AI Thread Summary
The height an athlete can jump is influenced by initial vertical velocity and gravitational force. On Mars, with its lower gravity, an athlete who can jump 1.85m on Earth would jump significantly higher. Calculations show that the jump height on Mars could exceed 3.1m, depending on the exact parameters used. The discussion emphasizes understanding the impact of gravity on jump height. This analysis highlights the fascinating differences in athletic performance between Earth and Mars.

Hello,
please Can I have some guidance for the problem:

The heigth achieved in a jump is determined by the initial vertical velocity that a jumper is able to achieve. Assuming that this is a fixed number, how high can an athlete jump on Mars if she can clear 1.85m on earth?

Thank you

Hmmm, it seems a pretty straightforward gravitation problem to me. What have you tried so far?
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
