During a circus act, one performer swings upside down hanging from a trapeze holding another, also upside-down, performer by the

legs. If the upward force on the lower performer is three times her weight, how much (in m) do the bones (the femurs) in her upper legs stretch? You may assume each is equivalent to a uniform rod 31.0 cm long and 1.78 cm in radius. Her mass is 55.0 kg.

Answer: 1.65 x 10^-5 m

Explanation:

Using the equation

Delta L = (1/Y x F/A ) Lo

Y = 1.6 x 10^10 N/m^2

Lo = 0.31 m

A= pi x r^2 = pi x (0.0178m)^2 = 9.9 x 10^ - 4 m^2

Ftot = 3 x w = 3 x 55 x 9.8 = 1617N

Fleg = Ftot/2 = 1617/2 = 808.5N

Delta L = 1/1.6 x 10^10 x 808.5/9.9 x 10^-4 x 0.31

= 0.65 x 10^-10 x 81.7 x 10^4 x 0.31 = 1.65 x 10^-5 m

The fire leg is stretched by 1.65 x 10^-5 m

explain the relationship between kinetic and potential energy in the example (the pic) while using the words mechanical energy a
BigorU [14]
PE is the energy acquired by a body due to its height ! While KE is the energy acquired by the body due to its motion !

KE+PE = mechanical energy and thus mechanical energy is always conserved due to the conservation of energy which states that energy is neither created nor destroyed but only transformed !

A particle of mass m= 2.5 kg has velocity of v = 2 i m/s, when it is at the origin (0,0). Determine the z- component of the angu
melomori [17]

Answer:

please read the answer below

Explanation:

The angular momentum is given by

|\vec{L}|=|\vec{r}\ X \ \vec{p}|=m(rvsin\theta)

By taking into account the angles between the vectors r and v in each case we obtain:

a)

v=(2,0)

r=(0,1)

angle = 90°

L=(2.5kg)(1)(2\frac{m}{s})sin90\°=5.0kg\frac{m}{s}

b)

r=(0,-1)

angle = 90°

L=(2.5kg)(1)(2\frac{m}{s})sin90\°=5.0kg\frac{m}{s}

c)

r=(1,0)

angle = 0°

r and v are parallel

L = 0kgm/s

d)

r=(-1,0)

angle = 180°

r and v are parallel

L = 0kgm/s

e)

r=(1,1)

angle = 45°

L = (2.5kg)(2\frac{m}{s})(\sqrt{2})sin45\°=5kg\frac{m}{s}

f)

r=(-1,1)

angle = 45°

the same as e):

L = 5kgm/s

g)

r=(-1,-1)

angle = 135°

L=(2.5kg)(2\frac{m}{s})(\sqrt{2})sin135\°=5kg\frac{m}{s}

h)

r=(1,-1)

angle = 135°

the same as g):

L = 5kgm/s

hope this helps!!

Why does a vibraing simple pendulum not produce any sound
pashok25 [27]
<span>Human ear can hear  the lowest frequency about 20 Hz, this is 20 vibrations per second. Vibrations of pendulum are very small and frequency is less than 20 Hz, so we can't hear it.</span>
