A basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body 0.300 m and then accelerates through this distance by forcefully straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a vertical velocity sufficient to carry him 0.900 m above the floor.

(a) Calculate his velocity when he leaves the floor.

(b) Calculate his acceleration while he is straightening his legs. He goes from zero to the velocity found in part (a) in a distance of 0.300 m.

(c) Calculate the force he exerts on the floor to do this, given that his mass is 110 kg.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)The initial velocity of the player is 4.2 m/s.

(b)The acceleration is 29.4 m/s2.

(c) The force exerted on the floor is -4312 N

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  • Hight = 0.900 m.
02

(a) Determine the initial velocity of the player.

Apply the equation of motion as:

v2u2=2gh

Here, v is the final speed, u is the initial speed, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height attained.

Substitute 0 for v, 0.9 m for h, and (-9.8) m/s2 for g in the above expression, and we get,

0u2=29.8鈥刴/蝉20.9鈥刴u=17.64鈥刴2/s2u=4.2鈥刴/蝉

Hence, the initial velocity of the player is 4.2 m/s.

03

(b) Determine the acceleration during the straightening of the legs

Apply the equation of motion as:

v2u2=2as

Here, a is the acceleration, and s is the distance covered.

Substitute 0 for u, 4.2 m/s for v, and 0.3 m for s in the above expression, and we get,

4.22鈥刴2/s20=2a0.3鈥刴17.64鈥刴2/s20=a0.6鈥刴a=17.64鈥刴2/s20.6鈥刴a=29.4鈥刴/蝉2

Hence, the acceleration is 29.4 m/s2.

04

(c) Determine the force exerted on the floor

The free-body diagram is shown below:

Apply Newton鈥檚 Second Law of motion as:

Fnet=maFmg=ma

Here, m is the mass of the player, F is the force exerted, and Fnet is the net force exerted.

Substitute 110 kg for m, 29.4 m/s2 for a, and 9.8 m/s2 for g in the above expression, and we get,

F110鈥刱驳9.8鈥刴/蝉2=110鈥刱驳29.4鈥刴/蝉2F1078鈥刱驳m/s2=3234鈥刱驳m/s2F=3234+1078鈥凬F=4312鈥凬

Hence, the force exerted on the floor is-4312 N as the force will be in the opposite direction.

Suppose your car was mired deeply in the mud, and you wanted to use the method illustrated in Figure 4.37 to pull it out.

(a) What force would you have to exert perpendicular to the center of the rope to produce a force of 12,000 N on the car if the angle is 2.00掳? In this part, explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for Newton鈥檚 laws of motion.

(b) Real ropes stretch under such forces. What force would be exerted on the car if the angle increases to 7.00掳 and you still apply the force found in part (a) to its center?

Newton鈥檚 third law of motion tells us that forces always occur in pairs of equal and opposite magnitude. Explain how the choice of the 鈥渟ystem of interest鈥 affects whether one such pair of forces cancels.

(a) Calculate the tension in a vertical strand of spider web if a spider of mass 8.00脳10鈭5 kg hangs motionless on it.

(b) Calculate the tension in a horizontal strand of spider web if the same spider sits motionless in the middle of it, much like the tightrope walker in Figure 4.17. The strand sags at an angle of 12潞 below the horizontal. Compare this with the tension in the vertical strand (find their ratio).

Consider the tension in an elevator cable during the time the elevator starts from rest and accelerates its load upward to some cruising velocity. Taking the elevator and its load to be the system of interest, draw a free-body diagram. Then calculate the tension in the cable. Among the things to consider are the mass of the elevator and its load, the final velocity, and the time taken to reach that velocity.

A brave but inadequate rugby player is being pushed backward by an opposing player who is exerting a force of 800 N on him. The mass of the losing player plus equipment is 90.0 kg, and he is accelerating at 1.20 m/s2 backward. (a) What is the force of friction between the losing player鈥檚 feet and the grass? (b) What force does the winning player exert on the ground to move forward if his mass plus equipment is 110 kg?

(c) Draw a sketch of the situation showing the system of interest used to solve each part. For this situation, draw a free-body diagram and write the net force equation.
