An elephant's legs have a reasonably uniform cross section from top to bottom, and they are quite long, pivoting high on the ani

mal's body. When an elephant moves at a walk, it uses very little energy to bring its legs forward, simply allowing them to swing like pendulums. For fluid walking motion, this time should be half the time for a complete stride; as soon as the right leg finishes swinging forward, the elephant plants the right foot and begins swinging the left leg forward.

A thin rod of length 0.75 m and mass 0.42 kg is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to one side and then allowed to swin
Goshia [24]

Answer:

(A) 0.63 J  

(B) 0.15 m

Explanation:

length (L) = 0.75 m

mass (m) =0.42 kg

angular speed (ω) = 4 rad/s

To solve the questions (a) and (b) we first need to calculate the rotational inertia of the rod (I)

I = Ic + mh^{2}  

Ic is the rotational inertia of the rod about an axis passing trough its centre of mass and parallel to the rotational axis

h is the horizontal distance between the center of mass and the rotational axis of the rod

I = (\frac{1}{12})(mL^{2} ) + m([tex]\frac{L}{2})^{2}[/tex]

I = (\frac{1}{12})(0.42 x 0.75^{2} ) + ( 0.42 x ([tex]\frac{0.75}{2})^{2}[/tex])

I = 0.07875 kg.m^{2}

(A) rods kinetic energy = 0.5Iω^{2}

  = 0.5 x 0.07875 x 4^{2} = 0.63 J   0.15 m

(B) from the conservation of energy

   initial kinetic energy + initial potential energy = final kinetic energy + final potential energy

   Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

   at the maximum height velocity = 0 therefore final kinetic energy = 0

   Ki + Ui = Uf

   Ki = Uf - Ui

 Ki =  mg(H-h)

where (H-h) = rise in the center of mass

     0.63 = 0.42 x 9.8 x (H-h)

   (H-h) = 0.15 m

Which of the following changes would make a heat engine less efficient
DIA [1.3K]
A heat engine would be less efficient due to many factors 
For instance, a heat engine is more efficient when it uses in cold weather because there is a greater temperature difference ( Carnot Efficient )
A heat engine could be less efficient because of friction

a car is moving with a constant speed of 20 meters per second.What total distance does the car travel in 2 minutes
N76 [4]
There are 120 seconds in two minutes, so to find the answer, you multiply 20 x 120 to get 2400 meters.

While Robert was helping his father in the garden, he pushed a shovel into the ground to dig a hole in the dirt. He picked up a
makvit [3.9K]

Work done is given by the change in kinetic energy of an object

  • The kinetic energy of the shovel, the shrub, and in Robert's movement were changed, therefore, work is done in the given processes,

Reason:

Work is done when the total energy of object is affected by the application of force on the object over a distance

Therefore;

  • In option <em>A</em>, pushing the shovel into ground (to dig out the dirt) the requires the application of a force (push) over a distance, (into and out of the ground) therefore work is done
  • In option <em>B</em>, picking the shrub up gives it gravitational potential energy, therefore, work is done
  • In option <em>C</em>, carrying the shrub to the hole does visible work
  • In option <em>D</em>, holding the shrub while lowering it into the hole does work by preventing the shrub from falling randomly

Therefore, <u>work is done in the given processes</u>
