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

An object is allowed to fall freely near the surface of a planet. The object has an acceleration due to gravity of 24 m/s2. How
Alborosie

Answer:

12 m

Explanation:

The object is in uniformly accelerated motion, so the distance covered can be found using the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

For this problem,

g=24 m/s^2

and

u = 0, since we are considering the first second of motion

So, substituting t = 1 s, we find

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(24)(1)^2=12 m

Which types of numbers does scientific notation best describe?
Travka [436]
The correct answer is
<span>c) very small and very large

Let's see this with a few examples:
1) if we have a very small number, such as
</span>0.0000000001
<span>we see that we can write it easily by using the scientific notation:
</span>1\cdot 10^{-10}
<span>2) Similarly, if we have a very large number:
</span>10000000000
<span>we see that we can write it easily by using again the scientific notation:
</span>1 \cdot 10^{10}<span>

Energy transformations when you cook sausages on a campfire burning wood
Rina8888 [55]

<span>Actually in this case heat energy is being transferred. Heat energy or thermal energy is transferred from the burning of wood to the sausages for it to be cooked. The sausage is being heated by the fire and is absorbing the heat or thermal energy.</span>

A ball rolls forward in the grass slowing down as it rolls?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Yes it does, uh huh.  It slows down as it rolls.  That's a fact.

In order for the ball to roll forward, it has to push grass out of the way.  That takes energy.  To bend each blade of grass out of its way, the ball has to use a tiny bit of the kinetic energy that it has, so it gradually runs out of kinetic energy.  When its kinetic energy is all gone, it stops moving.

Un móvil se desplaza con movimiento uniforme con una rapidez de 36 Km/h ¿Cuál es la distancia recorrida al cabo de 0,5 horas?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Distancia = 17,5 kilómetros.

Explanation:

Dados los siguientes datos;

Velocidad = 36 km/h

Tiempo = 0.5 horas

Para encontrar la distancia recorrida;

Distancia = velocidad * tiempo

Distancia = 35 * 0.5

Distancia = 17,5 kilómetros.

Por tanto, la distancia recorrida por el automóvil es de 17,5 kilómetros.
