A gymnast's backflip is considered more difficult to do in the layout (straight body) position than in the tucked position. Why?

- The body's rotational inertia is greater in layout position than in tucked position. Because the body remains airborne for roughly the same time interval in either position, the gymnast must have much greater kinetic energy in tucked position to complete the backflip. - The body's rotational inertia is greater in tucked position than in layout position.

Answer:

The body's rotational inertia is greater in layout position than in tucked position. Because the body remains airborne for roughly the same time interval in either position, the gymnast must have much greater kinetic energy in layout position to complete the backflip.

Explanation:

A gymnast's backflip is considered more difficult to do in the layout (straight body) position than in the tucked position.

When the body is straight , its moment of rotational inertia is more than the case when he folds his body round. Hence rotational inertia ( moment of inertia x angular velocity ) is also greater. To achieve that inertia , there is need of greater imput of energy in the form of kinetic energy  which requires greater effort.

So a gymnast's backflip is considered more difficult to do in the layout (straight body) position than in the tucked position.

1. in which of the following cases is the wavelength of the emitted radiation greatest? electron jumps from third orbit to secon
Yuki888 [10]
The more energy orbits the radiation jumps the more energy it has. So if the frequency stays the same each time then the wavelength will get longer if there is more energy.

In this case the situation in which the radiation jumps the most energy orbits is when: the electron jumps from the fourth orbit to the first orbit. This will emit the longest wavelength

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Part a)

f = \frac{8}{9}

Part b)

f = \frac{120}{169}

Part c)

So from above discussion we have the result that energy loss will be more if the collision occurs with animal with more mass

Explanation:

Part a)

Let say the collision between Moose and the car is elastic collision

So here we can use momentum conservation

m_1v_{1i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

1000 v_o = 1000 v_{1f} + 500 v_{2f}

also by elastic collision condition we know that

v_{2f} - v_{1f} = v_o

now we have

2v_o = 2v_{1f} + v_o + v_{1f}

now we have

v_{1f} = \frac{v_o}{3}

Now loss in kinetic energy of the car is given as

\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}m(v_o^2 - v_{1f}^2)

\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}m(v_o^2 - \frac{v_o^2}{9})

so fractional loss in energy is given as

f = \frac{\Delta K}{K}

f = \frac{\frac{4}{9}mv_o^2}{\frac{1}{2}mv_o^2}

f = \frac{8}{9}

Part b)

Let say the collision between Camel and the car is elastic collision

So here we can use momentum conservation

m_1v_{1i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

1000 v_o = 1000 v_{1f} + 300 v_{2f}

also by elastic collision condition we know that

v_{2f} - v_{1f} = v_o

now we have

10v_o = 10v_{1f} + 3(v_o + v_{1f})

now we have

v_{1f} = \frac{7v_o}{13}

Now loss in kinetic energy of the car is given as

\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}m(v_o^2 - v_{1f}^2)

\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}m(v_o^2 - \frac{49v_o^2}{169})

so fractional loss in energy is given as

f = \frac{\Delta K}{K}

f = \frac{\frac{60}{169}mv_o^2}{\frac{1}{2}mv_o^2}

f = \frac{120}{169}

Part c)

So from above discussion we have the result that energy loss will be more if the collision occurs with animal with more mass

Which one of the following statements is true? Explain.
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

All the given option is false.

Explanation:

A)

This is not true for all the materials like composite because the Poisson ratio for composite material can be negative that is why positive tensile stress may produce positive lateral strain.

B)

This is not true for all the material because the Poisson ratio for some material can be positive  that is why positive tensile stress may produce negative lateral strain.

C)

The explanation is same as option A.

D)

This is not true for all the materials ,It is valid only up to elastic limit .After the elastic limit the strain and stress does not follow linear path.

E)

This is not true for all the materials because some materials like composite is having negative value of Young's modulus.

Therefore all the given option is false.
