Interestingly, there have been several studies using cadavers to determine the moments of inertia of human body parts, informati

on that is important in biomechanics. In one study, the center of mass of a 5.7 kg lower leg was found to be 18 cm from the knee. When the leg was allowed to pivot at the knee and swing freely like a pendulum, the oscillation frequency was 1.7 Hz.
What was the moment of inertia of the lower leg?

Answer:

0.08821 kgm²

Explanation:

f = Frequency = 1.7 Hz

m = Mass of lower leg = 5.7 kg

d = Distance of center of mass = 18 cm

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

I = Moment of inertia

Frequency is given by

f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{mgd}{I}}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{mgd}{(2\pi f)^2}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{5.7\times 9.81\times 0.18}{(2\pi 1.7)^2}\\\Rightarrow I=0.08821\ kgm^2

The moment of inertia of the lower leg is 0.08821 kgm²

An advantage of light microscopes compared to electron microscopes is that light microscopes _____.
ivolga24 [154]
<span>C is the correct answer. Electron microscopes require a vacuum to work, so living cells cannot be seen because they cannot respire. Light microscopes use a ray of visible light instead of a beam of electrons to magnify something so it can be seen by the naked eye. There are two different types of electron microscope: transmission (TEM) and scanning (SEM).</span>

Why empty tin-cans ocillating for a longer time​
Natalija [7]

Answer: When you speak into the can, your voice creates air vibrations that travel into the can, vibrate the bottom of the can, which in turn vibrates the string all the way over to the other can, in turn vibrating the other can's bottom, then the air again.

(a) Neil A. Armstrong was the first person to walk on the moon. The distance between the earth and the moon is 3.85 x 108 m. Fin
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

a). 1.28333 seconds

b). 186.66 seconds

Explanation:

a). Given :

Distance between the earth and the moon, d = $3.85 \times 10^8$ m

Speed of the radio waves, c = $3 \times 10^8$ m/s

Therefore the time required for the voice of Neil Armstrong to reach the earth via radio waves is given by :

$t=\frac{d}{c}$

 $=\frac{3.85 \times 10^8}{3 \times 10^8}$

 = 1.28333 seconds

b). Distance between Mars and the earth, d = $5.6 \times 10^{10}$ m

   Speed of the radio waves, c = $3 \times 10^8$ m/s

So, the time required for his voice to reach earth is :

$t=\frac{d}{c}$

 $=\frac{5.6 \times 10^{10}}{3 \times 10^8}$

 = 186.66 seconds
