When people do a bungee jump theyare asked how much they weigh. Why?​

Physics
1 answer:
Katena32 [7]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The elasticity of the bungee cord reduces the gravitational forces applied on the body during bungee jumping. For example, if a 100-pound individual jumps from a building and encounters 900 pounds of deceleration force, they will feel 9 "G's" of force.

hopefully this'll help

have a nice day!!! :D

A hammer slides down a roof that makes a 30.0°angle with the horizontal. What are the magnitudes of the components of the hammer

<h2>Answer:7.14ms^{-1},4.125ms^{-1}</h2>

Explanation:

Whenever an object is moving in a 2D frame,its motion can be analysed as if it is travelling in two independent 1D frames.

One of such independent 1D frames are along horizontal and another along vertical.

Let v be the total velocity.

Given that,v=8.25ms^{-1}

We call the horizontal velocity as v_{h} and the vertical velocity as v_{v}.

v_{h}=vCos\alpha

v_{v}=vSin\alpha

where \alpha is the angle between the object and horizontal.

It is given that \alpha =30^{0}

v_{h}=8.25\times Cos(30^{0})=7.14ms^{-1}

v_{v}=8.25\times Sin(30^{0})=4.125ms^{-1}

Learning Goal: To understand the distinction between mass and weight and to be able to calculate the weight of an object from it
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The true statements are: A, D

Explanation:

This interesting problem of the conceptual relationship between mass and weight, the equation for weight is

        W = m g

From Newton's second law

       W = ma

Where g the acceleration of gravity, this acceleration can vary at several points, for example, in a vertical circumference the acceleration of gravity is always down and the centripetal acceleration continuously changes direction therefore the body weight constantly changes from zero to the maximum value.

The mass instead is always the same and is the resistance (inertia) to the movement of the bodies

Of the aforementioned the peo has the unit mass multiplied by the acceleration

           

        Weight [N] = mass [kg] acceleration [m / s2]

        Weight [lb] = mass [slug] acceleration [ft / s2]

Examine the statements

A) 12.0 lb. True pounds are the mass for acceleration. English measurement system

B) 0.34g False. Grams are units of mass,

C) 120 kg. False. The kilograms is a multiple of the grams, which are units of mass

D) 1600 kN True the newton is the unit of weight, the Newton kilo is a multiple

E) 0.34 m False meters are units of length

F) 411 cm False centimeters is a submultiple of the meter that is a unit of length

The true statements are: A, D

What's the weight of a 30x30x50 cm body with the density of 1.8/cm cube?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The weight of the body, W = 793.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

The volume of the body, v = 45,000 cm³

The density of the body, ρ = 1.8 g/cm³

The mass of the body is given by the formula,

                                  m = ρ x v

                                      = 1.8 g/cm³ x 45,000 cm³

                                      = 81,000 g

Hence, the mass of the body is m = 81 kg

The weight of the body,

                                           W = m x g

                                                = 81 kg x 9.8 m/s²

                                                = 793.8 m/s²

Hence, the weight of the body, W = 793.8 m/s²
