What are some ways in which body fat can be measured

1 answer:

8 0

I only know about the Water tank which is the most accurate. You place your body in it, and weights are added I think. Somehow some measurements are gathered to get your body fat weight. Online calculators exist, as well as electronic waves that are sent int your body, the echo is recorded and analyzed.

9. A 5.0 kg block on an inclined plane is acted upon by a horizontal force of 100 N shown in the figure below. The coefficient o

Helga [31]

Answer:

A: The acceleration is 7.7 m/s up the inclined plane.

B: It will take the block 0.36 seconds to move 0.5 meters up along the inclined plane

Explanation:

Let us work with variables and set

$m=5kg\\\\F_H=100N\\\\\mu=0.3\\\\\theta=37^o.$

As shown in the attached free body diagram, we choose our coordinates such that the x-axis is parallel to the inclined plane and the y-axis is perpendicular. We do this because it greatly simplifies our calculations.

Part A:

From the free body diagram we see that the total force along the x-axis is:

$F_{tot}=mg*sin(\theta)+F_s-F_Hcos(\theta).$

Now the force of friction is $F_s=\mu*N,$ where $N$ is the normal force and from the diagram it is $F_y=mg*cos(\theta).$

Thus $F_s=\mu*N=\mu*mg*cos(\theta).$

Therefore,

$F_{tot}=mg*sin(\theta)+\mu*mg*cos(\theta)-F_Hcos(\theta)\\\\=mg(sin(\theta)+\mu*cos(\theta))-F_Hcos(\theta).$

Substituting the value for $F_H,m,\mu, and \:\theta$ we get:

$F_{tot}= -38.63N.$

Now acceleration is simply

$a=\frac{F_H}{m} =\frac{-38.63N}{5kg} =-7.7m/s.$

The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is directed up the incline.

Part B:

$d=\frac{1}{2} at^2$

Which can be rearranged to solve for t:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a} }$

Substitute the value of $d=0.50m$ and $a=7.7m/s$ and we get:

$t=0.36s.$

which is our answer.

Notice that in using the formula to calculate time we used the positive value of $a$ , because for this formula absolute value is needed.

When traveling on a two-lane highway driving 50 to 55 mph, you need a _____ gap in oncoming traffic to pass safely?

JulsSmile [24]

When travelling on a two lane highway driving 50 to 55 mph, you need a 10-12 second gap in oncoming traffic to pass safety. At 55 mph, you will travel over 800 feet in 10-12 seconds so will an oncoming vehicle. That means you need over 1600 feet which is about 1/3 of a mile to pass safety. It is harder to see and judge the speed of oncoming vehicles that are traveling 1/3 of a mile or more away from you.
