Suppose you want to ride your mountain bike up a steep hill. Two paths lead from the base to the top, one twice as long as the o

ther. Compared to the average force you would exert if you took the short path, the average force you exert along the longer path is 1. one third as much. 2. the same. 3. Unable to determine; it depends on the time taken. 4. one half as much. 5. one fourth as much.

Answer:

Explanation:

Assuming that both pathways are simple path without any obstacles. And let say that the friction force is negligible.

Since the upward distance are the same, the amount energy converted into potential energy should be the same. This is because the gain in potential energy is dependent on mass, gravitational force and height difference.

In this question, the height difference are the same regardless of pathways.

Therefore, the amount of work done = the amount of energy converted into potential energy

W = mgh

W= F x distance

F = W / distance

Since the height difference is the same (i.e vertical distance is equal), the Force will be equal too

Even when the head is held erect, as in the figure below, its center of mass is not directly over the principal point of support
alexandr1967 [171]

We are asked to determine the force required by the neck muscle in order to keep the head in equilibrium. To do that we will add the torques produced by the muscle force and the weight of the head. We will use torque in the clockwise direction to be negative, therefore, we have:

\Sigma T=r_{M\perp}(F_M)-r_{W\perp}(W)

Since we want to determine the forces when the system is at equilibrium this means that the total sum of torque is zero:

r_{M\perp}(F_M)-r_{W\perp}(W)=0

Now, we solve for the force of the muscle. First, we add the torque of the weight to both sides:

r_{M\perp}(F_M)=r_{W\perp}(W)

Now, we divide by the distance of the muscle:

(F_M)=\frac{r_{W\perp}(W)}{r_{M\perp}}

Now, we substitute the values:

F_M=\frac{(2.4cm)(50N)}{5.1cm}

Now, we solve the operations:

F_M=23.53N

Therefore, the force exerted by the muscles is 23.53 Newtons.

Part B. To determine the force on the pivot we will add the forces we add the vertical forces:

\Sigma F_v=F_j-F_M-W

Since there is no vertical movement the sum of vertical forces is zero:

F_j-F_M-W=0

Now, we add the force of the muscle and the weight to both sides to solve for the force on the pivot:

F_j=F_M+W

Now, we plug in the values:

F_j=23.53N+50N

Solving the operations:

F_j=73.53N

Therefore, the force is 73.53 Newtons.

A step index fiber has a numerical aperture of NA = 0.1. The refractive index of its cladding is 1.465. What is the largest core
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

diameter = 9.951 × 10^{-6} m

Explanation:

given data

NA = 0.1

refractive index = 1.465

wavelength = 1.3 μm

to find out

What is the largest core diameter for which the fiber remains single-mode

solution

we know that for single mode v number is

V ≤ 2.405

and v = \frac{2*\pi *r}{ wavelength} NA

here r is radius    

so we can say

\frac{2*\pi *r}{ wavelength} NA    = 2.405

put here value

\frac{2*\pi *r}{1.3*10^{-6}} 0.1    = 2.405

solve it we get r

r = 4.975979 × x^{-6} m

so diameter is = 2  ×  4.975979 × 10^{-6} m

diameter = 9.951 × 10^{-6} m

What is 1113.28 in a sig fig?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

6 significant figure

Explanation:

The digits 111328 all are 6 figures with no figure being zero, neither zero after the other digits. In this case, all the numbers are significant and since they are only six numbers, then this is a six significant figure. In case we add another zero after digit 8, the zero is not significant but if added either infront of 8 or 2, the zero becomes significant.
