A person slaps her leg with her hand, which results in her hand coming to rest in a time interval of 2.65 ms from an initial spe

ed of 5.25 m/s . What is the magnitude of the average contact force exerted on the leg, assuming the total mass of the hand and the forearm to be 1.75 kg

Answer:

the magnitude of the average contact force exerted on the leg is 3466.98 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Initial velocity of hand v₀ = 5.25 m/s

final velocity of hand v = 0 m/s

time interval t = 2.65 ms = 0.00265 s

mass of hand m = 1.75 kg

We calculate force on the hand F $_{hand$

using equation for impulse in momentum

F $_{hand$ × t = m( v - v₀ )

we substitute

F $_{hand$ × 0.00265 = 1.75( 0 - 5.25 )

F $_{hand$ × 0.00265 = 1.75( - 5.25 )

F $_{hand$ × 0.00265 = -9.1875

F $_{hand$ = -9.1875 / 0.00265

F $_{hand$ = -3466.98 N

Next we determine force on the leg F $_{leg$

Using Newton's third law of motion

for every action, there is an equal opposite reaction;

so, F $_{leg$ = - F $_{hand$

we substitute

F $_{leg$ = - ( -3466.98 N )

F $_{leg$ = 3466.98 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the average contact force exerted on the leg is 3466.98 N

Answer:

The amplitude is $A = 90.2 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The frequency of when sound is approaching observer is $f = 392 Hz$

The frequency as the move away from observer is $f_ a = 330 \ Hz$

The time between the pitch are $t = 10 \ s$

Here you are the observer and your friends are the source of the sound

The period is mathematically evaluated as

$T = 2 t$

as it is the time to complete one oscillation which from on highest pitch to the next highest pitch

Now T can also be mathematically represented as

$T = \frac{2 \pi}{w}$

Where $w$ is the angular velocity

=> $\frac{2 \pi}{w} = 2 * 10$

=> $w = 0.314 \ rad/sec$

Now using Doppler Effect,

The source of the sound is approaching the observer

The

$f = f_o (\frac{v}{v- wA} )$

$392 = f_o (\frac{v}{v- wA} )$

Where A is the amplitude

So when the source is moving away from the observer

$f_a = f_o (\frac{v}{v+ wA} )$

$330 = f_o (\frac{v}{v+ wA} )$

Here $f_o$ is the fundamental frequency

Dividing the both equation we have

$\frac{392}{330} = \frac{f_o(\frac{v}{v-wA} )}{f_o(\frac{v}{v+wA}}$

$1.1878 = \frac{v+wA}{v-wA}$

$1.1878 v - 1.1878 wA = v+wA$

$1.1878 v = 2.1878 wA$

=> $A = \frac{(0.1878 * (330))}{(2.1878)* (0.314)}$

$A = 90.2 \ m$

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The answer is " $1.01 \times 10^{-13}$ "

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation for energy. Equating the kinetic energy to the potential energy.

$KE=U=\frac{kqq'}{r}\\\\$

Calculating the closest distance:

$\to r=\frac{kqq'}{KE}\\\\$

$=\frac{k(2e)(79e)}{KE}\\\\=\frac{k(2)(79)e^2}{KE}\\\\=\frac{9.0\times 10^9 \ N \cdot \frac{m^2}{c}(2)(79)(1.6 \times10^{-19} \ C)^2}{(2.25\ meV) (\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-13} \ J}{1 \ MeV})}\\\\$

$=\frac{9.0\times 10^9 \times 2\times 79\times 1.6 \times10^{-19}\times 1.6 \times10^{-19} }{(2.25 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-13}) }\\\\=\frac{3,640.32\times 10^{-29}}{3.6 \times 10^{-13} }\\\\=\frac{3,640.32}{3.6} \times 10^{-16}\\\\=1011.2 \times 10^{-16}\\\\=1.01 \times 10^{-13}$

3. Will a plant grow higher with more light?

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

When we analyze the sentence we see that this is a hypotype with the growth of plants must behave and it has a prediction included.

Therefore the correct answer is a

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to identify the given sentence with a specific part of the scientific method.

Among the parts of the method we have.

* Independent variable . The controlled variable in research

*Dependent variable. The magnitude measured in the experiment

* Control variable. The magnitude that is not controlled

*Experiment. It is the design of the procedure to evaluate the hypothesis

* Hypothesis. It is the assumption with which scientific work begins

* Prediction. It is a consequence of work if the mortgage is correct.

When we analyze the sentence we see that this is a hypotype with the growth of plants must behave and it has a prediction included.

Therefore the correct answer is a
