depends t what stage in the fall it is. If it is at the peak, it is fully potential. If it is in the middle, it has both. If it is at the bottom of the fall, it is completely kinetic
Answer:
the resulting angular acceleration is 15.65 rad/s²
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
force generated in the patellar tendon F = 400 N
patellar tendon attaches to the tibia at a 20° angle 3 cm( 0.03 m ) from the axis of rotation at the knee.
so Torque produced by the knee will be;
T = F × d⊥
T = 400 N × 0.03 m × sin( 20° )
T = 400 N × 0.03 m × 0.342
T = 4.104 N.m
Now, we determine the moment of inertia of the knee
I = mk²
given that; the lower leg and foot have a combined mass of 4.2kg and a given radius of gyration of 25 cm ( 0.25 m )
we substitute
I = 4.2 kg × ( 0.25 m )²
I = 4.2 kg × 0.0626 m²
I = 0.2625 kg.m²
So from the relation of Moment of inertia, Torque and angular acceleration;
T = I∝
we make angular acceleration ∝, subject of the formula
∝ = T / I
we substitute
∝ = 4.104 / 0.2625
∝ = 15.65 rad/s²
Therefore, the resulting angular acceleration is 15.65 rad/s²

-- Two satellites at the same distance, different masses:
The forces of gravity between two objects are directly
proportional to the product of the objects' masses. In
other words, the gravitational forces between the Earth
and an object on its surface are proportional to the mass of
the object. In other words, people with more mass weigh more
on the Earth, and the Earth weighs more on them.
If the satellites are both at the same distance from Earth,
then the Earth pulls on the one with more mass with greater
force, and also the one with more mass pulls on the Earth
with greater force.
-- Two satellites with the same mass, at different distances:
The forces of gravity between two objects are inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them.
In other words, the gravitational
forces between the Earth
and an object are inversely proportional
to the square of
the distance between the object and the center of the Earth.
If
the satellites both have the same mass, then the Earth
pulls on the nearer one with greater force, and also the
nearer one pulls on the Earth with greater force.
-- Resistor in a circuit when the voltage changes:
The resistance depends on how the resistor was manufactured.
Its resistance is marked on it, and doesn't change. It remains
the same whether the voltage changes, the current changes,
the time of day changes, the cost of oil changes, etc.
If you increase the voltage in the circuit where that resistor is
installed, the current through the resistor increases. If the current
remains constant, then you can be sure that somebody snuck over
to your circuit when you weren't looking, and they either installed
another resistor in series with the original one to make the total
resistance bigger, or else they snipped the original one out of the
circuit and quickly connected one with more resistance in its place.
Answer:
The answer to this question is given below in this explanation section.
Explanation:
" law of conservation of energy"
The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed only converted from one form of energy into another.This mean that a system always has a same account of a energy,unless it is added from the outside.This is particularly confusing in the case of non conversation forces,where energy is converted from ,mechanical energy into thermal energy.but the overall energy does remain the same.The only way to use energy is to transform energy from one form to another.
The amount of energy in any system than it is determined by the following equation.
Ut=Ui +W+Q
- Ut is the total internal energy of a system.
- Ui is the initial internal energy of a system.
- W is the work done by or on the system.
- Q is the heat added to or removed by the system.
It is also possible to determined the change in internal energy of the system using the equation.
ΔU=W+Q
The mechanical energy of a system increases provided their is no loss of energy due to friction.The energy would transform to kinetic energy when the speed is increasing.Te mechanical energy of a system remain constant provided their is no loss of energy due to friction.
The law of conversation of energy which say that in a closed system total energy is conserved that is it constant.
KE1 + PE1=KE2+PE2
