When landing from a jump, a basketball player of mass 82 kg has a velocity of 1.2 m/s right before they hit the ground. The play

er then lands on the floor with their feet and is quickly brought to a stop. If the the floor deforms by 0.025 m while the player lands on it, what was the average force under the player's feet during the landing

Answer:

2361.6N

Explanation:

Mass of player = 82kg

Velocity = 1.2m/s

Kinetic energy of player:

= 1/2mv²

= 1/2*82*1.2²

= 41x1.44

= 59.04J

Final kinetic energy = 0

Change in kinetic energy

|∆k| = |0-59.04|

= 59.04

Workdone by the feet = fd

d = 0.025

Fd = 59.04

F = 59.04/0.025

= 2361.6N

This is his average force.

skater spins over a point at a speed of 3.0 rotations per second then the momentum of inertia is 0.60 kg.M2, what is its angular
laiz [17]

Answer:

L=11.3\ kg-m^2/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular speed of a skater, \omega=3\ rot/s=18.84\ rad/s

The moment of inertia of the skater, I = 0.6 kg-m²

We need to find the angular momentum of the skater. The formula for the angular momentum of the skater is given by :

L=I\omega

Substitute all the values,

L=0.6\times 18.84\\\\L=11.3\ kg-m^2/s

So, its angular momentum is equal to 11.3\ kg-m^2/s.

I just need x isolated
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

x=\frac{-y+\sqrt{y^2+4rt} }{2r}

x=\frac{-y-\sqrt{y^2+4rt} }{2r}

Explanation:

rx+y=\frac{t}{x}\\\\x(rx+y)=(\frac{t}{x})x\\\\rx^2+yx=t\\\\rx^2+yx-t=t-t\\\\rx^2+yx-t=0

Solve using the quadratic formula.

x=\frac{-y+\sqrt{y^2+4rt} }{2r}

x=\frac{-y-\sqrt{y^2+4rt} }{2r}

A weightlifter works out at the gym each day. Part of her routine is to lie on her back and lift a 43 kg barbell straight up fro
Tasya [4]

Answer:

A. 231.77 J

B. 5330.71 J

C. 46 donuts

Explanation:

A. To lift the barbell once, she will have to extend it the full length of her arm. The work done will then be:

W = F * d

Where the force is the weight of the barbell.

F = m * g

Hence, the work done in lifting the barbell is:

W = m * g * d

W = 43 * 9.8 * 0.55

W = 231.77 J

B. If she does 23 repetitions, the total energy she expend will be equal to the Potential energy when the barbell is lifted multiplied by 23:

E = 23 * m * g * d

E = 23 * 231.77

E = 5330.71 J

C. 1 Joule = 4.184 calories

5330.71 Joules = 5330.71 * 4.184 = 22303.69

If 1 donut contains 490 calories, the number of donuts she will need will be:

N = 22303.69/490 = 45.5 donuts or 46 donuts

How to calculate the slope of position time graph?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The slope of a position-time graph can be calculated as:

m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}

where

\Delta y is the increment in the y-variable

\Delta x is the increment in the x-variable

We can verify that the slope of this graph is actually equal to the velocity. In fact:

\Delta y corresponds to the change in position, so it is the displacement, \Delta s

\Delta x corresponds to the change in time \Delta t, so the time interval

Therefore the slope of the graph is equal to

m=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}

which corresponds to the definition of velocity.
