Katelyn (55 kg) is practicing a drop jump in the biomechanics lab. She steps off a plyometrics box, lands on the force plate, an

d immediately jumps back up into the air. Right before she hits the force plate, her vertical velocity is 3.0 m/s downwards. After leaving the ground again, her vertical velocity is 3.5 m/s upwards. Katelyn was in contact with the ground for 0.4 seconds. (a) What was the impulse exerted on Katelyn when she was on the force plate

Answer:

J = 357.5 kg*m/s

Explanation:

  • The impulse exerted on Katelyn when she was on the force plate, is equal to the change in her momentum, according to Newton's 2nd Law.
  • Assuming as the positive direction the upward direction (coincident with the positive y-axis) we can express the initial momentum as follows:

       p_{o} = m*v_{o} = 55 kg * (-3.0 m/s)  (1)

  • By the same token, the final momentum is as follows:

       p_{f} = m*v_{f} = 55 kg * (3.5 m/s)  (2)

  • As we have already said, the impulse J is just equal to the change in momentum, i.e., the difference between (2) and (1):

      J = p_{f} - p_{o} = m* (v_{f} -v_{o}) = 55 kg* (3.5m/s- (-3.0m/s)) = 357.5 kg*m/s (3)

Zolol [24]

Answer:

B) Because the Space Station is constantly in free-fall around the Earth.

Explanation:

Anything that is falling experiences an upward force on them. For example when a person is going down in a lift they will experience something that is pushing them upwards. This happens due to the fact that the total acceleration the body is feeling is less than the acceleration due to graviity.

The force on a body which is falling is

F=m(g-a)

Where,

m = Mass of object

g = acceleration due to gravity

a = acceleration the object is experiencing.

a = g. So, the force becomes zero and the object experiences weightlessness.

Hence, the astronauts in the space station experience weightlessness due to fact that the Space Station is constantly in free-fall around the Earth.

#2 A car accelerates from rest at 4 m/s^2. What is the velocity of the car after 4 second?
solmaris [256]
You use the equation Velocity = Acceleration X Time. 4x4=16m/s.


The car travels 18m in 3 seconds.
