While unrealistic, we will examine the forces on a leg when one falls from a height by approximating the leg as a uniform cylinder of bone with a diameter of 2.3 cm and ignoring any shear forces. Human bone can be compressed with approximately 1.7 × 108 N/m2 before breaking. A man with a mass of 80 kg falls from a height of 4 m. Assume his acceleration once he hits the ground is constant. For these calculations, g = 10 m/s^2. Required:
a. What is his speed just before he hits the ground?
b. With how much force can the "leg" be compressed before breaking?
c. If he lands "stiff legged" and his shoes only compress 1 cm, what is the magnitude of the average force he experiences as he slows to a rest?
d. If he bends his legs as he lands, he can increase the distance over which he slows down to 50 cm. What would be the average force he experiences in this scenario?

Imagine you had to physically add electrons, one at a time, to a previously neutral conductor. you add one electron very easily, but the second electron requires more work. in your initial post to the discussion, explain why this is. also, what happens to the work needed to add the third, fourth, fifth, and subsequent electrons

During the experiment if you could triple the breakaway magnetic force with all other quantities left unchanged, what is the new value for the critical velocity if it was v0 (initial velocity), initially? (b) now if you halved the radius with all other quantities left unchanged, what is the new critical velocity if it was v0 (initial velocity), initially? (c) if during the experiment, critical velocity quadrupled with all other quantities left unchanged, what is the new breakaway force if its magnitude was initially f0,?
