What are the physics terms behind watching TV?

Physics

GalinKa [24]3 years ago

Everyone knows that one of their favorite past times is sitting in front of the television and watching movies, shows, or playing video games. However with this almost motionless, lazy activity comes a great deal of static physics and mechanics.

When you are sitting down enjoying whatever show it is you may be watching, you actually have several forces acting on you concurrently. For example, by sitting on the couch with no extra weight on you, your weight is equivalent to the normal force, or the force of the couch on you. In addition to the force of the couch of you, if you are leaning on an arm or laying down, a similar force acts on you, except at an angle or incline. The general rule for laying on the couch watching television is that whatever force you exert on an object, that object exerts the same force in the opposite direction, or 180 degrees around.

A star is a ___ that emits energy produced by nuclear reactions in its interior.
grigory [225]

A star is a large ball of gas that emits energy produced by nuclear reactions in the star's interior. Much of this energy is emitted as electromagnetic radiation, including visible light. Light emitted by stars enables other objects in the universe to be seen by reflection.

A tennis ball is hit into the air with a racket. When is the balls kinetic energy the greatest?
madam [21]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is maximum when the player hits the ball.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy =\frac{1}{2} mv^2, where m is the mass and v is the velocity.

So kinetic energy is proportional to square of velocity.

Velocity is maximum when the player hits the ball.

So kinetic energy is maximum when the player hits the ball.

A uniform disk, a thin hoop, and a uniform sphere, all with the same mass and same outer radius, are each free to rotate about a
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

4 hoop, disk, sphere

Explanation:

Because

We are given data that

Hoop, disk, sphere have Same mass and radius

So let

And Initial angular velocity, = 0

The Force on each be F

And Time = t

Also let

Radius of each = r

So let's find the inertia shall we!!

I1 = m r² /2

= 0.5 mr² the his is for dis

I2 = m r² for hoop

And

Moment of inertia of sphere wiil be

I3 = (2/5) mr²

= 0.4 mr²

So

ωf = ωi + α t

= 0 + ( τ / I ) t

= ( F r / I ) t

So we can see that

ωf is inversely proportional to moment of inertia.

And so we take the

Order of I ( least to greatest ) :

I3 (sphere) , I1 (disk) , I2 (hoop) , ,

Order of ωf: ( least to greatest)

That of omega xf is the reverse of inertial so

hoop, disk, sphere

Option - 4

In a crash test, a truck with mass 2100 kg traveling at 22 m/s smashes head-on into a concrete wall without rebounding. The fron
slega [8]

Answer:

a)   v_average = 11 m / s, b)  t = 0.0627 s

, c)    F = 7.37 10⁵ N

, d)   F / W = 35.8

Explanation:

a) truck speed can be found with kinematics

         v² = v₀² - 2 a x

The fine speed zeroes them

           a = v₀² / 2x

           a = 22²/2 0.69

           a = 350.72 m / s²

The average speed is

           v_average = (v + v₀) / 2

           v_average = (22 + 0) / 2

           v_average = 11 m / s

b) The average time

          v = v₀ - a t

          t = v₀ / a

          t = 22 / 350.72

          t = 0.0627 s

c) The force can be found with Newton's second law

             F = m a

             F = 2100 350.72

             F = 7.37 10⁵ N

.d) the ratio of this force to weight

             F / W = 7.37 10⁵ / (2100 9.8)

             F / W = 35.8

.e) Several approaches will be made:

- the resistance of air and tires is neglected

- It is despised that the force is not constant in time

- Depreciation of materials deformation during the crash
