You know that when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (A), the velocity is zero, which implies that the kinetic energy (KE) is zeero, so the total mechanical energy (ME) is the potential energy (PE).

And you know that the potential energy, PE, is [ 1/2 ] k (x^2)

Then, use x = A, to calculate the PE in the point where ME = PE.

ME = PE = [1/2] k (A)^2.

At half of the amplitude, x = A/2 => PE = [ 1/2] k (A/2)^2

=> PE = [1/4] { [1/2]k(A)^2 } = .[1/4] ME

So, if PE is 1/4 of ME, KE is 3/4 of ME.

And the answer is 3/4

To develop muscle tone, a woman lifts a 2.50 kg weight held in her hand. She uses her biceps muscle to flex the lower arm throug
Romashka [77]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to Torque as a function of the Force in proportion to the radius to which it is applied. In turn, we will use the concepts of energy expressed as Work, and which is described as the Torque's rate of change in proportion to angular displacement:

\tau = Fr

Where,

F = Force

r = Radius

Replacing we have that,

\tau = Fr

\tau = 21cm (\frac{1m}{100cm})* 550N

\tau = 11.55Nm

The moment of inertia is given by 2.5kg of the weight in hand by the distance squared to the joint of the body of 24 cm, therefore

I = 0.25Kg\cdot m^2 +(2.5kg)(0.24m)^2

I = 0.394kg\cdot m^2

Finally, angular acceleration is a result of the expression of torque by inertia, therefore

\tau = I\alpha \rightarrow \alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}

\alpha = \frac{11.55}{0.394}

\alpha = 29.3 rad/s^2

PART B)

The work done is equivalent to the torque applied by the distance traveled by 60 °° in radians (\pi / 3), therefore

W = \tau \theta

W = 11.5* \frac{\pi}{3}

W = 12.09J

Irina18 [472]
A. dependent variable

As the the independent variable (i.e. number of cats being sold) increases, the dependent variable (i.e. money made) will also increase. You can have 1,000,000 cats for sale and make no money, but you cannot make money without having sold some cats first.
Hope my weird example helped!

A 50.1 kg diver steps off a diving board and drops straight down into the water. The water provides an average net force of resi
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The total distance is 16.9 m

Explanation:

We understand work in physics as certain force exerted through certain distance. To reach that point below the water, the work done by the diver must be equal to the work done by the water's force of resistance. Therefore, we determine both work expressions and we solve the equation for the diver distance, which is the total distance between the diving board and the stopping point underwater.

W_{d}: work done by diver\\W_{R}: work due the force of resistance\\W_{d} = W_{R}\\F_{d}\times d_{d}=F_R \times d_{R}\\d_{d}= \frac{F_R \times d_R}{F_d}= \frac{F_R \times d_R}{m_d \times g}= \frac {1598 N \times 5.2 m}{50.1 kg \times 9.81 m/s^2}\\d_{d}= 16. 91 m
