A baseball pitcher throws the ball in a motion where there is rotation of the forearm about the elbow joint as well as other mov

ements. If the linear velocity of the ball relative to the elbow joint is 17.1 m/s at a distance of 0.470 m from the joint and the moment of inertia of the forearm is 0.500 kg·m^2. What is the rotational kinetic energy of the forearm?

Answer: 330.88 J

Explanation:

Given

Linear velocity of the ball, v = 17.1 m/s

Distance from the joint, d = 0.47 m

Moment of inertia, I = 0.5 kgm²

The rotational kinetic energy, KE(rot) of an object is given by

KE(rot) = 1/2Iw²

Also, the angular velocity is given

w = v/r

Firstly, we calculate the angular velocity. Since it's needed in calculating the Kinetic Energy

w = v/r

w = 17.1 / 0.47

w = 36.38 rad/s

Now, substituting the value of w, with the already given value of I in the equation, we have

KE(rot) = 1/2Iw²

KE(rot) = 1/2 * 0.5 * 36.38²

KE(rot) = 0.25 * 1323.5

KE(rot) = 330.88 J

Which one is having lesser ressistance. a 60w bulb or a 40w bulb?
Ivan
Power dissipation = (voltage across the component)² / (resistance of the component)

Since the resistance is in the denominator of the fraction in this formula for the
quantity of power dissipated, you can see that when the supply voltage is constant,
the smaller resistance dissipates more power.

So the <u>60w bulb</u> has lower resistance than the 40w bulb.

A wire carrying a 29.0 A current passes between the poles of a strong magnet such that the wire is perpendicular to the magnet's
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

2.59 T

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Current flowing through the wire, I = 29 A

Angle between the magnetic field and wire, θ = 90°

Magnetic force, F = 2.25 N

Length of wire, L = 3 cm = 0.03 m

The magnetic force, F, is related to the magnetic field, B, by the equation below:

F = I * L * B * sinθ

Inputting the given parameters:

2.25 = 29 * 0.03 * B * sin90

2.25 = 0.87 * B

=> B = 2.25/0.87

B = 2.59 T

The magnetic field strength between the poles is 2.59 T
