You are performing a knee extension exercise. You hold a 20kg weight at full knee extension. The weight is 0.4m from your knee j

oint. What is the moment created by the weight about your knee? Ignore the mass of the leg. Include the units and the direction of the moment (i.e., positive for counterclockwise, negative for clockwise).

Answer:

The moment is -78.4 N-m (clockwise).

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the object (m) = 20 kg

Distance of the object from the knee joint (d) = 0.4 m

Weight of leg is not considered.

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Now, weight of the object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration due to gravity. So,

Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity

            = mg=20\times 9.8 =196\ N

We know that, moment of a force about a point is defined as the product of force applied and the perpendicular distance between the point and the line of application of force.

Moment of the given weight about the knee joint is given as:

Moment about knee joint = Weight × Distance from knee joint to weight

Moment about knee joint = 196 × 0.4 = 78.4 Nm

Now, from the diagram below, we can observe that, the weight acts vertically down and thus the sense of rotation about the knee joint at point O is clockwise. So, moment is negative.

Therefore, the moment is -78.4 N-m (clockwise).

A trumpet player is tuning his instrument by playing an A note simultaneously with the first-chair trumpeter, who has perfect pi
KIM [24]

To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Beat

The Beat is an acoustic phenomenon that is generated by two sine waves interfering with slightly different frequencies. The beat frequency is equal to the difference in the frequencies of the two original waves:

f_{bat} = |(f_1 \pm f_B)|

Our values are given as

f_1 = 440Hz

f_B = 2.1Hz

For the particular case we have two possible frequencies:

1) f_{bat} = |(f_1 - f_B)|

f_{bat} = |(440 - 2.1)|

f_{bat} = 437.9Hz

2) f_{bat} = |(f_B + f_1)|

f_{bat} = |(440 +2.1)|

f_{bat} = 442.1Hz

Therefore the two possibles frequencies of the other players note are 437.9Hz and 442.1Hz

An asteroid is on a collision course with Earth. An astronaut lands on the rock to bury explosive charges that will blow the ast
forsale [732]

Answer:

The maximum radius the asteroid can have for her to be able to leave it entirely simply by jumping straight up is approximately 1782.45 meters

Explanation:

Whereby the height the astronaut can jump on Earth = 0.500 m, we have the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² - 2·g·h

Where;

v = The final velocity

u = The initial velocity

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

h = The height she jumps

At the maximum height, h_{max} = 0.500 m, she jumps, v = 0, therefore, we have;

0² = u² - 2·g·h_{max}

u² = 2 × 9.8 × 0.5 = 9.8

u = √9.8 ≈ 3.13

u = 3.13 m/s

Her initial jumping velocity ≈ 3.13 m/s

Escape velocity, v_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \cdot G \cdot M}{r} }

Where;

M = The mass of the asteroid

G = The Universal gravitational constant = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg·s²)

r = The radius of the asteroid

The average density of the Earth = 5515 kg/m³

The mass of the asteroid, M = Density × Volume = 5515 kg/m³× 4/3 × π × r³

The escape velocity, she has, v_e ≈ 3.13 m/s is therefore;

3.13 = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times 6.67408 \times 10^{-11} \times 5515 \times \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times r^3}{r} } = r \times \sqrt{3.084 \times 10^{-6}}

r = \dfrac{3.13}{ \sqrt{3.084 \times 10^{-6}}} \approx 1782.45

Therefore, the maximum radius of the asteroid can have for her jumping velocity to be equal to the escape velocity for her to be able to leave it entirely simply by jumping straight up = r ≈ 1782.45 meters.

skateboarder, starting from rest, rolls down a 13.5 m ramp. When she arrives at the bottom of the ramp her speed is 7.37 m/s. If
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

1.7 m/s²

Explanation:

d = length of the ramp = 13.5 m

v₀ = initial speed of the skateboarder = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the skateboarder = 7.37 m/s

a = acceleration

Using the equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a d

7.37² = 0² + 2 a (13.5)

a = 2.01 m/s²

θ = angle of the incline relative to ground = 29.9

a' = Component of acceleration parallel to the ground

Component of acceleration parallel to the ground is given as

a' = a Cosθ

a' = 2.01 Cos29.9

a' = 1.7 m/s²
