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}

Define compound and list two examples.
Liono4ka [1.6K]
A compound is a substance that consists of two or more elements, which is chemically combined, meaning that it could only be split by chemical means. 

Examples:-

- NaCl is salt, chemically combined of Sodium and Chloride. 

- H2O is water, chemically combined of Hydrogen and oxygen.

A soccer player extends her lower leg in a kicking motion by exerting a force with the muscle above the knee in the front of her
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

10.09 N

Explanation:

Analogously to Newton's second law, torque can be defined as:

\tau=I\alpha

Here, I is the moment of inertia and \alpha is the angular acceleration. We have:

\tau=(0.65kg*m^2)(29.5\frac{rad}{s^2})\\\tau=19.18N*m

Torque is the vector product of the position vector of the point at which the force is applied by the force vector:

\vec{\tau}=\vec{r}\times \vec{F}

Since the effective lever arm is perpendicular to the force, the angle between them is 90^\circ. The magnitud of this vector product is defined as:

\tau=rFsen\theta.

Solving for F and replacing the known values:

F=\frac{\tau}{rsen\theta}\\F=\frac{19.18N*m}{1.9m(sen90^\circ)}\\F=10.09N
