In order to model the motion of an extinct ape, scientists measure its hand and arm bones. From shoulder to wrist, the arm bones

are 0.60 m long and their mass is 4.0 kg. From wrist to the tip of the fingers, the hand bones are 0.10 m long and their mass is 1.0 kg. In the model above, each bone is assumed to have a uniform density. When the arm and hand hang straight down, the distance from the shoulder to the center of mass of the arm-hand system is most nearly

Answer:

0.37 m

Explanation:

Let the shoulder be the origin.

The center of mass of the arm bones is 0.60 m/2 = 0.30 m and the center of mass of the hand bones is 0.10 m/2 = 0.05 m since they are modeled as straight rods with uniform density and the center of mass of a rod is x = L/2 where L is the length of the rod.

The center of mass y = (m₁y₁ + m₂y₂)/(m₁ + m₂) where m₁ = mass of arm bones = 4.0 kg, y₁ = distance center of mass of arm bones  from shoulder = 0.30 m, m₂ = mass of hand bones = 1.0 kg and y₂ = distance of center of mass hand bones from shoulder = x₁ + distance of center of hand bones from wrist = 0.60 m + 0.05 m = 0.65 m

Substituting these into the equation for the center of mass, we have

y = (m₁y₁ + m₂y₂)/(m₁ + m₂)

y = (4.0 kg × 0.30 m + 1.0 kg × 0.65 m)/(4.0 kg + 1.0 kg)

y = (1.20 kgm + 0.65 kgm)/5.0 kg

y = 1.85 kgm/5.0 kg

y =  0.37 m

The distance of the center of mass from the shoulder is thus y = 0.37 m

A cylindrical Nickel rod (9 mm diameter, 50 m long) is pulled in tension with a load of 6,283 N. What would the elongation of th
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

0.29 m

Explanation:

9 mm = 0.009 m in diameter

Cross-sectional area A = \pi d^2/4 = \pi * 0.009^2/4 = 6.36\times 10^{-5} m^2

Let the tensile modulus of Nickel E = 170 \times 10^9Pa.

The elongation of the rod can be calculated using the following formula:

\Delta L = \frac{F L}{A E} = \frac{6283*50}{6.36\times 10^{-5} * 170 \times 10^9} = \frac{314150}{1081200} = 0.29 m

Draw/Label a motor OR give directions in words on how to build a motor.
Nina [5.8K]

you take a length of ordinary wire, make it into a big loop, and lay it between the poles of a powerful, permanent horseshoe magnet. Now if you connect the two ends of the wire to a battery, the wire will jump up briefly.When an electric current starts to creep along a wire, it creates a magnetic field all around it. If you place the wire near a permanent magnet, this temporary magnetic field interacts with the permanent magnet's field.
