Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 45GP
|| 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.

A pilot performs an evasive maneuver by diving vertically at 310 m/s. If he can withstand an acceleration of 8.0 g without blacking out at what altitude must he begin to pull out of the dive to avoid crashing into the sea? Express your answer using two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
For bodies that are falling, to achieve terminal velocity, what must happen to the acceleration of the body?
a. The acceleration of the body is remains the same through time.
b. The acceleration of the body must decrease over time
c. The acceleration of the body must equal to the acceleration due to gravity.
d. The acceleration of the body must increase over time.
Forces F1 and F2 are applied to a box as it moves at a constant velocity. If an angle is to decrease without changing the magnitude o f1 and without changing the velocity, should the magnitude of F2 increase, decrease, or remain the same? Why?
