In which of the following cases is the torque about the shoulder due to the weight of the arm the greatest? Case 1: A person hol

ds her arm at an angle of 30 above the horizontal (hand is higher than shoulder). Case 2: A person holds her amr straight out parallel to the ground. Case 3: A person holds her arm at an angle of 30o below the horizontal (hand is lower than shoulder).
If the person lets her arm swing freely from an initial straight-out parallel-to-the-ground position, when is the angular acceleration of the arm about the shoulder the greatest?
Case 1: Immediately after her arm begins to swing.
Case 2: When the arm is vertical.
Case 3: The angular acceleration is constant.

Answer: a) Case 2 b) Case 1

Explanation:

a) By definition, the magnitude of a torque, referred to a given point, is expressed as the product of the force that causes the torque, times the perpendicular distance to the reference point.

If we assume that the only force acting on the arm is the weight of the arm, and that this is concentrated in a point in the center of it (taking the arm as a solid bar with the center of mass at the mid-point), clearly the torque will be the greatest when the force be exactly perpendicular, which is the case of the arm placed straight out parallel to the ground (Case 2).

b)  As the torque and the angular acceleration are directly proportional each other (being the rotational inertia the proportionality constant) the angular acceleration will be maximum when torque be maximum also, which is the case that the arm begins to swim, due to the perpendicular distance to the shoulder is the maximum possible (Case 1).

PLEASE HELP 15 POINTSexplain properties and importance of light and how it separates into colors
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

It is not a property of light. It is your eyes and brain.

Specifically, the three kinds of cone cells in our eye that are sensitive to different ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. The fact that there are three means that color is three dimensional, and is the reason the pure colors form a circle even though the spectrum of wavelengths is linear.

Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum; light waves of different frequencies and wavelengths are distinguished as colors by the human eye. A prism can separate the colors of white light (dispersion) because different frequencies of light have different refractive indices for a given material.

When a falling meteoroid is at a distance above the earth's surface of 2.60 times the earth's radius, what is its acceleration d
Mice21 [21]

The gravitational acceleration at any distance r is given by

g=  \frac{GM}{r^2}

where G is the gravitational constant, M the Earth's mass and r is the distance measured from the center of the Earth.

The Earth's radius is r_e=6.37 \cdot 10^6 m, so the meteoroid is located at a distance of:

r=r_e+2.60 r_e =3.60 r_e =  2.29 \cdot 10^7 m

And by substituting this value into the previous formula, we can find the value of g at that altitude:

g=  \frac{GM}{r^2} =  \frac{(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})(5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(2.29 \cdot 10^7 m)^2} =0.75 m/s^2

if the displacement of a body is proportional to the square of time, state the nature of motion of the body ​
Liula [17]

Explanation:

If the displacement of an object is proportional to the square of the time taken then the body is moving with uniformly accelerated motion as it will follow Newton's second equation of motion for a particular initial velocity, which can be given by, s=ut+21at2.
