Levers
Most machines in your body are levers that consist of bones and muscles. Tendons and muscles pull on bones, making them act as levers. Joint, near where tendon is attached to bone acts as fulcrum. Muscles produce input force.

The free-fall acceleration on Mars is 3.7 m/s^2. What length of pendulum has a period of 1.0 s on Earth? What length of pendulum

NemiM [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Free fall acceleration on mars $g_{m}=3.7\ m/s^2$

Time Period of pendulum on earth $T=1\ s$

Time period of Pendulum is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

for earth

$1=2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8}}$

$L=\frac{9.8}{(2\pi )^2}$

$L=0.498\ m$

(b)For same time period on mars length is given by

$L'=\frac{g_m}{(2\pi )^2}$

$L'=\frac{3.7}{39.48}$

$L'=0.0936\ m$

$L'=9.36\ cm$

A vertical spring stretches 4.0 cm when a 12-g object is hung from it. The object is replaced with a block of mass 28 g that osc

marin [14]

Answer:

Time period of the osculation will be 0.0671 sec

Explanation:

It is given a vertical spring is stretched by 4 cm

So change in length of the spring x = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Mass which is hung from it m = 12 gram = 0.012 kg

Sprig force will be equal to weight of the mass

So $kx=mg$

$k\times 0.04=0.012\times 9.8$

k = 244.7 N/m

Now new mass is m = 28 gram = 0.028 kg

So time period with new mass will be

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

$=2\times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{0.028}{244.7}}=0.0671sec$

An ice sled powered by a rocket engine starts from rest on a large frozen lake and accelerates at 12.8 m/s2 . At t1 the rocket e

Simora [160]

Answer:4.39 s

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity $u=0$

acceleration $a=12.8 m/s^2$

velocity acquired by sled in $t_1$ time

$v=0+at$

$v=12.8t_1$

distance traveled by sled in $t_1 s$

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$(12.8t_1)^2-0=2\times 12.8\times s_1$

$s_1=6.4\cdot t_1^2$

distance traveled in $t_2$ time with velocity $v=12.8t_1$

$s_2=v\times t_2$

$s_2=12.8\times t_1\times t_2$

$s_2=12.8\cdot t_1\cdot t_2$

$s_1+s_2=5.37\times 10^3$

$6.4t_1^2+12.8t_1t_2=5370$ ----1

$t_1+t_2=97.7 s$

$t_2=97.7-t_1$

substitute the value of $t_2$ in 1

we get

$6.4t_1^2-1250.56t_1+5370=0$

thus $t_1=\frac{1250.56-1194.33}{12.8}=4.39 s$

$t_1=4.39 s$
