Answer:

The law of inertia is another name for Newton's first law. Newton's first law states that an object will not change its motion or direction unless a force acts on it. An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion if there isn't any force acting on them.

Example: When a car uses its brakes to stop, you sometimes feel like you are sliding forward. That is because the inertia keeps you moving forward, even though the car stopped.

Answer

Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its velocity. This includes changes to the object's speed, or direction of motion. An aspect of this property is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed, when no forces act upon them.

Even when the head is held erect, as in the figure below, its center of mass is not directly over the principal point of support

alexandr1967 [171]

We are asked to determine the force required by the neck muscle in order to keep the head in equilibrium. To do that we will add the torques produced by the muscle force and the weight of the head. We will use torque in the clockwise direction to be negative, therefore, we have:

$\Sigma T=r_{M\perp}(F_M)-r_{W\perp}(W)$

Since we want to determine the forces when the system is at equilibrium this means that the total sum of torque is zero:

$r_{M\perp}(F_M)-r_{W\perp}(W)=0$

Now, we solve for the force of the muscle. First, we add the torque of the weight to both sides:

$r_{M\perp}(F_M)=r_{W\perp}(W)$

Now, we divide by the distance of the muscle:

$(F_M)=\frac{r_{W\perp}(W)}{r_{M\perp}}$

Now, we substitute the values:

$F_M=\frac{(2.4cm)(50N)}{5.1cm}$

Now, we solve the operations:

$F_M=23.53N$

Therefore, the force exerted by the muscles is 23.53 Newtons.

Part B. To determine the force on the pivot we will add the forces we add the vertical forces:

$\Sigma F_v=F_j-F_M-W$

Since there is no vertical movement the sum of vertical forces is zero:

$F_j-F_M-W=0$

Now, we add the force of the muscle and the weight to both sides to solve for the force on the pivot:

$F_j=F_M+W$

Now, we plug in the values:

$F_j=23.53N+50N$

Solving the operations:

$F_j=73.53N$

Therefore, the force is 73.53 Newtons.

For what absolute value of the phase angle does a source deliver 71 % of the maximum possible power to an RLC circuit

kherson [118]

Answer: the absolute value of the phase angle is 28°

Explanation:

taking a look at expression for the instantaneous electric power in an AC circuit;

P = VI -------let this be equation 1

p is power, v is voltage and I is current;

for maximum power

P_max = V_rms × I_rms --------let this be equ 2

where P_max is the maximum power, V_rms is the rms value of voltage and I_rms is the rms value of current.

Also for average electric power in an AC circuit

P_avg = V_rms × I_rms × cos²∅ -------let this be equ 3

where P_avg is the average power and cos∅ is the power factor

now from equation 2; P_max = V_rms × I_rms

so p_max replaces V_rms × I_rms in equation 3

we now have

P_avg = P_max × cos²∅

so we substitute

expression for the given value of the average power is

P_avg = P_max × 75%

p_avg = P_max.78/100

for the expression of the average electricity in an AC circuit

P_max.78/100 = P_max × cos²∅

78/100 = cos²∅

to get the absolute value of phase angle

∅ = cos⁻¹ ( √(78/100))

∅ = cos⁻¹ ( 0.8832)

∅ = 27.969 ≈ 28°

Therefore the absolute value of the phase angle is 28°

Aristotle said that a moving earthly or `mundane' object with nothing pushing or pulling on it will always A slow down and stop.

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

A slow down and stop

Explanation:

When there is no force acting on something it automatically begins to slow down and then stops.Essentially, Aristotle's perspective of motion is that "it requires a force to move an object in an unnatural" way— or, plainly, that "movement involves strength." Indeed, if you propel a book, it keeps moving. Once you stop trying to push, it comes to a stop.

Please help! Calculate velocity. Show all work!

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

v = 23.66 m/s

Explanation:

recall that one of the equations of motion may be expressed:

v² = u² + 2as,

Where

v = final velocity (we are asked to find this)

u = initial velocity = 0 m/s since we are told that it starts from rest

a = acceleration = 0.56m/s²

s = distance traveled = given as 500m

Simply substitute the known values into the equation:

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0 + 2(0.56)(500)

v² = 560

v = √560

v = 23.66 m/s
