Describe how work is done by a skater pulling in her arms during a spin. In particular, identify the force she exerts on each ar
liberstina [14]

Answer:

 ∑ τ =0,  L₀ = L_{f}

Explanation:

In a circular turning movement, when the arms are extended and then contracted in two possibilities:

- They are lowered the force of gravity is what pulls them, the tension of the muscle becomes zero to allow this movement.

    In this movement the force is vertical(gravity) and the movement of the center of mass of each arm is vertical, so that the work is the weight value of the arm by the distance traveled by the center of mass.

- Another possibility is that the arms have stuck to the body, in this case the person's muscles perform the force, this force is horizontal and the displacement is the horizontal of the center of mass of the arms from the extended position to the contracted

 

In these movements the torque of the external force is equal for each arm, but in the opposite direction, so they are canceled where a net torque of zero, this causes the angular momentum to be preserved, which changes is the moment of inertia of the system and therefore you must also change the angular velocity to keep your product constant

          ∑ τ =0

                L₀ = L_{f}

              I₀ w₀ = I w

A light-year is the distance that light travels in one year. The speed of light is 3.00 × 108 m/s. How many miles are there in o
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

(a) 5.88\times 10^{12}mi

Explanation:

We have given speed of light c=3\times 10^8m/sec

Given time = 1 year =365 days

We know that in 1 minute = 60 sec

1 hour = 60×60 = 3600 sec

In one day = 24 hour = 24×60×60=86400 sec

So in 365 days = 365×86400=3.1536\times 10^7sec

We know that distance = speed ×time=3.1536\times 10^7\times 3\times 10^8=9.46\times 10^{15}m

We have given that 1 mi = 1609 m

So 9.46\times 10^{15}m=\frac{9.46\times 10^{15}}{1609}=5.88\times 10^{12}miSo option (a) is correct

In an experiment, students measure the position x of a cart as a function of time t for a cart that starts at rest and moves wit
Minchanka [31]

Given :

Initial velocity , u = 0 m/s² .

To Find :

The acceleration of the cart.

Solution :

Since, acceleration is constant.

Using equation of motion :

x = ut + \dfrac{at^2}{2}\\\\x = \dfrac{at^2}{2}

Putting, t = 1 s  and x = 4 m in above equation, we get :

4 = \dfrac{a(1)^2}{2}\\\\a = 8 \  m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the cart is 8 m/s².

A pendulum is used in a large clock. The pendulum has a mass of 2 kg. If the pendulum is moving at a speed of 2.9 m/s when it re
Rufina [12.5K]
This is a classic example of conservation of energy. Assuming that there are no losses due to friction with air we'll proceed by saying that the total energy mus be conserved.
E_m=E_k+E_p
Now having information on the speed at the lowest point we can say that the energy of the system at this point is purely kinetic:
E_m=Ek=\frac{1}{2}mv^2
Where m is the mass of the pendulum. Because of conservation of energy, the total energy at maximum height won't change, but at this point the energy will be purely potential energy instead.
E_m=E_p
This is the part where we exploit the Energy's conservation, I'm really insisting on this fact right here but it's very very important, The totam energy Em was
E_M=\frac{1}{2}mv^2
It hasn't changed! So inserting this into the equation relating the total energy at the highest point we'll have:
E_p=mgh=E_m=\frac{1}{2}mv^2
Solving for h gives us:
h=\frac{v^2}{2g}.
It doesn't depend on mass!
