The knee extensors insert on the tibia at an angle of 30 degrees (from the longitudinal axis of the tibia), at a distance of 3 c

m from the axis of rotation at the knee. How much force must the knee extensors exert to produce an angular acceleration at the knee of 1 rad/s2 , given a mass of the lower leg and foot of 4.5 kg, and a radius of gyration of 23 cm

Answer:

the knee extensors must exert 15.87 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mass m = 4.5 kg

radius of gyration k = 23 cm = 0.23 m

angle ∅ = 30°

∝ = 1 rad/s²

distance of 3 cm from the axis of rotation at the knee r = 3 cm = 0.03 m

using the expression;

ζ = I∝

ζ = mk²∝

we substitute

ζ = 4.5 × (0.23)² × 1

ζ  = 0.23805 N-m

so

from; ζ = rFsin∅

F = ζ / rsin∅

we substitute

F = 0.23805 / (0.03 × sin( 30 ° )

F = 0.23805 / (0.03 × 0.5)

F F = 0.23805 / 0.015

F = 15.87 N

Therefore, the knee extensors must exert 15.87 N

1. Why did Asteroid 2019 OK cause concern among scientists? * The asteroid was not detected until it was extremely close to Eart
AveGali [126]

Answer:

<u>The asteroid was not detected until it was extremely close to Earth. </u>

Explanation:

According to data from NASA, the Asteroid named 'Astriod 2019 OK', was detected when it was extremely close to earth with just about an estimated distance of  73,000 kilometers  (45,000 miles) from the Earth.

Scientists were concerned at the proximity of this space object to the Earth before it was discovered, and it brought about a cause of concern that since it was not extremely large (estimated 57 to 130 meters wide) it creates a potential for other smaller asteroids to escape detection and struck the earth.

A small package is attached to a helium-filled balloon rising at 2 m/s. The package drops from the balloon when it is 14 meters
scZoUnD [109]
I would assume air resistance is negligible and so the acceleration of the package would be approximately 9.81 m/s².

Taking downwards as positive, use v²=u²+2as.
v²=(-2)²+2(9.81)(14)
v=16.7 m/s

Two fat black arrows are swimming along together, when they see a single skinny black arrow coming toward them. They are afraid of strangers, and they know that the skinny one must be mean and tough if it's not afraid to travel alone. So they turn to the side and get out of the skinny arrow's way.
