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

An object is moving at a constant velocity of 10 m/s for 5 seconds. What is

german

initial velocity (u)=0m/s

final velocity (v)=10m/s

time( t)=5s

acceleration (a)=v-u÷t

acceleration (a)=10-0÷5

acceleration (a)=10÷5

acceleration (a)=2

therefore acceleration (a)=2m/s

A long jumper can jump a distance of 7.4 m when he takes off at an angle of 45° with respect to the horizontal. Assuming he can

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

0.02 m

Explanation:

R₁ = initial distance jumped by jumper = 7.4 m

R₂ = final distance jumped by jumper = ?

θ₁ = initial angle of jump = 45°

θ₂ = final angle of jump = 42.9°

$v$ = speed at which jumper jumps at all time

initial distance jumped is given as

$R_{1}=\frac{v^{2}Sin2\theta _{1} }{g}$

final distance jumped is given as

$R_{2}=\frac{v^{2}Sin2\theta _{2} }{g}$

Dividing final distance by initial distance

$\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}}=\frac{Sin2\theta _{1}}{Sin2\theta _{2}}$

$\frac{R_{2}}{7.4}=\frac{Sin2(42.9)}{Sin2(45))}$

$R_{2} =7.38$

distance lost is given as

d = $R_{1} - R_{2}$

d = 7.4 - 7.38

d = 0.02 m

Light from a laser with wavelength 400 nm passed through two small openings and produces an interference pattern on a screen 1 m

alexira [117]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to destructive interference from double-slit experiments. For this purpose we will define the path difference as,

$\text{Path difference}= dsin\theta = (2n-1)\frac{\lambda}{2}$

Here,

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

$\theta$ = Angle when occurs the interference point of destructive interference

Our values are given as,

$\text{Wavelength} = \lambda = 400nm = 4*10^{-7}m$

$\text{Distance of Screen} = D = 1m$

Using the previous expression we have,

$d \times \theta = \frac{\lambda}{2}$

$d \times (0.1) = \frac{4*10^{-7}}{2}$

$d = 2*10^{-6} m$

$d = 2\mu m$ $d = 2\mu m$

Therefore the distance between the two openings is $2\mu m$

an airplane flies for 4 hours with a constant speed of 696 km/h and then for another 35 minutes with a constant sppeed of 936 km

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Total distance covered by airplane is 3330 km

Explanation:

Distance covered in speed of v= 696 km /hr for t = 4 hours is

$x_{1}=v \times t\\x_{1}=696 \times 4\\x_{1}=2784 km$

Convert given speed in km/min, then distance covered in 35 minutes at speed of 936 km/hr is

$x_{2}=\frac{936}{60} \times 35\\x_{2}==546 km$

Total distance covered by airplane is

$x = x_{1}+x_{2}\\x =2784 +546\\x=3330 km$

Total distance covered by airplane is 3330 km
