A student throws an object of mass m straight up in the air with initial velocity vo, and the object reaches its maximum height in a time t. Ignoring the effects of air resistance, which of the following statements must be true? (There may be more than one correct answer.) When the object is in the student's hand, the reaction force to the normal force is the weight of the object. The object travels a distance vot over this time interval The object's acceleration is vo/t The average speed of the object over this time interval is vo/2 When the object is in the air, the object exerts a force on the earth with a magnitude mg.
Dancers experience large forces associatedwith the jumps they make. For example, when a dancer landsafter a vertical jump, the force exerted on the head by the neck mustexceed the head’s weight by enough to cause the head to slow down andcome to rest. The head is about 9.4% of a typical person’s mass. Videoanalysis of a 65 kg dancer landing after a vertical jump shows that herhead decelerates from 4.0 m>s to rest in a time of 0.20 s. What is the magnitude of the average force that her neck exerts on her head during the landing? (a) 0 N; (b) 60 N; (c) 120 N; (d) 180 N.
