Answer:

F_1= Mg- \frac{2Mv^2L}{Rd}

and

F_2=\frac{2Mv^2L}{Rd}

Explanation:

distance of Center of mass from his feet = L

Mass of man = M

Radius of turn = R

Speed = v

distance between the feet =d

Centrifugal force = M×v×v/R = F

Moment due to this force = FL

now as per the situation in the question

force on feet = Force on feet 1 + force on feet 2 = F1 + F2 = Mg

Now, balancing the moment we get by taking moment about feet 2

moment about feet 2 ( outward in the turn) = moment due to centrifugal force ( + ve ) + moment due to weight ( -ve ) + moment due to normal on foot 1 ( + ve) = 0

⇒\frac{Mv^2L}{r} -\frac{Mgd}{2}+\frac{F_1 d}{2} = 0\

solving the above equation we get

F_1= Mg- \frac{2Mv^2L}{Rd}

therefore,

F_2=\frac{2Mv^2L}{Rd}

Tomtit [17]

KE = 8887.5 J

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

speed = 15 m/s

weight = 79 kg

Required

KE-Kinetic energy

Solution

Energy is the ability to do work  

Energy because its motion is expressed as Kinetic energy (KE) which can be formulated as:  

\large {\boxed {\bold {KE = \frac {1} {2} mv ^ 2}}}

Input the value :

KE = 1/2 x 79 kg x 15² m/s²

KE = 8887.5 J

A slender, uniform metal rod of mass M and length lis pivoted without friction about an axis through its midpoint andperpendicul
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Moment of inertia of the metal rod pivoted in the middle

= M l² / 12

If the spring is compressed by small distance x twisting the rod by angle θ

restoring force by spring

= k x

moment of torque  about axis

= k x l /2

= k θ( l /2 )²     ( x / .5 l = θ )

=

moment of torque = moment of inertia of  rod  x angular acceleration

k θ( l /2 )²   = M l² / 12 d²θ/dt²

d²θ/dt² = 3 k/M  θ

acceleration =  ω² θ

ω² = 3 k/M

ω = √ 3 k / M

Why pressure above the surface is greater than in the air​
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels. ... Since most of the atmosphere's molecules are held close to the earth's surface by the force of gravity, air pressure decreases rapidly at first, then more slowly at higher levels.

Moving the probe 1 cm towards the non-grounded electrode changes the value the potential from about 0.90 V to about 1.2 V. Expla
svp [43]

Answer:

-30 N/C

Explanation:

Since the potential changes from 0.90 V to 1.2 V when I move the probe 1 cm closer to the non-grounded electrode, the electric field is the gradient between the two points is given by E = -ΔV/Δx where ΔV = change in electric potential and Δx = distance of potential change = 1 cm = 0.01 m

Now ΔV = final potential - initial potential = 1.2 V - 0.90 V = 0.30 V

Since E = -ΔV/Δx

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

E = -ΔV/Δx

E = -0.30 V/0.01 m

E = -30 V/m

Since 1 V/m = 1 N/C.

E = -30 N/C

So, the average electric field is -30 N/C
