|| BIO A standing vertical Jump, NFL player Gerald Sensabaugh recorded a 45 inch standing vertical Jump at the 2005 NFL Combine, at that time the highest for any NFL player in the history of the Combine. Sensabaugh weighed about 200 lb When he set the record (a) What was his speed as he left the floor? (b) If the jump motion took 0.300 s, what were the magnitude and direction of his acceleration (assuming it to be constant) while he was pushing against the floor? (s) Draw a free-body diagram of Sensabaugh during the jump. (d) Use Newton’s laws and the results of part (b) to calculate the normal force on his feet as he jumped.

- A car is at rest at the top of a driveway that has a slope of 18.4 degrees. Unbeknownst to the owner, the brake of the car is released. (a) Find the acceleration (in m/s/s) of the car down the driveway. m/s/s (b) Find the time (in seconds) it takes the car to reach the street 7.31 m away (as measured along the incline). sarrow_forwardDecont M ts. Using Newton's second law to calculate the acceleration of a key hanging in a car. You tape one end of a piece of string to the ceiling light of your car and hang a key with mass m on the other end of the string, A protractor taped to the light allows you to the angle the string makes with the vertical. Your friend drives the car while you make measurements. When the car has a constant acceleration with magnitude a toward the right, the string hangs at rest (relative to the car), making an angle ß with the vertical. (a) Derive an expression for the acceleration a in terms of the mass m and the measured angle B. (b) In particular, what is a when B = 45°? When B=0? Show your work that leads to your answer. Explain each step in your work to get the full credit. The equation with no ts. Calculate the magnitude and explanation will get your answer zero point.
