A 70 kg person lands on firm ground after jumping from a height of 3 m. What is the average force (in N) exerted on her feet by

the ground if she bends her legs as she lands so that her body moves 50 cm during the impact? In other words, the change in her velocity as she comes to a stop occurs over a distance of 50 cm. You may assume that her acceleration is constant over the 50 cm.

Answer:

4816N

Explanation:

Height = 3m

Mass = 70kg

g = 9.8m/s²

S = 50cm = 0.5m

The total force = the weight of the body + impact force.

Impact force = ma but a = v / t

Using equation of motion,

V² = u² + 2as

V² = u² + 2gh

But u = 0m/s (since the body is at rest)

V² = 0 + 2 * 9.8 * 3

V² = 58.8

V = √(58.8)

v = 7.668m/s ≈ 7.67m/s

The impact interval = ?

Average velocity = total distance / time taken

V = 2s / T

T = (2 * s) / v

T = (2 * 0.5) / 7.67

T = 1 / 7.67

T = 0.13 seconds

The total force F = (mg + ma)

But a = v / t

F = m(g + v / t )

F = 70 * [ 9.8 + (7.67/0.13)]

F = 70 * (9.8 + 59)

F = 4816N

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

(B) 0.5 g

Explanation:

Newton's second law says ∑  F i = m a .

the rate of change in momentum of a body is proportional to the force applied on the body.

f∝ma

f=kma

were k is constant and equal to 1

The centripetal acceleration is an acceleration.

the tension on the swing and object weight goes to the left hand side while the centripetal acceleration goes to the right handside

At the bottom of the swing, ΣF = FT – mg = mac;

notice that the tension in the swing is 1.5 times the weight of the object

we can write

1.5mg – mg = mac,

0.5mg = mac

0.5 g=ac

The car is accelerating at 3 m/s² in the positive direction (to the right). By Newton's second law, the net force on the car in this direction is

∑ F = F[a] - F[f] - F[air] = ma

3100 N - 200 N - F[air] = (650 kg) (3 m/s²)

Solve for F[air] :

F[air] = 3100 N - 200 N - (650 kg) (3 m/s²)

F[air] = 3100 N - 200 N - 1950 N

F[air] = 950 N

Radda [10]

Answer:

The electromagnetic spectrum comprise a lot of waves length. Usually, different waves length are called as different lights, and a light source can emit in more than a different wave length, as the sun does, for example. The sun emit the visible light, UV light, infrared, etc.
