Answer:

Acceleration

Explanation:

A vector quantity has a magnitude and direction. Mass, Speed and Volume are all scalar quantities because they only have magnitude, and not direction.

Even when the head is held erect, as in the figure below, its center of mass is not directly over the principal point of support

alexandr1967 [171]

We are asked to determine the force required by the neck muscle in order to keep the head in equilibrium. To do that we will add the torques produced by the muscle force and the weight of the head. We will use torque in the clockwise direction to be negative, therefore, we have:

$\Sigma T=r_{M\perp}(F_M)-r_{W\perp}(W)$

Since we want to determine the forces when the system is at equilibrium this means that the total sum of torque is zero:

$r_{M\perp}(F_M)-r_{W\perp}(W)=0$

Now, we solve for the force of the muscle. First, we add the torque of the weight to both sides:

$r_{M\perp}(F_M)=r_{W\perp}(W)$

Now, we divide by the distance of the muscle:

$(F_M)=\frac{r_{W\perp}(W)}{r_{M\perp}}$

Now, we substitute the values:

$F_M=\frac{(2.4cm)(50N)}{5.1cm}$

Now, we solve the operations:

$F_M=23.53N$

Therefore, the force exerted by the muscles is 23.53 Newtons.

Part B. To determine the force on the pivot we will add the forces we add the vertical forces:

$\Sigma F_v=F_j-F_M-W$

Since there is no vertical movement the sum of vertical forces is zero:

$F_j-F_M-W=0$

Now, we add the force of the muscle and the weight to both sides to solve for the force on the pivot:

$F_j=F_M+W$

Now, we plug in the values:

$F_j=23.53N+50N$

Solving the operations:

$F_j=73.53N$

Therefore, the force is 73.53 Newtons.

A 124-kg balloon carrying a 22-kg basket is descending with a constant downward velocity of 24.3 m/s . A 1.0-kg stone is thrown

defon

Answer:

-969.06

-286.74

698.7

-115.6, 12.9

-139.9, 12.9

Explanation:

Given that

Speed v, wrt y = -24.3 m/s

Speed v, wrt x = 12.9 m/s

time t, = 11.8 s

Using the formula

H(t) = ut - 1/2gt², where u = v wrt y

H(t) = -24.3 * 11.8 - 1/2 * 9.8 * 11.8²

H(t) = -286.74 - 682.28

H(t) = -969.06 m

H = ut, where u = v wrt y

H = -24.3 * 11.8

H = -286.74 m

H(1) = -969.06 - -286.74 = -682 m

Horizontal displacement, x = vt. Where v = v wrt x

x = 12.9 * 11.8

x = 152.22 m

d = √(H1² + x²)

d = √682² + 152²

d = 465124 + 23104

d = √488228

d = 698.7 m

Vertical component =

-gt - 0 =

-9.8 * 11.8 = -115.6

Horizontal component =

v wrt x - 0

12.9 - 0 = 12.9

Vertical component =

-gt - v wrt y =

-9.8 * 11.8 - 24.3 = -139.9

Horizontal component =

v wrt x - 0 =

12.9 - 0 = 0

What frequency is received by a stationary mouse just before being dispatched by a hawk flying at it at 24.7 m/s and emitting a

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

f' = 3665.51 Hz

Explanation:

given,

speed of the hawk = 24.7 m/s

frequency of screech emitted by the hawk = 3400 Hz

speed of sound = 331 m/s

By Doppler's effect

$f' = (\dfrac{v}{v-v_s}})f$

f' is the frequency received by the mouse

v is the speed of the sound

v_s is the speed of the hawk

now,

$f' = \dfrac{341}{341-24.7}}\times 3400$

f' = 1.078 x 3400

f' = 3665.51 Hz

The frequency received by the stationary mouse is equal to 3665.51 Hz
