|| BIO A standing vertical Jump, NFL player Gerald Sensabaugh recorded a 45 inch standing vertical Jump at the 2005 NFL Combine, at that time the highest for any NFL player in the history of the Combine. Sensabaugh weighed about 200 lb When he set the record (a) What was his speed as he left the floor? (b) If the jump motion took 0.300 s, what were the magnitude and direction of his acceleration (assuming it to be constant) while he was pushing against the floor? (s) Draw a free-body diagram of Sensabaugh during the jump. (d) Use Newton’s laws and the results of part (b) to calculate the normal force on his feet as he jumped.

It pushes off with muscular rear legs for 0.0010 s, reaching a speed of 4.0 m/s. a) DETERMINE ITS ACCELERATION DURING LAUNCH b)Determine the distance that the froghopper moves while its legs are pushing.arrow_forward
- While an object is in projectile motion (with upward being positive) with no air resistance, how would you treat the x and y axis? A Independent of each other. B Dependent on each other. C Treat both simultaneously. D Both will have different accelerations.arrow_forwardHey what’s the answer to thisarrow_forwardDecont M ts. Using Newton's second law to calculate the acceleration of a key hanging in a car. You tape one end of a piece of string to the ceiling light of your car and hang a key with mass m on the other end of the string, A protractor taped to the light allows you to the angle the string makes with the vertical. Your friend drives the car while you make measurements. When the car has a constant acceleration with magnitude a toward the right, the string hangs at rest (relative to the car), making an angle ß with the vertical. (a) Derive an expression for the acceleration a in terms of the mass m and the measured angle B. (b) In particular, what is a when B = 45°? When B=0? Show your work that leads to your answer. Explain each step in your work to get the full credit. The equation with no ts. Calculate the magnitude and explanation will get your answer zero point. (c) bo direction of the total force acting on your body when the measured angle B is 45 degree or B = 45⁰. Assume the…arrow_forward

Miguels acceleration is given by (0.700i + 1.00j) m/s2, and Lances acceleration is given by (1.20i + 0.300j) m/s2. a. What is Miguels acceleration with respect to Lance? b. What is Miguels speed with respect to Lance after 4.50 s have elapsed? c. What is the distance separating Miguel and Lance after 4.50 s have elapsed?arrow_forwardDescribe how a driver can steer a car traveling at constant speed so that (a) the acceleration is zero or (b) the magnitude of the acceleration remains constant.arrow_forward
- In the absence of air resistance, which of the following best describes the motion of a freely falling object near the surface of the Earth? (Assume the downward direction is positive.) O The velocity increases but the acceleration remains constant as the object falls. O The velocity and the acceleration both stay constant as the object falls. O The velocity and the acceleration both increase as the object falls. O The velocity stays constant but the acceleration increases as the object falls. Nood Help?
