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.

If you place a paper clip very close to a magnet, the paper clip
Alik [6]
The answer is “D. all of the above”!

Metal from the paper clip is attracted to the magnet, so it will naturally move toward and stick to the magnet. This will cause the paper clip to temporarily become a magnet for other metals. I hope this helped!

If a sound with frequency fs is produced by a source traveling along a line with speed vs. If an observer is traveling with spee
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

457.81 Hz

Explanation:

From the question, it is stated that it is a question under Doppler effect.

As a result, we use this form

fo = (c + vo) / (c - vs) × fs

fo = observed frequency by observer =?

c = speed of sound = 332 m/s

vo = velocity of observer relative to source = 45 m/s

vs = velocity of source relative to observer = - 46 m/s ( it is taking a negative sign because the velocity of the source is in opposite direction to the observer).

fs = frequency of sound wave by source = 459 Hz

By substituting the the values to the equation, we have

fo = (332 + 45) / (332 - (-46)) × 459

fo = (377/ 332 + 46) × 459

fo = (377/ 378) × 459

fo = 0.9974 × 459

fo = 457.81 Hz
