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).

Which statement is true about effective nuclear charge?a. Effective nuclear charge decreases as we move to the right across a ro
MissTica

Answer:

Option b. Effective nuclear charge increases as we move to the right across a row in the periodic table

Explanation:

The <em>effective nuclear charge </em>is a measure of how strong the protons in the nucleus of an atom attract the outermost electrons of such atom.

The <em>effective nuclear charge</em> is the net positive charge experienced by valence electrons and is calculated (as an approximation) by the equation: Zeff = Z – S, where Z is the atomic number and S is the number of shielding electrons.

The shielding electrons are those electrons in between the interesting electrons and the nucleus of the atom.

Since the shielding electrons are closer to the nucleus, they repel the outermost electrons and so cancel some of the attraction exerted by the positive charge of the nucleus, meaning that the outermost electrons feel less the efect of attraction of the protons. That is why in the equation of Zeff, the shielding electrons (S) subtract the total from the atomic number Z.

The <em>effective nuclear charge</em>, then, is responsible for some properties and trends in the periodic table. Here, you can see how this explains the trend of the atomic radius (size of the atom) accross a row in the periodic table.

  • As the<em> effective nuclear charge</em> is larger, in a same row of the periodic table, the shielding effect is lower, the outermost electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus, and the size of the atoms decrease. That is why as we move to the right in the periodic table, the size of the atoms decrease.
