

the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration of

gravity and h is the height

⇒ v = 0 , h = 4.5 m , a = -9.8 m/s²

⇒ 0 = u² + 2(-9.8)(4.5)

⇒ 0 = u² - 88.2

Add 88.2 to both sides

⇒ 88.2 = u²

Take square root for both sides

⇒ u = 9.39 m/s

<em>The initial velocity was 9.39 m/s</em>

A pendulum has 895 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o
LuckyWell [14K]

Newton's law of conservation states that energy of an isolated system  remains a constant. It can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed  from one form to the other.

Implying the above law of conservation of energy in the case of pendulum we can conclude that at the bottom of the swing the entire potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Also the potential energy is zero at this point.

Mathematically also potential energy is represented as

Potential energy= mgh

Where m is the mass of the pendulum.

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height from the bottom z the ground.

At the bottom of the swing,the height is zero, hence the potential energy is also zero.

The kinetic energy is represented mathematically as

Kinetic energy= 1/2 mv^2

Where m is the mass of the pendulum

v is the velocity of the pendulum

At the bottom the pendulum has the maximum velocity. Hence the kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom.

Also as it has been mentioned energy can neither be created nor destroyed hence the entire potential energy is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom and would be equivalent to 895 J.
