Answer:

I = 0.483 kgm^2

Explanation:

To know what is the moment of inertia I of the boxer's forearm you use the following formula:

\tau=I\alpha  (1)

τ: torque exerted by the forearm

I: moment of inertia

α: angular acceleration = 125 rad/s^2

You calculate the torque by using the information about the force (1.95*10^3 N) and the lever arm (3.1 cm = 0.031m)

\tau=Fr=(1.95*10^3N)(0.031m)=60.45J

Next, you replace this value of τ in the equation (1) and solve for I:

I=\frac{\tau}{\alpha}=\frac{60.45Kgm^2/s ^2}{125rad/s^2}=0.483 kgm^2

hence, the moment of inertia of the forearm is 0.483 kgm^2

Can tectonic plates switch places with other tectonic plates, Im generally curious
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Earth's crust, called the lithosphere, consists of 15 to 20 moving tectonic plates. The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other. This movement is called plate motion, or tectonic shift.
