A 0.537-kg basketball is dropped out of a window that is 5.88 m above the ground. The ball is caught by a person whose hands are

1.98 m above the ground. (a) How much work is done on the ball by its weight? What is the gravitational potential energy of the basketball, relative to the ground, when it is (b) released and (c) caught? (d) What is the change (PEf - PE0) in the ball's gravitational potential energy?

Answer:

a) 20.54 J

b) 30.97 J

c) 10.43 J

d) -20.54 J

Explanation:

m = Mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Height

$W=mgh\\\Rightarrow W=0.537\times 9.81\times (5.88-1.98)\\\Rightarrow W=20.54\ J$

Work done by the ball's weight is 20.54 J

$W=mgh\\\Rightarrow W=0.537\times 9.81\times (5.88)\\\Rightarrow W=30.97\ J$

Gravitational potential energy of the basketball, relative to the ground, when it is released is 30.97 J

$W=mgh\\\Rightarrow W=0.537\times 9.81\times (1.98)\\\Rightarrow W=10.43\ J$

Gravitational potential energy of the basketball, relative to the ground, when it is released is 10.43 J

Change in gravitational potential energy

$\Delta U=10.43-30.97=-20.54\ J$

Change in gravitational potential energy is given by -20.54 J

A piano tuner is tuning a piano when he discovers that the G above middle C is vibrating with a higher frequency than his G tuni

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Tuning a piano is the process of adjusting the tension of its strings, thereby altering their pitch, or frequency of vibration, by slightly turning the tuning pins to which they're attached, so that each string sounds pleasingly in harmony with every other string.

What is the series equivalent of two 1000 W resistors in series?

aleksandrvk [35]

The equivalent resistance when two resistors are connected in series is
the sum of their individual resistances.

The marking on the resistor that says "1000 W" is the rating that tells
how much power the resistor can safely dissipate, without overheating
or exploding. (The 'W' stands for 'Watts'.) It doesn't tell us anything about
their individual resistances. So we don't have enough information to calculate
their series equivalent.

What force must the deltoid muscle provide to keep the arm in this position?

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Deltoid Force, $F_{d} = \frac {r_{a}mgsin\alpha_{a}}{r_{d}sin\alpha_{d}}$

Additional Information:

Some numerical information are missing from the question. However, I will derive the formula to calculate the force of the deltoid muscle. All you need to do is insert the necessary information and calculate.

Explanation:

The deltoid muscle is the one keeping the hand arm in position. We have two torques that apply to the rotating of the arm.

1. The torque about the point in the shoulder for the deltoid muscle, $T_{Deltoid}$

2. The torque of the arm, $T_{arm}$

Assuming the arm is just being stretched and there is no rotation going on,

$T_{Deltoid}$ = 0

$T_{arm}$ = 0

⇒ $T_{Deltoid} = T_{arm}$

$r_{d}F_{d}sin\alpha_{d} = r_{a}F_{a}sin\alpha_{a}$

Where,

$r_{d}$ is radius of the deltoid

$F_{d}$ is the force of the deltiod

$\alpha_{d}$ is the angle of the deltiod

$r_{a}$ is the radius of the arm

$F_{a}$ is the force of the arm , $F_{a} = mg$ which is the mass of the arm and acceleration due to gravity

$\alpha_{a}$ is the angle of the arm

The force of the deltoid muscle is,

$F_{d} = \frac {r_{a}F_{a}sin\alpha_{a}}{r_{d}sin\alpha_{d}}$

but $F_{a} = mg$ ,

∴ $F_{d} = \frac {r_{a}mgsin\alpha_{a}}{r_{d}sin\alpha_{d}}$
