Answer:

Smaller forces are easier on your legs and you prefer to land on soft grass. Momentum/impulse explanation: Whether you land on concrete or soft grass, your change in momentum will be identical. A hard surface that brings you to a stop in 0.01 s requires a much larger force of 15,000 N.

Different forces were applied to five balls, and each force was applied for the same amount of time. The data is in the table. A

The magnitude of impulse on Ball A will become twice (doubles). Hence, option (c) is correct.

Impulse:

The effect of applied force acting for a very small interval of time is known as Impulse.

Given data:

The initial magnitude of the force on Ball A is, F = 50 N.

The time interval for the applied force on Ball A is, t = 1.25 s.

And the impulse at initial on ball A is, I = 62.5 N-s.

Now, if force on ball A doubles, which means new magnitude of force is,

F' = 2F

F' = 2 × 50

F' = 100 N

For same time interval, the new impulse on Ball A is given as,

I' = F' × t

Solving as,

I' = 100 × 1.25

I' = 125 N-s

Taking the ratio of both the impulses as,

I' / I = 125/62.5

I' = 2 I

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of impulse on Ball A will become twice (doubles). Hence, option (c) is correct.

List three unique examples of situations in your daily life where expansion and contraction occur.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

When you put ice in the freezer, the water expands when in gets cold.
the sidewalks have cracks in them to make room for the expansion and contraction when it heats up and cools down.
as you drive a car, the heat from combustion causes metal to expand. when you turn the car off, the metal cools down and contracts

Jason rides his bicycle 1,200 meters east to the grocery store. He then turns around and travels 760 meters west to meet his fri

KiRa [710]

Since displacement is a vector quantity, it depends on direction as well as magnitude.

Taking displacement towards east as positive and towards west as negative,
Total displacement = 1200 + (-760) = 440 meters.

Since distance is a scalar quantity, it depends only upon magnitude.
Total distance = 1200 + 760 = 1960 meters.

Hope this cleared your doubt, feel free to ask any questions regarding this and have a nice day ahead! :)

The density of a hippo is approximately 1030kg/m^3,so it sinks to the bottom of the freshwater lakes and rivers. A 1500kg hippo

hram777 [196]

Answer:

14,700 N

Explanation:

The hyppo is standing completely submerged on the bottom of the lake. Since it is still, it means that the net force acting on it is zero: so, the weight of the hyppo (W), pushing downward, is balanced by the upward normal force, N:

$W-N=0$ (1)

the weight of the hyppo is

$W=mg=(1500 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=14,700 N$

where m is the hyppo's mass and g is the gravitational acceleration; therefore, solving eq.(1) for N, we find

$N=W=14,700 N$
