A 56.0kg ice skater spins about a vertical axis through her body with her arms horizontally outstretched, making 2.50 turns each

second. The distance from one hand to the other is 1.5m. Biometric measurements indicate that each hand typically makes up about 1.25 % of body weight.
Part A) horizontal force must her wrist exert on her hand F=150N

Express the force in part (a) as a multiple of the weight of her hand?

Answer:

Net force = 129.4, Force as multiple of weight of her hand = 18.84

Explanation:

Given Data:

Total body weight = 56.0 kg ;

no. of turns = 2.5/second ;

hand to hand distance = 1.5m ;

weight of hand = 1.25% of body weight ;

Solution:

mass of hand = $\frac{1.25}{100}$ *56 = 0.7kg ;

radius = d/2 = 1.5/2 = 0.75m ;

Now we need to find velocity, as we know that velocity can be calculated by dividing distance by time

v = d/t = $\frac{2.5*2*3.14*0.75}{1}$ = 11.775 m/s or 12 m/s;

a.

The formula to calculate force is given as

F = mv²/r = (0.7*11.775²)/0.75 = 129.4 N

b.

To calculate force as multiple of weight on her hand, we need to calculate the gravitational force W on her hand first.

W = gm = 9.81 * 0.7 = 6.867 N

Now the wieght on her hand can be represented by

$\frac{Force_{net} }{weight of hand}$ = 129.4 / 6.867 = 18.84

A car is moving at 10 m/s to the right. It accelerates for 10 s after which it is moving at 5 m/s to the left. What was the car'

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Acceleration, $a=-1.5\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity of the car, u = 10 m/s (in right)

Final velocity of the car, v = -5 m/s (in left)

Time taken, t = 10 s

Let a is the acceleration of the car. It can be calculated using the equation of kinematics. The equation is as :

$v=u+at$

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$a=\dfrac{-5-10}{10}$

$a=-1.5\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the car is $-1.5\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Consider two diffraction gratings with the same slit separation. The only difference between the two gratings is that one gratin

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

True The grid with more slits gives more angle separation increases

True. The grating with 10 slits produces better-defined (narrower) peaks

Explanation:

Such a system can be seen as a diffraction network in this case with different number of lines per unit length, the expression for the constructive interference of a diffraction network is

d sin θ = m λ

where d is the distance between slits or lines, m the order of diffraction and λ the wavelength.

For network with 5 slits

d = 1/5 = 0.2

For the network with 10 slits

d = 1/10 = 0.1

let's calculate the separation (teat) for each one

θ = sin⁻¹ (m λ / d)

for 5 slits

θ₅ = sin⁻¹ (m λ 5)

for 10 slits

θ₁₀ = sin⁻¹ (m λ 10)

we can appreciate that for more slits the angle increases

the intensity of a series of slits is

I = I₀ sin²2 (N d/2) / sin² d/2)

when there are more slits (N) the peaks have greater intensity and are more acute (half width decreases)

let's analyze the claims

False

True The grid with more slits gives more angle separation increases

False

True The expression for the intensity of the diffraction peaks the intensity of the peaks increases with the number of slits as well as their spectral width decreases

False

Sheila eats an energy bar right before she goes on a run. What energy changes will occur in sheila as she runs after eating?

LiRa [457]

The energy bar eaten by Sheila has chemical energy locked up inside it. This chemical energy is converted to mechanical energy in form of potential and kinetic energy and this in turn is converted to heat energy as the run progresses. Thus, the energy changes are: chemical energy to mechanical energy [kinetic and potential] and finally to heat energy.

A person travelled in the -x direction at a constant speed of 2.5 m/s. The person's final position is -10.0 m, and the initial p

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

(c) time required to travel = 8 sec

Explanation:

We have given the final position = -10 m on x axis

And the initial position =10 m

So total distance = 10-(-10)=20 m

The speed is given as 2.5 m/sec

We have tof ind the time required by the person to travel

Time is given by $t=\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{20}{2.5}=8 sec$

So the option (c) is correct option
