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).

The triceps muscle in the back of the upper arm extends the forearm. This muscle in a professional boxer exerts a force of 2.00
xenn [34]

Answer:

0.496 kg m^2

Explanation:

The torque exerted is given by

\tau = Fd

where

F=2.00 \cdot 10^3 N is the force applied

d = 3.10 cm = 0.031 m is the length of the lever arm

Substituting,

\tau=(2.00\cdot 10^3 N)(0.031 m)=62 Nm

The equivalent of Newton's second law for rotational motion is:

\tau = I \alpha

where

\tau = 62 Nm is the net torque

I is the moment of inertia

\alpha = 125 rad/s^2 is the angular acceleration

Solving the equation for I, we find

I=\frac{\tau}{\alpha}=\frac{62 Nm}{125 rad/s^2}=0.496 kg m^2

A child jumps from a moving sled with a speed of 2.2 m/s and in the
butalik [34]

The initial velocity of the sled will be 7.34 m/sec. V is the initial velocity of the sled.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of momentum?</h3>

According to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the body before the collision is always equal to the momentum of the body after the collision.

The given data in the problem is;

(m₁)  mass of child = 38 kg

(u₁) is the initial velocity child = 2.2 m/s

(m₂) is the mass of sled = 68 kg

(u₂) is the initial velocity of sled = ?

(v) is the velocity after collision = 5.5 m/s

According to the law of conservation of momentum;

Momentum before collision =Momentum after collision

\rm  m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 = v(m_1 + m_2)\\\\(38 \times  2.2) + (68 \times V) = 5.5 \times (38+68) \\\\ 83.6 + 68V = 5.5 \times 106 \\\\  83.6 + 68V =583 \\\\ \rm 68\ V= 583 -83.6 \\\\ \rm 68 \ V= 499.4\\\\ V= 7.34 \ m/sec

Hence,the initial velocity of the sled will be 7.34 m/sec.

A 75.0kg bicyclist (including the bicycle) is pedaling to the right, causing her speed to increase at a rate of 2.20m/s^2, despi
aniked [119]

1) 4 forces

2) 165 N

3) 225 N

Explanation:

1)

There are in total 4 forces acting on the bicylist:

- The gravitational force on the byciclist, acting vertically downward, of magnitude mg, where m is the mass of the bicyclist and g is the acceleration due to gravity

- The normal force exerted by the floor on the bicyclist and the bike, N, vertically upward, and of same magnitude as the gravitational force

- The force of push F, acting horizontally forward, given by the push exerted by the bicylist on the pedals

- The air drag, R, of magnitude R = 60.0 N, acting horizontally backward, in the direction opposite to the motion of the bicyclist

2)

The magnitude of the net force on the bicyclist can be calculated by considering separately the two directions.

- Along the vertical direction, we have the gravitational force (downward) and the normal force (upward); these two forces are equal in magnitude, since the acceleration of the bicyclist along this direction is zero, therefore the net force in this direction is zero.

- Along the horizontal direction, the two forces (forward force of push and air drag) are balanced, since the acceleration is non-zero, so we can use Newton's second law of motion to find the net force on the bicylist:

F_{net}=ma

where

F_{net} is the net force

m = 75.0 kg is the mass of the bicyclist

a=2.20 m/s^2 is its acceleration

Solving, we find the net force:

F_{net}=(75.0)(2.20)=165 N

3)

In this part, we basically want to find the forward force of push, F.

We can rewrite the net force acting on the bicyclist as

F_{net}=F-R

where:

F is the forward force of push

R is the air drag

We know that:

F_{net}=165 N is the net force on the bicyclist

R = 60.0 N is the magnitude of the air drag

Therefore, by re-arranging the equation, we can find the force generated by the bicylicst by pedaling:

F=F_{net}+R=165+60=225 N
