Answer:
B. No. He presented no scientific data to support his claim.
Answer:
c. about 1/10 as great.
Explanation:
While jumping form a certain height when we bend our knees upon reaching the ground such that the time taken to come to complete rest is increased by 10 times then the impact force gets reduced to one-tenth of the initial value when we would not do so.
This is in accordance with the Newton's second law of motion which states that the rate of change in velocity is directly proportional to the force applied on the body.
Mathematically:
since mass is constant
when 
then,
the body will experience the tenth part of the maximum force.
where:
represents the rate of change in dependent quantity with respect to time
momentum
mass of the person jumping
velocity of the body while hitting the ground.
Answer:
6200 J
Explanation:
Momentum is conserved.
m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂
The car is initially stationary. The truck and car stick together after the collision, so they have the same final velocity. Therefore:
m₁ u₁ = (m₁ + m₂) v
Solving for the truck's initial velocity:
(2700 kg) u = (2700 kg + 1000 kg) (3 m/s)
u = 4.11 m/s
The change in kinetic energy is therefore:
ΔKE = ½ (m₁ + m₂) v² − ½ m₁ u²
ΔKE = ½ (2700 kg + 1000 kg) (3 m/s)² − ½ (2700 kg) (4.11 m/s)²
ΔKE = -6200 J
6200 J of kinetic energy is "lost".
