Answer is pituitary gland.


In order to stimulate or inhibit the hormones produced by the endocrine glands, signals are sent to these endocrine glands by the hormones secreted by the pituitary gland.

Consider the following example. When a person is stressed in order to stimulate the production of cortisol, the anterior pituitary lobe will release adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).

At what point in its motion is the KE of a pendulum bob a maximum? 1. The KE does not change. 2. at the lowest point 3. at the h
Andrew [12]

Answer:

2. at the lowest point

Explanation:

The motion of the pendulum is a continuous conversion between kinetic energy (KE) and gravitational potential energy (GPE). This is because the mechanical energy of the pendulum, which is sum of KE and GPE, is constant:

E = KE + GPE = const.

Therefore, when KE is maximum, GPE is minimum, and viceversa.

So, the point of the motion where the KE is maximum is where the GPE is minimum: and since the GPE is directly proportional to the heigth of the bob:

GPE=mgh

we see that GPE is minimum when the bob is at the lowest point,so the correct answer is

2. at the lowest point

A diver jumps off a cliff 50m high and needs to clear the rock that extend outward 5.0m from the base of the cliff. The diver ju
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

He should run at least at 1.5 m/s

The diver will enter the water at an angle of 87° below the horizontal.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The position and velocity of the diver are given by the following vectors:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

v = (v0x, v0y + g · t)

Where:

r = position vector at time t

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0x = initial horizontal velocity

t = time

y0 = initial vertical position

v0y = initial vertical velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the  upward direction as positive)

v = velocity vector at time t

Please, see the attached figure for a description of the problem. Notice that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the jumping point so that x0 and y0 = 0.

We know that, to clear the rocks, the position vector r final (see figure) should be:

r final = ( > 5.0 m, -50 m)

So let´s find first at which time the y-component of the vector r final is - 50 m:

y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

-50 m = 2.1 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 2.1 m/s · t + 50 m

Solving the quadratic equation

t = 3.4 s

Now, we can calculate the initial horizontal velocity using the equation of the x-component of the position vector knowing that at t =3.4 the horizontal component should be greater than 5.0 m:

x = x0 + v0x · t      (x0 = 0)

5.0 m < v0x · 3.4 s

v0x > 5.0 m / 3.4 s

v0x > 1.5 m/s

The initial horizontal velocity should be greater than 1.5 m/s

To find the angle at which the diver enters the water, we have to find the magnitude of the final velocity (vector vf in the figure). We already know the magnitude of the x-component of the vector vf, since the horizontal velocity is constant. So:

vfx > 1.5 m/s

Now, let´s calculate vfy:

vfy = v0y + g · t

vfy = 2.1 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 3.4 s

vfy = -31 m/s

Let´s calculate the minimum magnitude that the final velocity will have if the diver safely clears the rocks. Let´s consider the smallest value allowed for vfx: 1.5 m/s. Then:

|v| = \sqrt{(1.5 m/s)^{2} + (31m/s)^{2}} = 31 m/s

Then the final velocity of the diver will be greater or equal than 31 m/s.

To find the angle, we have to use trigonometry. Notice in the figure that the vectors vf, vfx and vy form a right triangle in which vf is the hypotenuse, vfx is the adjacent side and vfy is the opposite side to the angle. Then:

cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse = vfx / vf = 1.5 m/s / 31 m/s

θ = 87°

The diver will enter the water at an angle of 87° below the horizontal.

A machine part has the shape of a solid uniform sphere of mass 250 g and a diameter of 4.30 cm. It is spinning about a frictionl
zysi [14]

Answer:\alpha =9.302\ rad/s^2

Explanation:

Given

mass of sphere m=250\ gm

diameter of sphere d=4.30\ cm

radius r=\frac{4.30}{2}\ cm

f=0.0200\ N

friction will provide resisting torque so

f\times r=I\times \alpha

where I=\text{moment of Inertia}

f=\text{friction force}

\alpha =\text{angular acceleration}

I=\frac{2}{5}mr^2

0.02\times r=\frac{2}{5}mr^2\times \alpha

\alpha =\frac{5}{2r}\times f

\alpha =\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{2}{4.3\times 10^{-2}}\times 0.02

\alpha =9.302\ rad/s^2

(b)time taken to decrease its rotational speed by 21\ rad/s

t=\dfrac{\Delta \omega }{\alpha }

t=\dfrac{21}{9.302}

t=2.25\ s
