While playing basketball in PE class, Logan lost his balance after making a lay-up and colliding with the padded wall behind the

basket. His 74-kg body decelerated from 7.6 m/s to 0 m/s in 0.16 seconds.
a. Determine the force acting upon Logan's body.
b. If Logan had hit the concrete wall moving at the same speed, his momentum would have been reduced to zero in 0.0080 seconds. Determine what the force on his body would have been for such an abrupt collision.

Answer:

a.) F = 3515 N

b.) F = 140600 N

Explanation: given that the

Mass M = 74kg

Initial velocity U = 7.6 m/s

Time t = 0.16 s

Force F = change in momentum ÷ time

F = (74×7.6)/0.16

F = 3515 N

b.) If Logan had hit the concrete wall moving at the same speed, his momentum would have been reduced to zero in 0.0080 seconds

Change in momentum = 74×7.6 + 74×7.6

Change in momentum = 562.4 + 562.4 = 1124.8 kgm/s

F = 1124.8/0.0080 = 140600 N

Simone is walking her dog on a leash. The dog is pulling with a force of 32 N to the right and Simone is pulling backward with a
sammy [17]

Answer:

Net force acting on them is 16 N and it is acting to the right side.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting by the dog, F_1 = 32\ N (right side)

Force acting by Simone , F_2 = -16\ N (backward)

Let backward direction is taken to be negative while right side is taken to be positive.

The net force will act in the direction where the magnitude of force is maximum. Net force is given by :

F=F_1+F_2

F=32+(-16)    

F = 16 N

So, the net force is 16 N and it is acting to the right side.

Floor lamps usually have a base with large inertia, while the long body and top have much less inertia. Part A If you want to sh
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

When a an object is been rotated its resistance capacity to that rotational force is know as rotational inertia  and this mathematically given as

          I = mr^2

   Where m is the mass

                r is the rotation radius

For the spinning of the lamp as a baton to work the location of the center of mass of the floor lamp needs to be located

This is more likely to be located closer to base of the lamp as compared to the top, so success of spinning a floor lamp like a baton is highly likely if the lamp is grabbed closer to the base because that is where the position of its center of mass is likely to be.

The rotational speeds of four generators are listed in RPM (revolutions per minute). Arrange the generators in order based on th
artcher [175]

with the same generator, so the only factor for producing the slectric field is only the speed. The faster the rotational speed of the generator the greater it produce electric field. So the sequence is 3000 rpm < 3200 rpm < 3400 rpm < 3600 rpm

Your boss asks you to design a room that can be as soundproof as possible and provides you with three samples of material. The o
earnstyle [38]

The correct answer is Option C) Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.


As the coefficient of absorption would define the energy present in the reflected wave, the material C has the highest percentage of absorption i.e. 62% and would be best suitable to make a sound proof room.

Answer:

The bomb will remain in air for <u>17.5 s</u> before hitting the ground.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial vertical height is, y_0=1500\ m

Initial horizontal velocity is, u_x=688\ m/s

Initial vertical velocity is, u_y=0(\textrm{Horizontal velocity only initially)}

Let the time taken by the bomb to reach the ground be 't'.

So, consider the equation of motion of the bomb in the vertical direction.

The displacement of the bomb vertically is S=y-y_0=0-1500=-1500\ m

Acceleration in the vertical direction is due to gravity, g=-9.8\ m/s^2

Therefore, the displacement of the bomb is given as:

S=u_yt+\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\-1500=0-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(t^2)\\1500=4.9t^2\\t^2=\frac{1500}{4.9}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{1500}{4.9}}=17.5\ s

So, the bomb will remain in air for 17.5 s before hitting the ground.
