Hold your hand out with your elbow at your side and your forearm parallel to the ground. You should notice your bicep muscle fle

xing in order to keep your forearm in equilibrium in this position, working against the force of gravity. To maintain this equilibrium, how does the force that your bicep exerts on the forearm compare with the force of gravity acting on the forearm?

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall consider the balance of forearm . The weight is balanced by tension created in the bicep of forearm.

The weight of forearm will act downward . Let it be W. Tension T  of bicep will pull the forearm upwards . Bicep muscle is attached at a point between palm and elbow. Its other end is attached with hind arm . If we hold the forearm parallel to ground , weight acts vertically downwards and tension in bicep makes some angle with the vertical . Let it be θ.

Vertical component of tension T

= T cos θ . It will balance W .

T cos θ = W

T = W / cos θ

the value of cos θ will always be less than 1.

so T > W . or

tension in bicep is more than weight of forearm.

What is the magnitude of the magnetic dipole moment of the bar magnet
Annette [7]

The magnitude of the magnetic dipole moment of the bar magnet is 1.2 Am²

<h3> Magnetic dipole moment of the bar magnet</h3>

The magnitude of the magnetic dipole moment of the bar magnet at distance from its axis is calculated as follows;

B = \frac{2\mu_0m}{4\pi r^3} \\\\m = \frac{4\pi r^3 B}{2\mu_0}

where;

  • B is magnetic field
  • m is dipole moment
  • μ is permeability of free space

m = (4π x 0.1³ x 2.4 x 10⁻⁴)/(2 x 4π x 10⁻⁷)

m = 1.2 Am²

The complete question is below:

What is the magnitude of the magnetic dipole moment of the bar magnet from 0.1 m of its axis and magnetic field strength of 2.4 x 10⁻⁴ T.

A rocket has landed on Planet X, which has half the radius of Earth. An astronaut onboard the rocket weighs twice as much on Pla
Burka [1]

Explanation:

Let acceleration due to Gravity for a planet is given by:

g_X=GM/R^2

Here,g_X = 2g

Escape velocity is given by:

v =\sqrt{ \frac{2GM} {R}} = \sqrt{2aR}

Here, R=R_earth/2

and g_X = 2g

Therefore,v=\sqrt(2(2g)(R/2))=v_0

Which of the following is/are ALWAYS true concerning collision and transition state theory?
Scrat [10]

Answer:

1) Transition states are short-lived

Explanation:

Transition state theory explains the rates of elementary chemical reactions. It assumes a quasi-equilibrium between reactants and activated transition state complexes.

The following are the characteristics of transition states

  • Instability
  • Ill-defined
  • High energy
  • short-lived

The species that must collide for the reaction to occur are shown by the mechanism of reaction and not the balanced reaction itself

Intermediates are consumed in each step of the overall reaction, they are not short lived

Determine W (or fuel energy) required to launch a satellite of mass m at rest from a launching pad placed at the surface earth,
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

5. 9GmM/(10R)

Explanation:

m is the mass of the satellite

M is the mass of the earth

W is the energy required to launch the satellite

Energy at earth surface = Potential energy (PE) + W

W = Energy at earth surface - Potential energy (PE)

But PE = -\frac{GMm}{R}

Therefore: W = Energy at earth surface - \frac{GMm}{R}

Energy at earth surface (E) at an altitude of 5R = -\frac{GMm}{5r} +\frac{1}{2}mV^2

But V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{5R} }

Therefore: E=-\frac{GMm}{5R}+\frac{1}{2}m(\sqrt{\frac{GM}{5R} } )^2=  -\frac{GMm}{5R}+\frac{GMm}{10R}  = -\frac{GMm}{10R}

W = E - PE

W=-\frac{GMm}{10R}-(-\frac{GMm}{R})=-\frac{GMm}{10R}+\frac{GMm}{R}=\frac{9GMm}{10R} \\W=\frac{9GMm}{10R}
