A 75.0-kg man steps off a platform 3.10 m above the ground. he keeps his legs straight as he falls, but his knees begin to bend

at the moment his feet touch the ground; treated as a particle, he moves an additional 0.60 m before coming to rest. (a) what is his speed at the instant his feet touch the ground? (b) if we treat the man as a particle, what is his acceleration (magnitude and direction) as he slows down, if the acceleration is assumed to be constant?

Refer to the diagram shown below.

u = 0, the initial vertical velocity
Assume g = 9.8 m/s² and ignore air resistance.

At the first stage of landing on the ground, the distance traveled is
h = 3.1 - 0.6 = 2.5 m.
If v =  the vertical velocity at this stage, then
v² = u² + 2gh
v² = 2*(9.8 m/s²)*(2.5 m) = 49 (m/s)²
v = 7 m/s

At the second stage of landing on the ground, let a =  the acceleration (actually deceleration) that his body provides to come to rest.
The distance traveled is 0.6 m.
Therefore
0 = (7 m/s)² + 2(a m/s²)*(0.6 m)
a = - 49/1.2 = - 40.833 m/s²

Answers:
(a) The velocity when the man first touches the ground is 7.0 m/s.
(b) The acceleration is -40.83 m/s² (deceleration of 40.83 m/s²) to come to rest within 0.6 m.

Explain velocity ratio. Explain and define the efficiency of a machine​
Norma-Jean [14]
Velocity ratio is also defined as the ratio of a distance through which any part of a machine moves, to that which the driving part moves during the same time. An object has a mechanical advantage if it exerts a force higher than the velocity ratio.

According to Newton's first law of motion, what would happen to a car traveling at a constant velocity of 55 MPH to the west in
mart [117]

Explanation:

  • Newton's first law of motion says that an object will be at rest or it will be in motion until an unbalanced force acts on it.
  • In this case, a car traveling at a constant velocity of 55 mph to the west in the absence of an unbalanced force.
  • It would mean that the car will continue to move with a constant velocity of 55 mph to the west due to Newton's first law of motion.
