Sprinters push off from the ball of their foot, then bend their knee to bring their foot up close to the body as they swing thei

r leg forward for the next stride. Why is this an effective strategy for running fast?

There are two interchangeable concepts that can be applied to this theory. The first one is the moment of Inertia and the second the perioricity. When the runners put their leg forward they reduce their moment of inertia allowing their center of mass to maintain the speed they carry and not waste energy. In this way when they swing, the leg begins to act as a kind of pendulum, and remember that the pendulum is directly proportional to the length, that is,

T = 2 \pi \sqrt {l / g}

In this way, by bringing their legs closer they reduce the distance and make the period shorter.

Which is a more objective measurement, sound intensity or loudness, and why? 1. sound intensity is exactly same as loudness. 2.
fgiga [73]
The correct answer is:
<span>2. sound intensity is a more objective and physical attribute of a sound wave because loudness can vary from person to person

indeed, sound intensity is a measurable quantity, and so it is objective, while loudness is the subjective perception of the sound level, so it varies from person to person.</span>

what is the magnitude of the vector described below? 13 m/s to the east a. east b. meters per second c. 13 m/s d. meters
Katen [24]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Magnitude of any quantity is the measurable value of the quantity. While the direction of the given quantity is the specific pointing direction of position or the angle at which it move.

The magnitude of the vector described below? 13 m/s to the east will be 13 m/s

While the direction will be eastward.

Therefore, the magnitude is 13 m/s

The correct answer is option C

A thin soap bubble of index of refraction 1.33 is viewed with light of wavelength 550.0nm and appears very bright. Predict a pos
faust18 [17]

Answer:

The possible thickness of the soap bubble = 1.034\times 10^{-7}\ m.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Refractive index of the soap bubble, \mu=1.33.
  • Wavelength of the light taken, \lambda = 550.0\ nm = 550.0\times 10^{-9}\ m.

Let the thickness of the soap bubble be t.

It is given that the soap bubble appears very bright, it means, there is a constructive interference takes place.

For the constructive interference of light through a thin film ( soap bubble), the condition of constructive interference is given as:

2\mu t=\left ( m+\dfrac 12 \right )\lambda.

where m is the order of constructive interference.

Since the soap bubble is appearing very bright, the order should be 0, as 0^{th} order interference has maximum intensity.

Thus,

2\mu t=\left (0+\dfrac 12\right )\lambda\\t=\dfrac{\lambda}{4\mu}\\\ \ = \dfrac{550\times 10^{-9}}{4\times 1.33}\\\ \ = 1.034\times 10^{-7}\ m.

It is the possible thickness of the soap bubble.
