How does the tension in your arms compare when you let yourself dangle motionless by both arms and by one arm

Physics
1 answer:
PolarNik [594]2 years ago
6 0

When you support yourself with two arms, the tension in each arm is half of the tension you experience when you support your weight with only one arm.

The tension in your arm is directly proportional to the weight of your body.

T = W = mg

When you support your weight with your two arms;

  • the upward force balancing the downward force due to the weight of your body will be distributed equally in both arms.

Tension \ in \ each \ arm = \frac{Total \ weight \ of \ your \ body}{2}

When you support the weight of your body with one arm,

  • the upward force balancing the downward force due to your weight will be on only one arm

Tension \ in \ the \ one \ arm = Total \ weight \ of \ your \ body

Thus, when you support yourself with two arms, the tension in each arm is half of the tension you experience when you support your weight with only one arm.

What is the centripetal acceleration of the earth as it travels around the sun when Earth has an orbital radius of 1.5 x 10^11 m
masya89 [10]

Answer: 0.0058 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration a_{C} is calculated by the following equation:

a_{C}=\frac{V^{2}}{r}

Where:

V=29.7 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 m}{1 km}=29700 m/s is the Earth's orbital speed

r=1.5(10)^{11} m is the orbital radius

a_{C}=\frac{(29700 m/s)^{2}}{1.5(10)^{11} m}

a_{C}=0.0058 m/s^{2}
