I believe its the law of inertia
Approximately 150-200 species.
Answer:
2.5 m/s
Explanation:
The speed of the animal is given by the ratio between the distance travelled by the animal and the time elapsed:
where d is the distance travelled and t the time elapsed. Note that this quantity is also equal to the slope of the curve.
In the time interval 0-20 s, we have
d = 50 m - 0 m = 50 m
t = 20 s - 0 s = 20 s
So, the speed is
Answer:
0.37 m
Explanation:
Let the shoulder be the origin.
The center of mass of the arm bones is 0.60 m/2 = 0.30 m and the center of mass of the hand bones is 0.10 m/2 = 0.05 m since they are modeled as straight rods with uniform density and the center of mass of a rod is x = L/2 where L is the length of the rod.
The center of mass y = (m₁y₁ + m₂y₂)/(m₁ + m₂) where m₁ = mass of arm bones = 4.0 kg, y₁ = distance center of mass of arm bones from shoulder = 0.30 m, m₂ = mass of hand bones = 1.0 kg and y₂ = distance of center of mass hand bones from shoulder = x₁ + distance of center of hand bones from wrist = 0.60 m + 0.05 m = 0.65 m
Substituting these into the equation for the center of mass, we have
y = (m₁y₁ + m₂y₂)/(m₁ + m₂)
y = (4.0 kg × 0.30 m + 1.0 kg × 0.65 m)/(4.0 kg + 1.0 kg)
y = (1.20 kgm + 0.65 kgm)/5.0 kg
y = 1.85 kgm/5.0 kg
y = 0.37 m
The distance of the center of mass from the shoulder is thus y = 0.37 m
