Katelyn (55 kg) is practicing a drop jump in the biomechanics lab. She steps off a plyometrics box, lands on the force plate, and immediately jumps back up into the air. Right before she hits the force plate, her vertical velocity is 3.0 m/s downwards. After leaving the ground again, her vertical velocity is 3.5 m/s upwards. Katelyn was in contact with the ground for 0.4 seconds. (a) What was the impulse exerted on Katelyn when she was on the force plate

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.

Abeverage can is made of 3004-h19 aluminum alloy (elastic modulus 69 gpa, tensile yield strength 285 mpa, density 2.72 g/cm^3). the dimensions on the can are approximated as a thin-walled cylinder with a height of 4.83 inches, diameter of 2.60 inches. empty the can has a mass of 14.2 g. determine: a. the wall thickness of the cylinder b. assuming a pinned-pinned condition what is the critical load? c. assuming a fixed-fixed condition what is the critical load?
