Why are you able to make someone on a swing have very large swings by only exerting very small forces on them?

1 answer:

3 0

Because almost all of the force is done by the weight of the person and the mechanism of the swing itself, when you push someone you only give them an increase in velocity, the acceleration comes from the weight at first and then from gravity when the person is coming down, which is why we bend our legs when coming down

When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth. If the muscle generates a force of 45.

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Torque on the rocket will be 1.11475 N -m

Explanation:

We have given that muscles generate a force of 45.5 N

So force F = 45.5 N

This force acts on the is acting on the effective lever arm of 2.45 cm

So length of the lever arm d = 2.45 cm = 0.0245 m

We have to find torque

We know that torque is given by $\tau =F\times d=45.5\times 0.0245=1.11475N-m$

So torque on the rocket will be 1.11475 N -m

a swimmer experiences a total (absolute) pressure of 117,500 pa in a pool. how far below the surface are they located?

marta [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that the pressure can be calculated in the following way:

p = d·g·h

with d being the density of the water, g the gravitational acceleration and h the depth.

Also d of the water = 1000 kg/m^3 circa and g = 9.8 m/s^2 circa

117,500 Pa = 1000kg/m³ · 9.8m/s² · h

Therefore h = 11,9 m

Elden [556K]

Answer:

blue star is hotter than red

Explanation:

The colour of a star depends on its temperature.

Lesser the temperature means lesser be the energetic. less energy means longer wavelength. Between blue and red, red colour has longer wavelength. So, the red colored star is colder than blue coloured star.

Blue coloured star is hotter than red coloured star.
