(a)
The internal work-done by the athlete.
(a)
Answer to Problem 68P
400 Joules
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The center of mass of athlete moves 0.500 meters.
The muscular energy that needs to be spent on the athlete to lift his body is 800 N.
Formula Used:
The work-done by the internal energy is
Calculation:
800 N is basically the force that is needed to overcome by the gravity to jump upward.
Conclusion:
The work-done by the internal energy of jumper is 400 Joules.
(b)
The speed of the athlete.
(b)
Answer to Problem 68P

Formula Used:
The potential energy is equal to the kinetic energy of the athlete
Calculation:
Considering
Conclusion:
The speed is
(c)
The time of jump for given height.
(c)
Answer to Problem 68P
The time required to reach 0.400 m height by the jumper will be 0.5145 sec.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Initial speed,
Final speed,
Formula Used:
Calculation:
Negative sign shows the deceleration.
Now, the acceleration of the jumper is
Solving the equation, t will be -0.1174 seconds.or 0.5145 seconds. Negative time does not make any sense. Hence, the t will be 0.5145 seconds.
Conclusion:
The time required to reach 0.400 m height by the jumper will be 0.5145 s.
(d)
The average mechanical power.
(d)

- To give a pet hamster exercise, some people put the hamster in a ventilated ball andallow it roam around the house(Fig. P13.66). When a hamsteris in such a ball, it can cross atypical room in a few minutes.Estimate the total kinetic energyin the ball-hamster system. FIGURE P13.66 Problems 66 and 67arrow_forwardWhen a body slides down an inclined plane, does the work of friction depend on the body’s initial speed? Answer the same question for a body sliding down a curved surface.arrow_forwardReview. The mass of a car is 1 500 kg. The shape of the cars body is such that its aerodynamic drag coefficient is D = 0.330 and its frontal area is 2.50 m2. Assuming the drag force is proportional to 2 and ignoring other sources of friction, calculate the power required to maintain a speed of 100 km/h as the car climbs a long hill sloping at 3.20.arrow_forward
- A quarterback of mass 85 kg is running at 10 m/s. Also, a tackle of mass 100 kg is running at 9 m/s. The tackle has the greater kinetic energy. The quarterback and the tackle have equal kinetic energies. The quarterback has the greater kinetic energy.arrow_forwardAdult cheetahs, the fastest of the great cats, have a mass of about 70 kg and have beenclocked to run at up to 72 mi/h 132 m/s^2.

- Two objects are connected by a light string passing over a light, frictionless pulley as shown in the figure below. The object of mass m, = 4.20 kg is released from rest at a height h = 3.00 m above the table. (a) Using the isolated system model, determine the speed of the object of mass m2 = 3.00 kg just as the 4.20-kg object hits the table. What is the relationship between the speed of block m, and the speed of block m2? When block m, reaches the table, what is the height of block m2? m/s (b) Find the maximum height above the table to which the 3.00-kg object rises. When block m1 hits the table, block m2 is moving upwards. What happens to block m2 after that point in time? marrow_forwardA net external force of 4 N acts on an object initially at rest for 0.25 s and gives it a final speed of 5 m/s. How could a net external force of 2 N produce the same final speed?arrow_forward
