A basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this he lowers his body 0.28 m then accelerates through this distance b forcelly straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a vertical velocity sufficient to carry him 0.92 m above the floor. For this problem use a coordinate system where up is positive. A) Calculate his velocity when he leaves the floor in m/s B) Calculate his acceleration in m/s2, while he is straightening his legs.He goes from zero to the velocity found in part(a) in a distance of 0.28 m C) Calculate the magnitude of the force he exerts on the floor to do this, in newtons, given that his mass is 112kg

A woodpecker’s brain is specially protected from large accelerations by tendon-like attachments inside the skull. While pecking on a tree, the woodpecker’s head comes to a stop from an initial velocity of 0.600 m/s in a distance of only 2.00 mm. (a) Find the acceleration in meters per second squared and in multiples of g , where g=9.80m/s2 . (b) Calculate the stopping time. (c) The tendons cradling the brain stretch, making its stopping distance 4.50 mm (greater then the head and, hence, less acceleration of the brain). What is the brain’s acceleration, expressed in multiples of g ?
When a field goal kicker kicks a football as hard as he can at 45 to the horizontal, the ball just clears the 3-m- high crossbar of the goalposts 45.7 m away. (a) What is the maximum speed the kicker can impart to the football? (b) In addition to clearing the crossbar, the football must be high enough in the air early during its flight to clear the reach of the onrushing defensive lineman. If the lineman is 4.6 m away and has a vertical reach of 2.5 m, can he block the 45.7-m field goal attempt? (c) What if the lineman is 1.0 m away?
Clay Matthews, a linebacker for the Green Bay Packers, can reach a speed of 10.0 m/s. At the start of a play, Matthews runs downfield at 45 with respect to the 50-yard line and covers 8.0 m in 1 s. He then fins straight down the field at 90 with respect to the 50-yard line for 12 m, with an elapsed time of 1.2 s. (a) What is Matthews’ final displacement from the start of the play? (b) What is his average velocity?
A basketball player is running at 5.00 m/s directly toward the basket when he jumps into the air to dunk the ball. He maintains his horizontal velocity.
