AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a physics homework problem involving kinematics related to jumping. Key points include calculating the initial velocity at takeoff, determining average acceleration during the jump, and finding average acceleration upon landing. The individual seeks assistance in understanding these concepts, expressing a desire to learn rather than just receive answers. The problem involves specific height measurements and a mass of 75 kg, which are crucial for the calculations. Overall, the focus is on grasping the principles of motion and acceleration in a jumping scenario.

Homework Statement



a.Standing(Tip Toes) - 0.15m
b.Crouching(As before you jump) - 0.35m
c.At the height of a jump - 0.36m
d.At the bottom of your landing - 0.67

Mass = 75kg

1. Find the initial velocity at "take off" ( remember to use magnitude and direction of your acceleration while you are in the air- use c --> d

2. Find the magnitude and the direction of the average acceleration ( Use b--->c)

3. Find the magnitude and direction of the average acceleration from when you "Touched down" to when you stopped in the crouch position ( use e---> f)

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



I am new to Physics and i asked my teacher for help but he said he would not answer any questions on this lab?

Can you please help. Maybe explain to me how to do it but I really want to learn.

Thanks!

Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'
Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up ##Mg \sin \theta ## will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards ## \mu Mg \cos \theta ## Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...
TL;DR Summary: Find Electric field due to charges between 2 parallel infinite planes using Gauss law at any point Here's the diagram. We have a uniform p (rho) density of charges between 2 infinite planes in the cartesian coordinates system. I used a cube of thickness a that spans from z=-a/2 to z=a/2 as a Gaussian surface, each side of the cube has area A. I know that the field depends only on z since there is translational invariance in x and y directions because the planes are...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
