- Please help me with this question: 1. Bob a man with a mass of 90kg, climbs up a 3.5m high tree. a.) How much work must Bob do in order to make it to the top of the tree, assuming that he begins and ends at rest? Bob now jumps out of the tree and land on the ground. b.) How fast will he be going just before he hits the ground? c.) First assume that he forgets to bend his knees. That means that he wil land hard - the cushions on his feet will make him move downward 1.6cm while coming to a stop, but that's it. How much force will he feel from the ground while he stops? d.) As you can see, that enormous force result in a everely injured Bob. So rewind, and let's assum Bob bends his knees this time. That means that the ground forced is in contact with him while he moves 0.45cm downward. Now how much force will the ground exert on Bob?arrow_forwardThe work done by a horizontal spring as it is being compressed from its unstretched position is a. positive b. negative c. either positive or negative, depending on where you start d. depends on how fast you are moving e. none of the above because work is a scalar that cannot be referred to as positive or negativearrow_forwardA 50 kg skier leaves the top of a 10 m high frictionless slope (point "a") from rest and reaches the bottom of the slope (point "") with a speed v,. He subsequently continues sliding on level ground to a full stop to a point "c" due to friction (i.e. 0.2 on the level ground). a. Write an expression for the total mechanical energy of the skier at point "a". b. Write an expression for the total mechanical energy of the skier at point "b". c. Use the Work-Energy Theorem to determine the work done from point “b" to point “c".arrow_forward
