Hello, I have a physics question. Thanks in advance :)
Question:
To escape a burning building, Arnold has to jump from a third-story window that is about 10.0 m above the ground. Arnold is worried about breaking his leg. The largest bone in Arnold’s leg is the femur, which has a minimum cross-sectional area of about 5.00 × 10−4 m. Arnold has a mass of 93.0 kg.
If Arnold lands on the ground with his legs stiff, and if his femur can compress only about 5.00 mm, what is the compressive stress on each femur?
If Arnold lands in deep snow, then his legs can move about 30.0 cm between the time they first hit the snow and the time he comes to a complete stop. What is the compressive stress on each femur?

However, since there are some things stored next to the wall you decide to ignore the advice and set the base of the ladder out half its length from the wall instead. The ladder is sitting on slippery old snow but It still feels safe when you start up to clear your gutters after a week of storms. After you climb on you have added your weight to the ladder. Which of these is a likely result? You go about halfway up, the bottom starts to slip away from the wall as you lean forward to hold on, the ladder rotates faster and falls down completely. You go up one rung and the base slips away from the wall. Nothing happens. It cannot slip once you are on it because your weight increases the friction. It slips a little when you first get on, so a friend adds weight to the base. Once you are near the top it is very stable and cannot slip.arrow_forward

- A person hits a tennis ball with a mass of 0.058 kg against a wall. The average component of the ball’s velocity perpendicular to the wall is 11 m/s, and the ball hits the wall every 2.1 s on average, rebounding with the opposite perpendicular velocity component.

But the fact that aluminum is cheap enough that airplanes can be made out of it is a bit of historical luck. Before the discovery of the Hall-Héroult process in 1886, aluminum was as rare and expensive as gold. What would happen if airplanes had to be made of steel? The fuselage of the Embraer E170, which can carry 78 passengers, is approximately a hollow aluminum cylinder without ends, 30.0 m long, 2.5 m wide, and 2.5 mm thick (see sketch at right). The fuselage of an airplane Suppose this fuselage was made of steel (density 7.87 g/cm") instead of aluminum (density 2.70 g/cm"), and let's say the average passenger has a mass of 82 kg. We'll also assume the engines can't lift any greater mass than they already do. Calculate the number of passengers that the Embraer E170 could carry if its fuselage was made of steel.arrow_forwardModern commercial airliners are largely made of aluminum, a light and strong metal.
