Review | Constants | Periodic TableNotice chge foet anation whes aking off and landingHopping is an efficient method caf locomotion for the kangaroo (see the figure above). When the kangaroo is in the air, the Earth-kangaroo system has a combination of gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. When the kangaroo lands, its Achilles tendons and theattached muscies stretch-a form of elastic potential energy. This elastic potential energy is used along with additional muscle tension to launch the kangaroo off the ground for the next hop. In the red kangaroo, more than 50% of the total energy used during each hop isrecovered elastic potential energy. This is so efficient that the kangaroo's metabolic rate actually decreases slightly as its hopping speed increases from 8 km/h to 25 km/h.The horizontal and vertical force components exerted by a firm surface on a kangaroo's feet while it hops are shown in the figure. The vertical force Ns on K (the figure below) varies: when the kangaroo is nat touching the surface S, the force is zero; when it is pushing ofthe force is about three times the gravitational force that Earth exerts on the kangaroo. The surlace exerts a backward horizontal force (Fs on Ka) on the kangaroo's foot while it lands and a forward horizontal force as it pushes off for the next hop (the figure below).similar to what happens to a human foot when landing in front of the body and when pushing off for another step when behind the body. The force in the top point is Nmax = 1800 N and the mass of the kangaroo is m = 60 kg.(b)NVertical forcewhile contactingSufacePusng ferwandwhen takng ofN04t(s)wihen lining0204 Vertical forcewhile contactingsurfacePushing forwardwhen taking offt(s)Fsenks92Pushing backwhen landing0.4Fronkt(s)0.40.2Part AEstimate the vertical impulse due to the gravitational force exerted on the kangaroo by Earth during the short time interval while it takes off.

irai, a 50 kg figure skater, lands on the ice her feet after landing the triple axel and immediately jumps up again to perform a double toe-loop. The instant before her skates first touch the ice after the triple axel, her vertical velocity is 3 m/s downward. Her velocity is 2 m/s upward when her skates leave the ice for the second jump, 0.8 s later. (a) What is the vertical impulse exerted on Mirai during the 0.8 s she is in contact with the ice between the two jumps? (b) What is the average net vertical force exerted on Mirai during this 0.8 s? (c) What is the average reaction force exerted upward by the ice on Mirai during the 0.8 s?

47. Ophthalmologists use the properties of inelastic collisions to detect a disease of the eye called glaucoma. While a healthy eye at normal pressure is slightly spongy, glaucoma causes the eye to become rigid due to a buildup of pressure in the eye. An ocular tonometer helps test for glaucoma by sending a puff of air to collide with the eye and measuring its rebound velocity. How would the impulse delivered to the puff of air against a healthy eye compare to an eye with glaucoma?A. The impulse delivered to the air puff by the healthy eye would be greater due to the higher rebound velocity of the air puff. B. The impulse delivered to the air puff by the glaucoma eye would be greater due to the higher rebound velocity of the air puff. C. The impulse delivered to the air puff by the healthy eye would be greater due to the lower rebound velocity of the air puff. D. The impulse delivered to the air puff by the glaucoma eye would be greater due to the lower rebound velocity of the air…

9. An athlete who is initially at rest in a squatted position jumps vertically upward and then lands going back to the original squatted position (ending at rest with the same center of mass height as at the start). The time period under consideration begins just before the athlete starts the upward motion and ends just after she has landed and comes to rest back in the squatted position. Compare the magnitude and directions of the impulse from the force of the ground on the athlete to the impulse from gravity on the athlete during this time period. Note: there are no other significant forces other than the ground and gravity acting on the athlete during this time period. of
