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.

Answer:

Part a)

a = -9.81 m/s/s

Part b)

v = 0

Part c)

v = 9.81 m/s

Part d)

$H = 4.905 m$

Explanation:

Part a)

During the motion of ball it will have only gravitational force on the ball

so here the acceleration of the ball is only due to gravity

so it is given as

$a = g = 9.81 m/s^2$

Part b)

As we know that ball is moving against the gravity

so here the velocity of ball will keep on decreasing as the ball moves upwards

so at the highest point of the motion of the ball the speed of ball reduce to zero

$v_f = 0$

Part c)

We know that the total time taken by the ball to come back to the initial position is T = 2 s

so in this time displacement of the ball will be zero

$\Delta y = 0 = v_y t + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

$0 = v_y (2) - \frac{1}{2}(9.81)(2^2)$

$v_y = 9.81 m/s$

Part d)

at the maximum height position we know that the final speed will be zero

so we will have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

here we have

$0 - (9.81^2) = 2(-9.81)H$

$H = 4.905 m$

A long, straight, vertical wire carries a current upward. due east of this wire, in what direction does the magnetic field point

Solnce55 [7]

(I assume that the 4 directions north-south-east-west are meant with respect to the wire seen from the top.)

We can use the right-hand rule to understand the direction of the magnetic field generated by the wire. The thumb follows the direction of the current in the wire (upward), while the other fingers give the direction of the field in every point around the wire. Seen from the top, the field has an anti-clockwise direction. Therefore, if we take a point at east with respect to the wire, in this point the field has direction south.

What would happen to plasma membrane if proteins were absent

Inessa [10]

Cell membranes are 50% protein, the proteins are responsible for many biological processes. If the proteins were absent the membrane could not carry out it's intended purpose.

Acceleration occurs whenever an ___________________ force acts on an object.

leonid [27]

Acceleration occurs whenever the forces on an object are unbalanced.

It's the group of forces on the object that's either balanced or unbalanced.
There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force".
