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 bowling ball has a mass of 5 kg. What happens to its momentum when its speed increases from 1 m/s to 2 m/s?
faltersainse [42]

The linear momentum is given by mv. Here m is mass v is velocity of the body. Given mass and velocities as m=5,v_i=1,v_f=2

Initial momentum is mv_i=5*1=5 and final momentum is mv_f=5*2=10.

The correct answer is (A)
