During instruction on parachuting, rookies are told to flex their knees while landing. Determine the force of impact on an 80. kg parachutist falling at a terminal velocity of 10
m/s who flexes her knees and takes 0.80 s to land. Consider the case where the rookie
does not flex his legs, and stops in 0.050 s. How much force is applied in this case?

You are traveling in a car going at a constant speed of 100km/h down a long, straight highway. you pass another car going in the same direction which is traveling at a constant speed of 80km/h. as measured from your car's reference frame this other car is traveling at −20km/h. what is the acceleration of your car as measured from the other car's reference frame? what is the acceleration of the other car as measured from your car's reference frame?

Convection currents are caused by differences in what two things?

Athin nonconducting rod with a uniform distribution of positive charge q is bent into a circle of radius r. the central perpendicular axis through the ring is a z-axis, with the origin at the center of the ring. a) what is the magnitude of the electric field due to the rod at z = 0? n/c (b) what is the magnitude of the electric field due to the rod at z = infinity? n/c (c) in terms of r, at what positive value of z is that magnitude maximum? r (d) if r = 4.00 cm and q = 9.00 µc, what is the maximum magnitude? n/c
