The maximum energy a bone can absorb without breaking is surprisingly small. For a healthy human of mass 59 kg , experimental data show that the leg bones can absorb about 200 J . Part A From what maximum height could a person jump and land rigidly upright on both feet without breaking his legs

Explanation:

In this problem we want to solve for the height given the potential energy

the potential energy is the energy possessed  by a body by virtual of it position.

given data

mass m=59kg

PE(potential energy)= 200J

Height h=?

assuming g=9.81,/s^2

we know that the expression for potential energy is

PE=mgh

substituting we have

200=59*9.81*h

200=578.79h

divide both sides by 578.79

h=200/578.79

h=0.35m

Therefore the height is 0.35m

  the grams     of oxygen gas   that can be produced     is 20.6   grams of o₂

calculation

2liclo₃ →   2 licl + 3 o₂

step 1:   find the moles of liclo₃

moles = mass÷ molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of liclo₃ =6.9 +35.5   +(16 x3) =90.4 g/mol

moles=38.7 g÷90.4 g/mol=0.4281   moles

step 2:   use the   mole ratio   to calculate the moles of o2

from equation above, liclo₃: o₂   is 2: 3  

therefore the moles of   o₂=0.4281 moles x3/2 =0.6422   moles

step 3: find mass   of o₂

mass= moles x molar mass

from periodic table the   molar mass of   o₂ = 16 x2= 32 g/mol

mass=0.6422   moles   x   32 g/mol = 20.6 grams of o₂
