A springboard diver intending to do a somersault brings her knees and arms closer to her body during the dive. What effect does

this have?
It makes her fall more slowly.

It decreases her moment of inertia.

It decreases her angular velocity.

It increases her angular momentum.

During the diving when a diver jumps off from platform he brings her knees and arms closer to the body

This is because when diver is in air he don't have any torque about his center of mass which shows that angular momentum of his body will remain constant during his motion in air

Now we can say product of his moment of inertia and his angular speed will remain constant always

So here if we decrease the moment of inertia of the body during our motion then angular speed will increase so that product will remain constant

and this is what the diver use during his diving

so correct answer will be

<u><em>It decreases her moment of inertia.</em></u>

A single-turn circular loop of radius 6 cm is to produce a field at its center that will just cancel the earth's field of magnit

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The current is $I = 6.68 \ A$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius of the loop is $r = 6 \ cm = 0.06 \ m$

The earth's magnetic field is $B_e = 0.7G= 0.7 G * \frac{1*10^{-4} T}{1 G} = 0.7 *10^{-4} T$

The number of turns is $N =1$

Generally the magnetic field generated by the current in the loop is mathematically represented as

$B = \frac{\mu_o * N * I}{2 r }$

Now for the earth's magnetic field to be canceled out the magnetic field generated by the loop must be equal to the magnetic field out the earth

$B = B_e$

=> $B_e = \frac{\mu_o * N * I }{ 2 * r}$

Where $\mu$ is the permeability of free space with value $\mu _o = 4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2$

$0.7 *10^{-4}= \frac{ 4\pi * 10^{-7} * 1 * I}{2 * 0.06}$

=> $I = \frac{2 * 0.06 * 0.7 *10^{-4}}{ 4\pi * 10^{-7} * 1}$

$I = 6.68 \ A$

A 5-g lead bullet traveling in 20°C air at 300 m/s strikes a flat steel plate and stops.

densk [106]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Kinetic Energy and the Energy Produced by the heat loss. In mathematical terms kinetic energy can be described as:

$KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Where,

m = Mass

v = Velocity

Replacing we have that the Total Kinetic Energy is

$KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

$KE = \frac{1}{2} (5*10^{-3})(300)^2$

$KE = 225J$

On the other hand the required Energy to heat up t melting point is

$Q_1 = mC_p \Delta T$

$Q_2 = L_f m$

Where,

m = Mass

$C_p =$ Specific Heat

$\Delta T =$ Change at temperature

$L_f =$ Latent heat of fussion

Heat required to heat up to melting point,

$Q = Q_1+Q_2$

$Q = mC_p \Delta T+L_f m$

$Q = 5*0.128*(327-20) + 5*24.7$

$Q = 310J$

The energy required to melt is larger than the kinetic energy. Therefore the heat of fusion of lead would be 327 ° C: The melting point of lead.

Proved that<br>V = u+at<br>

kondaur [170]

Answer:

$\sf Proof \ below$

Explanation:

We know that acceleration is change in velocity over time.

$\sf a=\frac{\triangle v}{t}$

$\sf a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity.

Solve for v.

Multiply both sides by t.

$\sf at=v-u$

Add u to both sides.

$\sf at + u=v$

What is the device used to detect and measure current?

dybincka [34]

The Ammeter is used to detect and measure current or amperage. Also a more common tool now used is a multimeter that detects and measures voltage, current, and resistance.

Any questions please just ask. Thank you.
