Practice Questions
Question 1
A weightlifter raises a 100 N weight vertically through 2 m in 0.5 s. What is the average power output?
Question 2
A cyclist accelerates uniformly from 6 m/s to 12 m/s in 4 s. What is the displacement during this interval?
Question 3
An athlete applies a constant force for 0.01 s generating impulse $J$. If the same force is applied for 0.03 s, what is the new impulse?
Question 4
A sprinter’s force–time curve rises from 0 to 800 N in 0.2 s. What is the rate of force development (RFD)?
Question 5
A long jumper leaves the ground at 9 m/s with a takeoff angle of 18°. Ignoring air resistance, what is the approximate flight time?
