To keep the calculations fairly simple, but still reasonable, we shall model a human leg that is 92.0 cm long (measured from the

hip joint) by assuming that the upper leg and the lower leg (which includes the foot) have equal lengths and that each of them is uniform. For a 70.0 kg person, the mass of the upper leg would be 8.35 kg , while that of the lower leg (including the foot) is 5.50 kg . Take that x-axis is directed horizontally and the y-axis is directed vertically downward.
A. Find the x-coordinate of the center of mass of this leg, relative to the hip joint, if it is stretched out horizontally.

ANSWER: Xc= _________ cm

B. Find the y-coordinate of the center of mass of this leg, relative to the hip joint, if it is stretched out horizontally.

ANSWER: Yc= _________cm

C. Find the x-coordinate of the center of mass of this leg, relative to the hip joint, if it is bent at the knee to form a right angle with the upper leg remaining horizontal.

ANSWER: Xc= _________ cm

D. Find the y-coordinate of the center of mass of this leg, relative to the hip joint, if it is bent at the knee to form a right angle with the upper leg remaining horizontal.

Answer:

Xc = 64.27 cm, Yc = 0 cm, Xc = 27.73 cm, Yc = 18.27 cm

Explanation:

A human leg is 92 cm long equally divided into two parts (upper leg and lower leg) that is both are 46 cm long

M1 = 8.35 kg

M2 = 5.50 kg

A. Starting from hip joint, when the leg is placed horizontally, the X coordinate of centre of mass will be

Xc = (m1x1 + m2x2) / m1 + m2

Xc = (8.35x46 + 5.50 x 92) / 8.35 + 5.50

( here we took x2 = 92 cm because we are measuring length from the hip joint, that means length at hip joint is 0 and at the foot 92 cm)

Xc = 890.1 / 13.85

Xc = 64.27 cm

B. Yc = (y1m1 + y2m2) / m1 + m2

Yc = (0x8.35 + 0x5.50) / 8.35 + 5.50

( here y1 and y2 are 0 because the leg is placed horizontally that means in X direction so none of the leg component is in Y direction)

Yc = 0 cm

C. Xc = (m1x1 + m2x2) / m1 + m2

Xc = (8.35x46 + 5.50x0) / 8.35 + 5.50

(here x2 is taken 0 because the other half leg is bent vertically that means it is in Y direction so its X component is 0)

Xc = 384.1 / 13.85

Xc = 27.73 cm

D. Yc = (m1y1 + m2y2) / m1 + m2

Yc = (8.35x0 + 5.50x46) / 8.35 + 5.50

(here y1 is zero because the upper leg is in X direction and y2 is taken 46 cm because starting measuring from hip joint 46 cm of length of lower leg is in Y direction)

Yc = 253/13.85

Yc = 18.27 cm

A speed skater moving across frictionless ice at 9.2 m/s hits a 5.0 m wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continue
enot [183]

Answer:

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

Explanation:

The distance travelled on the rough ice is equal to the width of the rough ice.

distance d = 5.0 m

Initial speed u = 9.2 m/s

Final speed v = 5.8 m/s

The time taken to move through the rough ice can be calculated using the equation of motion;

d = 0.5(u+v)t

time t = 2d/(u+v)

Substituting the given values;

t = 2(5)/(9.2+5.8)

t = 2/3 = 0.66667 second

The acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time;

acceleration a = ∆v/t

a = (v-u)/t

Substituting the values;

a = (5.8-9.2)/0.66667

a = -5.099974500127

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

A driven RLC circuit is being driven by an AC emf source with a maximum current of 2.75 A and maximum voltage of 150 V. The curr
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

(a). Z = 54.54 ohm

(b). R = 36 ohm

(c). The circuit will be Capacitive.

Explanation:

Given data

I = 2.75 A

Voltage = 150 V

\phi = 0.85 rad = 48.72°

(a). Impedance of the circuit is given by

Z = \frac{V}{I}

Z = \frac{150}{2.75}

Z = 54.54 ohm

(b). We know that resistance of the circuit is given by

R = \frac{Z}{\sqrt{1 + \tan^{2}\phi } }

Put the values of Z & \phi in above formula we get

R = \frac{54.54}{\sqrt{1 + \tan^{2} ( \ 48.72) } }

R = 36 ohm

(c). Since the phase angle is negative so the circuit will be Capacitive.

The current in a lamp is 0.5 ampere when it is plugged into a standard wall outlet. What is the resistance of the lamp when it i
lidiya [134]

The resistance of the lamp plugged in to a standard wall outlet with a current of 0.5 amps is 240 Ω (ohms)

Explanation:

In the United States Of America the standard voltage is 120 v and their frequency is 60 Hz

Standard wall outlet voltage is 120 V

The current in the lamp is 0.5 ampere

Resistance (R) = V/ I

      = 120/0.5

      = 240Ω (ohms)

Thus the resistance of the lamp plugged in to a standard wall outlet with a current of 0.5 amps is 240 Ω (ohms).

In which of the following situations or places would you want to reduce the
sashaice [31]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

<em>The correct answer would be in the axle of the wheels while you ride your bicycle.</em>

Options A, B, and C requires that the forces of friction is increased in order to have more control.

However, option D requires that there is a minimal frictional force in the axle of the wheels of a bicycle while riding so that a little effort would be required to keep the bicycle moving.

<u>The lesser the friction, the lower the effort that would be needed to keep the bicycle moving and vice versa.</u>
