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.

Answer: The Electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two charges shows that the Newton's third law applies to electrostatic forces.

Explanation: Consider two Oppositely charged charges separated by distance d.

The electrostatic force exerted by charge 1 on charge 2 is.

By Coulomb's Law :

               F1  = k \frac{Q1 Q2}{d2}.....................................(1)

The electrostatic force exerted by charge 2 on charge 1 is.

              F2  = - k \frac{Q1 Q2}{d2} ................................. (2)

negative sign shows that force are in opposite direction.

 

From Equation 1 and 2

              F1 = - F2

Which implies Newton Third law.

A single loop of nickel wire, lying flat in a plane, has an area of 7.40 cm^2 and a resistance of 2.40 Ω. A uniform magnetic fie
ale4655 [162]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Area of nickel wire, A=7.4\ cm^2=7.4\times 10^{-4}\ m^2

Resistance of the wire, R = 2.4 ohms

Initial value of magnetic field, B_1=0.5\ T

Final magnetic field, B_2=3\ T

Time, t = 1.12 s

Let I is the induced current in the loop of wire over this time. Te emf induced in the wire is given by Faraday's law as :

\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}

\epsilon=-\dfrac{d(BA)}{dt}

\epsilon=-A\dfrac{d(B)}{dt}

\epsilon=-A\dfrac{B_2-B_1}{t}

\epsilon=-7.4\times 10^{-4}\times \dfrac{3-0.5}{1.12}

\epsilon=1.65\times 10^{-3}\ V

Induced current in the loop of wire is given by :

I=\dfrac{\epsilon}{R}

I=\dfrac{1.65\times 10^{-3}}{2.4}

I=6.87\times 10^{-4}\ A

So, the induced current in the loop of wire over this time is 6.87\times 10^{-4}\ A. Hence, this is the required solution.

A car has an acceleration of -5 m/s^2. Describe the car’s motion
AlladinOne [14]

Explanation:

because the acceleration is negative, this indicates a deceleration (or slowing down) . Hence we can say that:

The car is decelerating (slowing down), i.e its velocity is decreasing, at a constant rate of 5m/s².
