The triceps muscle in the back of the upper arm extends the forearm. This muscle in a professional boxer exerts a force of 2551

N2551 N with an effective perpendicular lever arm of 3.15 cm3.15 cm , producing an angular acceleration of the forearm of 115.0 rad / s2115.0 rad / s2 . What is the moment of inertia of the boxer's forearm?

Answer:

0.7 kg m²

Explanation:

F = force exerted applied by muscle in a professional boxer = 2551 N

r = length of lever arm = 3.15 cm = 0.0315 m

α = angular acceleration of the forearm = 115 rad/s²

I = moment of inertia of the boxer's forearm

τ = Torque applied by muscle in a professional boxer

Torque is given as

τ = I α = r F

Inserting the values

I (115) = (0.0315) (2551)

I = 0.7 kg m²

A vertical spring with stiffness k originally is at rest with no mass attached. Then, a mass M is attached, and the spring rocks
Alina [70]

Answer:

The position of the spring in terms of g, m & k is x = \frac{m g}{k}

Explanation:

Stiffness of the spring = k

Mass = m

When a mass m is attached with the spring then spring stretched. in that case the force exerted on the spring is equal to weight of the mass attached.

⇒ Force exerted on the spring F = k x

⇒ m g = k x

⇒ x = \frac{m g}{k}

This is the position of the spring in terms of g, m & k.

States that Earth processes today are similar to those that took place in the past
Maslowich

Answer;

Uniformitarianism

Explanation;

-Uniformitarianism is the principle suggesting that Earth's geologic processes acted in the same manner and with essentially the same intensity in the past as they do in the present and that such uniformity is sufficient to account for all geologic change.  For example, at an active volcano we can observe lava cooling to form layers of basalt.

James Hutton suggested that deep soil profiles were formed by the weathering of bedrock over thousands of years. He also suggested that supernatural theories were not needed to explain the geologic history of the Earth.

As a mass on a spring moves farther from the equilibrium position, how do the velocity, acceleration, and force change
Umnica [9.8K]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

m =  the mass of the object
x = the distance of the object from the equilibrium position at time t.
v = the velocity of the object at time t
a = the acceleration of the object at time t
A =  the amplitude ( the maximum distance) of the mass from the equilibrium
        position

The oscillatory motion of the object (without damping) is given by
x(t) = A sin(ωt)
where
ω =  the circular frequency of the motion
T =  the period of the motion so that ω = (2π)/T

The velocity and acceleration are respectively
v(t) = ωA cos(ωt)
a(t) = -ω²A sin(ωt)

In the equilibrium position,
x is zero;
v is maximum;
a is zero.

At the farthest distance (A) from the equilibrium position,
x is maximum;
v is zero;
a is zero.

In the graphs shown, it is assumed (for illustrative purposes) that
A = 1 and T = 1.

Coulomb measured the deflection of sphere A when spheres A and B had equal charges and were a distance d apart. He then made the
sdas [7]

Answer:

The new distance is     d = 0.447 d₀

Explanation:

The electric out is given by Coulomb's Law

         F = k q₁ q₂ / r²

This electric force is in balance with tension.

We reduce the charge of sphere B to 1/5 of its initial value (q_{B}=q₂ = q₂ / 5) than new distance (d = n d₀)

dat

     q₁ = q_{A}

     q₂ = q_{B}

     r = d₀

In order for the deviation to maintain the electric force it should not change, so we apply the Coulomb equation for the two points

         F = k q₁ q₂ / d₀²

         F = k q₁ (q₂ / 5) / (n d₀)²

         .k q₁ q₂ / d₀² = q₁ q₂ / (5 n² d₀²)

          5 n² = 1

          n = √ 1/5

          n = 0.447

The new distance is

         d = 0.447 d₀

A rocket ship is accelerating at 200 m/s2, its mas is 135,000,000 kg. What is the force generated by this acceleration?
Rina8888 [55]

Acceleration does NOT "generate" force.  Acceleration NEEDS force to make it happen.  Without force ... provided by something else ... acceleration can't happen.

The force NEEDED to accelerate a mass with a certain acceleration is

Force needed = (mass) times (acceleration)

For the rocket ship in the question,

Force = (135,000,000 kg) times (200 m/s²)

Force = (135,000,000 x 200) kg-m/s²

<em>Force = 27 Giga-Newtons  </em>(27,000,000,000 Newtons)


The gas-generator cycle F-1 rocket engine, developed in the US by Rocketdyne in the late 1950s, was used in the Saturn V rocket, the main launch vehicle of NASA's Apollo moon lander program .  Five F-1 engines were used in the first stage of each Saturn V.  

==> The thrust of each F-1 engine at full throttle is 7,770 kilo-Newtons.  

It would take <em>3,475 </em>of these F-1 rocket engines, running full-throttle, to provide the force calculated in the answer to this question.  If you didn't have 3,475 F-1 rocket engines, then you couldn't accelerate 135,000,000 kg at 200 m/s².

(And by the way ... the mass of each F-1 engine is 8,400 kg.  So 3,475 engines alone account for 22% of the mass you're trying to accelerate.  And don't even get me started about the mass of the FUEL you'd need to carry.)
