Peter was holding a Human Physiology textbook that weighs about 4lbs with his non- writing arm for one minute. His elbow remaine

d exactly at a 45° isometric position. He did not complain of any muscle fatigue or muscle weakness. a) i. Is the number of activated motor units stay the same while he was holding the book for two minutes? (0.5 pt) ii. Why? (0.5 pt) Increasing the period Peter is holding the texting will only cause the motor units to fire more frequently to keep the muscles from relaxing. b) i. Are the same motor units activated while he was holding the book for two minutes? (0.5 pt) ii. Why? (0.5 pt)

4 0

Answer:

a

When peter held the book for one minute the rate at which motor unites are fired increase steeply but as the duration increases the increese in the rate at which it is being fired becomes linear so the number of activated motors stay the same but are being activated at a more rapidly

b

The same motors are activated whilest he is hold the book for 2 minutes this is because for peter to hold the book in one fixed position one specific motor units  need to be activated

Note changing the motor unites would change the positon of the hand

A 50 kg boy running with a velocity of 6 m/s passes by a 2000 kg truck at rest. Which one has greater momentum, the truck or the
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

The boy has a greater momentum

Explanation:

The reason why the boy has a greater momentum is because the truck is at rest so it isn’t moving and momentum has to do with the quantity of motion

Estimate the kinetic energy of the earth with respect to the sun as the sum of two terms.
nekit [7.7K]

The definition of kinetic energy allows to find the result for the relationship between the energy of the sun and the Earth is:

  • The kinetic energy ratio is   \frac{K_{Sum} }{K_{Earth}} = 5.3 \ 10^2
<h3 /><h3 /><h3> Kinetic enrgy.</h3>

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the movement of bodies, it is given by the relation

          K = ½ m v²

where K is the kinetic energy, m the mass of the body and v the velocity of the body.

In a compound motion it is common to separate energy into parts to simplify calculations.

  • Translational kinetic energy. Due to the linear movement of the body

            K_{tras} =\frac{1}{2} m v^2

  • Rotational kinetic energy. Due to the rotational movement of the body.

            K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2} I w^2

Where I is the inrtia momentum and w the angular velocity.

They indicate that we compare the kinetic energy of the sun and the Earth.

The Earth has two movements, one of rotation about its axis with a period of T = 24 h and one of translation with respect to the Sun with a period of T= 365 days, therefore the kinetic energy of the Earth.

           K_{earth} = K_{tras} + K_{rot}

Linear and rotational speed are related.

           v = w r

The Earth is an almost spherical body therefore the moment of inertia of a solid sphere.

           I = \frac{2}{5 }  m r^2  

Let's  subatitute.

         

          K_{earth} = \frac{1}{2} \  m r^2_{tras} w^2_{tras} + \frac{1}{2} ( \frac{2}{5} m r^2_{earth}) w^2_{rot}  

The movement of the Earth around the sun is almost circular, therefore we can use the relations of the uniform circular movement, where the angle for one revolution is 2π radians and the time is called the period.

       w = \frac{2 \pi}{T}  

Let's substitute.

        K_{earth} = \frac{1}{2} m ( \frac{2\pi r^2_{tras}}{T_{tras}})^2  \ + \frac{1}{5} m (\frac{2\pi r^2_{earth} }{T^2_{rot}})^2  

        K_{earth} = 4 \pi^2 \ m \ ( \frac{1}{2} [ \frac{r_{tras}}{T_{tras}y} ]^2 + \frac{1}{5} [ \frac{r_{rot}}{T_{rot}}]^2)  

Data for Earth are tabulated:

  • Mass m = 5.98 1024 kg
  • Radius r = 6.37 10⁶ m
  • Radius orbits tras = 1.496 10¹¹ m
  • Rotation period T_{rot} = 24 h (\frac{3600s}{1h}) = 8.64 10⁴s
  • Translation period  T_{tras} = 365 d (\frac{24h}{1 d}) (\frac{3600s}{1h}) = 3.15 10⁷ s

Let's calculate.

        K_{earth} = 4 \pi^2 5.98 \ 10^{24}  ( \frac{1}{2} ( \frac{1.496 \ 10^{11}}{3.15 \ 10^7 } )^2  \ +  \frac{1}{5}( \frac{6.37 \ 10^6 }{8.64 \ 10^4})^2 )

        K_{earth} = 2.36 \ 10^{26 } \ (1.128 \ 10^7 + 1.087 \ 10^3)

        K_{earth}= 2.66 \ 10^{33} J

Let's analyze the kinetic energy for the Sun, this is inside the solar system therefore it has no translation movement and is approximately a sphere with a rotation period of T_{Sum} = 27 days.

The kinetic energy of the sun is;

          K_{sum} = K_{rot} =  \frac{1}{2} I w^2  

          K_{sum} = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{2}{5} M R^2) (\frac{2\pi}{T_{sum}})^2  

          K_{sum} = \frac{4\pi^2 }{5} M (\frac{R}{T_{rot}})^2  

The tabulated data for the sun are:

  • Mass m = 1,991 1030 kg.
  • Radius R = 6.96 10⁸ m
  • Period T = 27 d (\frac{24h}{1 d} ) (\frac{3600s}{1h}) = 2.33 10⁶ s

         

Let's calculate.

           

          K_{sum} = 1.40 \ 10^{36} J

The relationship of the kinetic energy of the sun and the Earth is:

        \frac{K_{sum}}{K_{earth}} = \frac{1.40 \ 10^{36}}{2.66 \ 10^{33}}  

       \frac{K_{sum}}{K_{earth}} =  5.3 \ 10^2  

In conclusion using the definition of kinetic energy we can shorten the result for the relationship between the energy of the sun and the Earth is:

  • The kinetic energy ratio is:  \frac{K_{Sum}}{K_{Earth}} = 5 \ 10^2
