Billy picks up a 40 lb. dumbbell (mass = 18.14 kg). The center of his hand, where the dumbbell is held, is 56 cm (0.56 m) from t
umka21 [38]

Answer:

<h2>Force due to biceps is given as</h2><h2>F = 1991.05 N</h2>

Explanation:

For balancing the force we know that

Torque due to weight hold on his hand = torque due to force applied by biceps

So here we will have

mg \times L = F \times d

so we have

18.14 \times 9.8 \times 0.56 = F \times (0.05)

F = 1991.05 N

If the period of the pendulum is tripled, what is the length of the string increased by?
Nitella [24]
The period of the pendulum doesn't determine the length of the string. 
It's the other way around.

The period of the pendulum is proportional to the square root of its length.
So if you want to triple the period, you have to make the string nine times
as long as it is now.

An apple hanging from a limb has potential energy because of its height . If it falls ,what becomes of this energy just before i
sineoko [7]

Answer: Just before its hits the ground it becomes kinetic energy and when it hits the ground it becomes in another form of energy (acoustic energy or thermal energy, for example)

Explanation:

Energy is the ability of matter to produce work in the form of movement, light, heat, among others.

In this sense, according to the Conservation of Energy principle: <em>"energy is not created or destroyed, it is transformed."</em>

So, in the case of the apple, its total energy is conserved.

When the apple is hanging from a limb, it has zero kinetic energy K_{o}=0 (because it is at rest) and has gravitational potential energy U_{o}, which depends on the mass m, the acceleration due gravity g and the height h:

U_{o}=mgh

When the apple falls, just before its hits the ground, this gravitational potential energy transforms in kinetic energy K_{1} (since the apple is moving), which depends on the mass and velocity V of the apple:

K_{1}=\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}

When the apple hits the ground, the gravitational potential energy is zero (h=0) and the kinetic energy transforms into some other form of energy (acoustic energy or thermal energy, for example).

A 2000 kg car accelerates from 0 to 25 m / s in 21.0 s. How much is the average power delivered by the motor? (1 hp = 746 W)
mash [69]

Answer: 40.2 hp

Explanation:

The mass of the car is 2000kg.

in 21 seconds, it accelerates from 0m/s to 25m/s, so the average acceleration is:

a = (25m/s)/(21s) = 1.2 m/s^2

We know that force = mass*acceleration, then:

F = 2000kg*1.2m/s^2 = 2400N.

Now, the Power can be written as:

P = W/t where W is work = F*d (force per distance) and t is time.

then we have:

P = (F*d)/t and d/t  is the average velocity, and we know the velocity v = 25m/s, so the average velocity will be (1/2)*25m/s = 12.5m/s

P = F*12.5m/s

and the force is F = 2400N

P = 2400 N*12.5m/s = 30,000 W

and we know that 1hp = 746 W

then, P = (30,000/746) hp = 40.2 hp
