The patellar tendon attaches to the tibia at a 20 deg angle 3 cm from the axis of rotation at the knee. If the force generated i

n the patellar tendon is 400 N, what is the resulting angular acceleration, in rad/s2), if the lower leg and foot have a combined mass of 4.2kg and a given radius of gyration of 25 cm

Answer:

the resulting angular acceleration is 15.65 rad/s²

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

force generated in the patellar tendon F = 400 N

patellar tendon attaches to the tibia at a 20° angle 3 cm( 0.03 m ) from the axis of rotation at the knee.

so Torque produced by the knee will be;

T = F × d⊥

T = 400 N × 0.03 m × sin( 20° )

T = 400 N × 0.03 m × 0.342

T = 4.104 N.m

Now, we determine the moment of inertia of the knee

I = mk²

given that; the lower leg and foot have a combined mass of 4.2kg and a given radius of gyration of 25 cm ( 0.25 m )

we substitute

I = 4.2 kg × ( 0.25 m )²

I = 4.2 kg × 0.0626 m²

I = 0.2625 kg.m²

So from the relation of Moment of inertia, Torque and angular acceleration;

T = I∝

we make angular acceleration ∝, subject of the formula

∝ = T / I

we substitute

∝ = 4.104 / 0.2625

∝ = 15.65 rad/s²

Therefore, the resulting angular acceleration is 15.65 rad/s²

Which measurement is a potential difference?<br> A.115J<br> B.115V<br> C.115N<br> D.115C
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Potential difference has a SI Unit of Volt and its symbol is <em>V</em>. Hence answer is <u>B</u>.

A is wrong as it has the unit Joule <em>(J)</em> which is the SI unit for energy.

C is wrong as it has the unit Newton <em>(N)</em> which is the SI unit for force.

D is wrong as it has the unit Coulomb <em>(C)</em> which is the SI unit of charge.

imagine riding a single-speed bicycle. why do you have to push harders on the pedals to start the bicycle moving than to keep it
Flura [38]
A large force is required to accelerate the mass of the bicycle and rider. Once the desired constant velocity is reached, a much smaller force is sufficient to overcome the ever-present frictional forces.
