Problem 10.64 the maximum energy a bone can absorb without breaking is surprisingly small. for a healthy human of mass 67 kg , experimental data show that the leg bones can absorb about 200 j . part a from what maximum height could a person jump and land rigidly upright on both feet without breaking his legs? assume that all the energy is absorbed in the leg bones in a rigid landing. neglect any friction.

h = 0.30 m

Explanation:

A person jumping from height h would possess potential energy = m g h

which will convert completely into kinetic energy as person hits the ground. Now, the maximum energy absorbed by the person can be = 200 J

m = 67 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

⇒ m g h = 200 J

⇒ h = 200 J / (67 kg × 9.8 m/s²) = 0.30 m

Hence, a person can land safely on both legs without breaking them from a height of 0.30 m only.

the five characteristics of adolescence are biological growth and development, and undefined status, increased decision making, increased pressure and the search of self.

one person pulls 90n one way and the other has 100n pulling the other way.

so the net force = 90 - 100 = -10n,

or the ans can be 10n if the picture shows -90n and 100n instead.
