The triceps muscle in the back of the upper arm is primarily used to extend the forearm. Suppose this muscle in a professional b

oxer exerts a force of 1.95 × 103 N with an effective perpendicular lever arm of 3.1 cm, producing an angular acceleration of the forearm of 125 rad/s2. What is the moment of inertia of the boxer's forearm?

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

A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 5.7 m from the center of the ride. Then the operator turns on the rid

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

0.76

Explanation:

we are given:

radius (r) =5.7 m

speed (s) = 1 revolution in 5.5 seconds

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

coefficient of friction (Uk) = ?

we can get the minimum coefficient of friction from the equation below

centrifugal force = frictional force

m x r x ω^{2} = Uk x m x g

r x ω^{2} = Uk x g

Uk = $\frac{ r x ω^{2} }{g}$

where ω (angular velocity) = $\frac{2π}{time}$

= $\frac{2π }{5.5}$ = 1.14

Uk = $\frac{ 5.7 x 1.14^{2} }{9.8}$ = 0.76

Convert time from 12-hour to 24-hour clock.

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

4:28

Explanation:

4:28am

a 12 hour clock continues going up after 12 (1:00pm=13:00). minutes stay the same. 12:00pm=00:00. this shows 4:28am, so you count 4 after 00:00.

Nearly monochromatic light of wavelength 420 nm is split in two beams. The first beam traveled 105 nm to the screen more than th

leva [86]

Answer:

phase difference = π / 2

constructive interference

Explanation:

Given data

wavelength = 420 nm

1st beam = 105 nm

path difference = 105 nm

to find out

phase difference and interference pattern of the two beams

solution

we use here equation of phase difference that is

phase difference = 2π / wavelength × Δx

put here value

phase difference = 2π / 420 × 105

phase difference = π / 2

and

we know that here path difference Δx is the integral multiple of the wavelength so it will be constructive interference

Δx is wavelength / 4

What is the volume of an object that has a density of 65g/cm3 and a mass of 130g.

lora16 [44]

Density <em>ρ</em> is mass <em>m</em> per unit volume <em>v</em>, or

<em>ρ</em> = <em>m</em> / <em>v</em>

Solving for <em>v</em> gives

<em>v</em> = <em>m</em> / <em>ρ</em>

So the given object has a volume of

<em>v</em> = (130 g) / (65 g/cm³) = 2 cm³

Answer:

<em>The magnitude of vector d is 16 and the angle with the x-axis is 270°</em>

Explanation:

<u>Operations With Vectors</u>

Given two vectors in rectangular components:

$\vec a=(ax,ay)\ ,\ \vec b=(bx,by)$

The sum of the vectors is:

$\vec a+\vec b=(ax+bx,ay+by)$

The difference between the vectors is:

$\vec a-\vec b=(ax-bx,ay-by)$

The magnitude of $\vec a$ is:

$|\vec a|=\sqrt{ax^2+ay^2}$

The angle $\vec a$ makes with the horizontal positive direction is:

$\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{ay}{ax}\\$

The question provides the vectors:

$\vec a=(2,6)$

$\vec b=(2,22)$

$\vec d=\vec a-\vec b$

Calculate:

$\vec d=(2,6)-(2,22)=(0,-16)$

The magnitude of $\vec d$ is:

$|\vec d|=\sqrt{0^2+(-16)^2}=\sqrt{0+256}=16$

The angle is calculated by:

$\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{-16}{0}$

The division cannot be calculated because the denominator is zero. We need to estimate the correct angle by looking at the components of the vector. Since the x-coordinate is zero and the y-coordinate is negative, the vector points downwards (south), thus the angle must be -90° or 270° if the range goes from 0° to 360°.

The magnitude of vector d is 16 and the angle with the x-axis is 270°
