MCQ
Consider the following statement: When jumping from some height, you should bend your knees as you come to rest, instead of keeping your legs stiff. Which of the following relations can be useful in explaining the statement
  • A
    $\Delta \overrightarrow {{P_1}} = - \Delta \overrightarrow {{P_2}} $
  • B
    $\Delta E = - \Delta (PE + KE) = 0$
  • $\overrightarrow F \Delta t = m\Delta \overrightarrow v $
  • D
    $\Delta \overrightarrow x \propto \Delta \overrightarrow F $

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\overrightarrow F \Delta t = m\Delta \overrightarrow v $
c
(c)$\overrightarrow F \Delta t = m\Delta \overrightarrow v $  $⇒$  $F = \frac{{m\Delta \overrightarrow v }}{t}$

By doing so time of change in momentum increases and impulsive force on knees decreases.

$(A)$ The object moves on the $\mathrm{x}$-axis under a conservative force in such a way that its "speed" and "position" satisfy $v=c_1 \sqrt{c_2-x^2}$, where $\mathrm{c}_1$ and $\mathrm{c}_2$ are positive constants. $(p)$ The object executes a simple harmonic motion.
$(B)$ The object moves on the $\mathrm{x}$-axis in such a way that its velocity and its displacement from the origin satisfy $\mathrm{v}=-\mathrm{kx}$, where $\mathrm{k}$ is a positive constant. $(q)$ The object does not change its direction.
$(C)$ The object is attached to one end of a massless spring of a given spring constant. The other end of the spring is attached to the ceiling of an elevator. Initially everything is at rest. The elevator starts going upwards with a constant acceleration a. The motion of the object is observed from the elevator during the period it maintains this acceleration. $(r)$ The kinetic energy of the object keeps on decreasing.
$(D)$ The object is projected from the earth's surface vertically upwards with a speed $2 \sqrt{\mathrm{GM}_e / R_e}$, where, $M_e$ is the mass of the earth and $R_e$ is the radius of the earth. Neglect forces from objects other than the earth. $(s)$ The object can change its direction only once.
