An average person can reach a maximum height of about 60 cm when jumping straight up from a crouched position. During the jump itself, the person's body from the knees up typically rises a distance of around 50 cm. To keep the calculations simple and yet get a reasonable result, assume that the entire body rises this much during the jump.
I need to answer this:
a) With what initial speed does the person leave the ground to reach a height of 60 cm?
and
b) In terms of this jumper's weight W , what force does the ground exert on him or her during the jump?

Pl asaaap ! match the term to the correct description. a type of wave that transfers energy where the particles in the medium move perpendicular to the direction in which the energy is traveling. a type of wave that transfers energy where the particles in the medium move parallel to the direction in which the energy is traveling. movement that is back and forth, like an equal sign = a type of wave that transfers energy where the particles in the medium move in a circle motion while the energy travels left or right. movement that is like a t transfers energy from one location to another 1. wave 2. parallel movement 3. perpendicular movement 4. transverse wave 5. longitudinal wave 6. surface wave

Uranium has two naturally occurring isotopes. 238u has a natural abundance of 99.3% and 235u has an abundance of 0.7%. it is the rarer 235u that is needed for nuclear reactors. the isotopes are separated by forming uranium hexafluoride uf6, which is a gas, then allowing it to diffuse through a series of porous membranes. 235uf6 has a slightly larger rms speed than 238uf6 and diffuses slightly faster. many repetitions of this procedure gradually separate the two isotopes. what is the ratio of the rms speed of 235uf6 to that of 238uf6? express your answer to five significant figures.
