A weight lifter is trying to do a bicep curl with a weight of 300 N. At the "sticking point", the moment arm of this weight is 3

0 cm about the elbow axis of rotation. The maximum force that the elbow flexor muscles can create for this situation is 4000 N and the moment arm of the elbow flexors is 2 cm. Can the lifter get past this sticking point?

Answer:

The weight lifter would not get past this sticking point.

Explanation:

Generally torque applied on the weight is mathematically represented as

             T =  F z

To obtain Elbow torque we substitute 4000 N for F (the force ) and 2cm = \frac{2}{100} = 0.02m for z the perpendicular distance

So Elbow Torque is   T_e= 4000 * 0.02

                                   = 80Nm

 To obtain the torque required we substitute 300 N for F and 30cm =\frac{30}{100} = 0.3 m

  So the Required Torque is T_R = 300 *0.3

                                                     =90Nm

Now since   T_e < T_R it mean that the weight lifter would not get past this sticking point

A converging lens of focal length 20 cm is used to form a real image 1.0 m away from the lens. How far from the lens is the obje
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

0.25 m

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the lens equation:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}

where

f is the focal length

p is the distance of the object from the lens

q is the distance of the image from the lens

In this problem, we have

f = +20 cm=+0.20 m (the focal length is positive for a converging lens)

q = +1.0 m (the image distance is positive for a real image)

Solving the equation for p, we find

\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{0.20 m}-\frac{1}{1 m}=4 m^{-1}\\p=\frac{1}{4 m^{-1}}=0.25 m

lightning and thunder both occur at the same time why do you see the Lightning before you hear the thunder

Because the light from it travels to you about 874 thousand times
as fast as the sound does, so the hearing part falls behind the seeing

If a distant galaxy has a substantial redshift (as viewed from our galaxy), then anyone living in that galaxy would see a substa
mario62 [17]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The statement makes sense since it's already explained that the galaxy is moving away from us and unlike option C which depicts that the galaxy is moving to us.

This statement makes sense. The redshift means that we see the galaxy moving away from us, so observers in that galaxy must also see us moving away from them—which means they see us redshifted as well
