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.

A truck on a straight road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00m/s^2 until it reaches a speed of 20.0m/s. Then the truck trave
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Time to reach the speed of 20 m/s with an acceleration of 2 m/s² can be calculated as follows .

v = u + a t

20 = 0 + 2 t

t = 20 /2 = 10 s .

Total time = 10 s + 20 s + 5 s = 35 s .

b) Average velocity = Total distance travelled / total time

Distance travelled in first 10 s

S₁ = ut + 1/2 a t²

= 0 + .5 x 2 x 10²

= 100 m

Distance travelled in next 20 s

S₂= 20s x 20 m/s  = 400 m

Distance travelled in last 5 s .

deceleration in last 5 s

v = u + at

0 = 20 m/s + a x 5

a = - 4 m/s²

v² = u² - 2 a s

0 = (20 m/s)² - 2 x 4 m/s² x s

s = 50 m

S₃ = 50 m

Total distance = S₁ + S₂ + S₃

= 100 m + 400 m + 50 m

= 550 m .

Average velocity = 550 m / 35 s

= 15.71 m /s .

Consider two less-than-desirable options.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The force would be the same in both cases - option C.

Explanation:

The change in momentum is known as an impulse. In the two cases under consideration, the change in momentum is the same, thus impulse for both cases is the same.

Impulse is the average force multiplied by time interval.

I = F(average)*ΔT. Where F(average) is the average force and ΔT is the time interval.

The average force in both cases is the same since the collision time is the same.

Thus option C is the correct answer.

ONLINE CALCULATOR .A force of 187 pounds makes an angle of 73 degrees 36 ' with a second force. The resultant of the two forces
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The magnitudes of the second force is   Z = 129.9 N

The magnitudes of the  resultant force is   R = 256.047 N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The force is  F = 187 \ lb

     The angle made with second force \theta_o = 73 ^o 36' =  73 + \frac{36}{60}  =  73.6^o

     The angle between the resultant force and the first force \theta _1  = 29 ^o 1 ' = 29 + \frac{1}{60}  = 29.0167^o

For us to solve problem we are going to assume that

     The magnitude of the second force is  Z N

     The magnitude of the resultant force is R N

According to Sine rule

                \frac{F}{sin (\theta _o - \theta_1 }  = \frac{Z}{\theta _1}

Substituting values

             \frac{187}{sin(73.3 - 29.01667)} =\frac{Z}{sin (29.01667)}  

             267.82 =\frac{Z}{0.4851}  

              Z = 129.9 N

According to cosine rule

       R = \sqrt{F ^2 + Z^2 + 2(F) (Z) cos (\theta _o) }

Substituting values

     R = \sqrt{187^2 + 129.9 ^2  + 2 (187 ) (129.9) cos (73.6)}

     R = 256.047 N

Which of the following are true about a "simple compressible system"? It cannot be a mixture of different substances (e.g. oxyge
fomenos

Explanation:

The volume of a simple compressible system is not fixed. At a state of equilibrium, there should be uniformity in the entire system.

From the question we have here, these are the correct options:

1. It cannot be a mixture of different substances (e.g. oxygen and nitrogent)

2. It can be composed of any phases of a substance: solid, liquid, and/or gas

3. It's state is specified if given two independent, intensive thermodynamic properties.

The axle of an automobile is acted upon by the forces and couple shown. knowing that the diameter of the solid axle is 32 mm, de
saul85 [17]

First we need to convert the mm to inches to make our computation easier.

1mm = 0.0393701

32mm * 0.0393701 = 1.25 in

 

Solution:

C = 1/2d = ½ (1.25) = 0.625 in^4

 

Tension: tension = Te/J = 2T/ piC^3

= (2)(2500)/pi (0.0625)^3 = 6.519 x 10^3 psi = 6.519 ksi

 

Bending:

I = pi/4 * c^4 = 119.842 x 10^-3 in^4

M = (5)(600) = 3600 lb in

G = My/I = (3600)(0.625)/119.842 x 10^-3 = -18.775 x 10^2 psi = -18.775ksi

 

Gx = -18.775 ksi

Gy = 0

Txy = 6.519 ksi

 

G ave – ½ (Gx + Gy) = -9.387 ksi
R = sqrt (Gx – Gy/2)^2 + Txy^2 = sqrt(-9.387)^2 + (6.519)^2 = 11.429 ksi

 

1.       G1 = Gave + R = -9/387 + 11.429 = 2.04 ksi

G2 = Gave - R = -9/387 - 11.429 = -20.8

 

Tan 2ϴp = 2txy/Gx – Gy = 2(6.519)/-9.387 = -1.3889

ϴp = -27.1 degrees and 62.9 degrees

 

 

2.       Tmax = R = 11.43 ksi

R = sqrt (Gx – Gy/2)^2 + Txy^2 = sqrt(-9.387)^2 + (6.519)^2 = 11.429 ksi
