How does Newtons second law of motion relate to Track and field (running sport)?

1 answer:

3 0

Newton's second law also helps to explain what happens every time an athlete lands during running. When the foot hits the track, it will decelerate to a stop before leaving the track again. The faster the deceleration, the greater the force of impact on the foot.

What is the mass in kg of a leopard in a tree if the tree branch is 36 m up and the leopard's gravitational potential energy is

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

83.3kg

Explanation:

GPE = m × g × h

GPE = mass of leopard × 10 × 36m

29988J = 360 × mass

mass = 83.3kg

Definition of AM and Fm Wave? in your own word

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

In AM broadcasting, the amplitude of the carrier wave is modulated to encode the original sound. In FM broadcasting, the frequency of the carrier wave is modulated to encode the sound. A radio receiver extracts the original program sound from the modulated radio signal and reproduces the sound in a loudspeaker.

A man of mass 50kg ascends a flight of stairs 5m high in 5 seconds. If acceleration due to gravity is 10ms-2, the power expended

Setler79 [48]

The power expended is 500 W

Explanation:

First of all, we start by calculating the work done by the man in order to ascend: this is equal to the gravitational potential energy gained by the man, which is

$W=mg\Delta h$
