How does intertia affect gymnastics

Inertia is resistance to changes in motion. Which means if you are at rest it takes an external force to get you moving. And once you are moving it takes an external force to change the direction of that motion.

For a person doing gymnastics the point that is subject to the above statement is her center of mass (roughly her belly button) . 

So for example, once you launch into the air, gravity is the only significant force on you. It keeps you from traveling out into space by pulling you down and the trajectory of your belly button is a parabola. Now there is nothing you can do with your muscles (internal forces) to change that trajectory, even though you can do twists & turns about the center of mass. The height and range of the parabolic trajectory is determined by the angle & speed at which you initially launch yourself.

inertia is one of newtons laws of motion so an object in motion tends to remain in motion until another force acts upon it that is what newton said when you are doing a back hand spring it is easier to keep going then to stop

Steam initially at 0.3 MPa, 2500 C is cooled at constant volume. (a) At what temperature will steam become saturated vapour? [12

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

a. 123.9°C

Explanation:

Hello, I'm attaching a picture with the numerical development of this exercise.

a. Since the steam is overheated vapour, the specific volume is gotten from the corresponding table. Then, as it became a saturated vapour, we look for the interval in which the same volume of state 1 is, then we interpolate and get the temperature.

b. Now, at 80°C, since it is about a rigid tank (constant volume for every thermodynamic process), the specific volume of the mixture is 0.79645 m^3/kg as well, so the specific volume for the liquid and the vapour are taken into account to get the quality of 0.234.

c. Now,since this is an isocoric process, the heat transfer per kg of steam is computed as the difference in the internal energy, considering the initial condition (showed in a. part) and the final one computed here.

** The thermodynamic data were obtained from Cengel's thermodynamics book 7th edition.

Best regards.
