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 two children push horizontally, but in exactly opposite directions, on a third child in a wagon. The first child exerts a force of 75.0 N, the second a force of 90.0 N, friction is 12.0 N, and the mass of the third child plus wagon is 23.0 kg.

(a) What is the system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated?

(b) Draw a free-body diagram, including all forces acting on the system.

(c) Calculate the acceleration.

(d) What would the acceleration be if friction were 15.0 N?

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.

Commercial airplanes are sometimes pushed out of the passenger loading area by a tractor.

(a) An 1800-kg tractor exerts a force of 1.75脳104 N backward on the pavement, and the system experiences forces resisting motion that total 2400 N. If the acceleration is 0.150 m/s2, what is the mass of the airplane?

(b) Calculate the force exerted by the tractor on the airplane, assuming 2200 N of the friction is experienced by the airplane.

(c) Draw two sketches showing the systems of interest used to solve each part, including the free-body diagrams for each.

Explain, in terms of the properties of the four basic forces, why people notice the gravitational force acting on their bodies if it is such a comparatively weak force.

In Figure 4.7, the net external force on the 24-kg mower is stated to be 51 N. If the force of friction opposing the motion is 24 N, what force F (in newtons) is the person exerting on the mower? Suppose the mower is moving at 1.5 m/s when the force F is removed. How far will the mower go before stopping?
