    How Far Did the Parachutist's Impact Occur from the Swimmer?

    Vsound in air= (340)(2) =680m V sound in water = (1400)(1) =1400 1400-680 doesn't equal 450m or 459m

    How Far Did the Parachutist's Impact Occur from the Swimmer?

    A swimmer sees a parachutist hit the water and hears the impact twice, once through the water and the second time through the air, 1.0 s later. How far from the swimmer did the impact occur? Vs air = 340 m/s Vs water = 1400 m/s the answer is 450m I don't understand what to do...

    Explain some Energy Questions Please?

    A lineman in football would need to develop a lot of power, in order to stop a running back from getting past him. or A quarterback would need to develop great power in order for him to throw the ball great distances.

    Explain some Energy Questions Please?

    Oh Thank you! I had another quick question if you don't mind :shy: Which sports require a person to a) generate a lot of force, b) do much work c) develop great power (I used one sport/event) a)A weight lifter, doing a dead lift of 105kg would require him/her to generate a lot of force...

    Explain some Energy Questions Please?

    Im sorry, but do you mean mechanical energy? To convert the chemical energy you would need a high metabolism? You would need strong muscles to convert that convert the energy into large forces?

    Explain some Energy Questions Please?

    You would need long legs, long arms to help balance and propel you forward. That's all I can think of :confused:

    Explain some Energy Questions Please?

    I forgot to include that the the person is running up the stairs as fast as possible.

    Explain some Energy Questions Please?

    I answered the questions(not sure if they are right) but I would like to know the best way to explain these questions on a test/quiz. 1) Describe the transfer of energy that enables a person to climb stairs. I put: The person's body first uses the chemical energy from food/water as...

    Calculating Toboggan Acceleration and Tension with Newton's Laws

    So (1.02)(25) = 25.5 -24.5 - 25.5 = -50N Right?

    Calculating Toboggan Acceleration and Tension with Newton's Laws

    The acceleration is 1.02 and the friction force for all of the toboggans is 122.5N. The answer key says that (b) has to equal 130N again and (c) has to equal 50N again. For (c) I did Fg=mg Fg = (25)(-9.8) Fg = -245N so the Ff=(0.10)(245) Ff= 24.5N...

    Calculating Toboggan Acceleration and Tension with Newton's Laws

    i added the masses of the 40kg and 25kg toboggan then found FNet. Fnet =ma Fnet = (65)(2) Fnet= 130N

    Calculating Toboggan Acceleration and Tension with Newton's Laws

    Two toboggans are connected by a rope. The first toboggan has a mas of 60 kg and the second has a mass of 40 kg. The two toboggans are pulled by a rope connected to the first toboggan. If the force exerted on the rope is 250N [E], and friction between the toboggans and the ice and be ignored...
