A gymnast's backflip is considered more difficult to do in the layout (straight body) position than in the tucked position. Why?

- The body's rotational inertia is greater in layout position than in tucked position. Because the body remains airborne for roughly the same time interval in either position, the gymnast must have much greater kinetic energy in tucked position to complete the backflip. - The body's rotational inertia is greater in tucked position than in layout position.

Answer:

The body's rotational inertia is greater in layout position than in tucked position. Because the body remains airborne for roughly the same time interval in either position, the gymnast must have much greater kinetic energy in layout position to complete the backflip.

Explanation:

A gymnast's backflip is considered more difficult to do in the layout (straight body) position than in the tucked position.

When the body is straight , its moment of rotational inertia is more than the case when he folds his body round. Hence rotational inertia ( moment of inertia x angular velocity ) is also greater. To achieve that inertia , there is need of greater imput of energy in the form of kinetic energy  which requires greater effort.

So a gymnast's backflip is considered more difficult to do in the layout (straight body) position than in the tucked position.

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Acceleration, a=1.2\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

The dogs of four-time Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race champion Jeff King pull two 100-kg sleds that are connected by a rope, m = 100 kg

Force exerted by the doges on the rope attached to the front sled, F = 240 N

To find,

The acceleration of the sleds.

Solution,

Let a is the acceleration of the sleds. The product of mass and acceleration is called force. Its expression is given by :

F = ma

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

a=\dfrac{240\ N}{2\times 100\ kg} (m = 2m)

a=1.2\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the sleds is 1.2\ m/s^2.

A truck is traveling down a road with a 4-percent grade at a speed of 75 mi/h when its brakes are applied to slow it down to 22.
kvasek [131]

Answer:

3.964 s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversion:

1 miles = 1.6 km = 1600 m.

1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds

75 mph = 75 * 1600 / 3600 = 33.3 m/s

22.5 mph = 22.5 * 1600/3600 = 10 m/s

Let g = 9.81 m/s2

Friction is the product of coefficient and normal force, which equals to the gravity

F_f = \mu N = \mu mg

The deceleration caused by friction is friction divided by mass according to Newton 2nd law.

a = F_f / m = \mu mg / m = \mu g = 0.6 *9.81 = 5.886 m/s^2

So the time required to decelerate from 33.3 m/s to 10 m/s so the wheels don't slide, with the rate of 5.886 m/s2 is

t = \frac{\Delta v}{a} = \frac{33.3 - 10}{5.886} = 3.964 s

Terminal velocity. A rider on a bike with the combined mass of 100kg attains a terminal speed of 15m/s on a 12% slope. Assuming
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

0.9378

Explanation:

Weight (W) of the rider = 100 kg;

since 1 kg = 9.8067 N

100 kg will be = 980.67 N

W = 980.67 N

At the slope of 12%, the angle θ is calculated as:

tan \ \theta = \dfrac{12}{100} \\ \\  tan \ \theta = 0.12 \\ \\  \theta = tan^{-1}(0.12) \\\\ \theta = 6.84^0

The drag force D = Wsinθ

\dfrac{1}{2}C_v \rho AV^2 = W sin \theta

where;

\rho = 1.23 \ kg/m^3

A = 0.9 m²

V = 15 m/s

∴

Drag coefficient C_D = \dfrac{2 *W*sin \theta}{\rho *A *V^2}

C_D =\dfrac{2 *980.67*sin 6.84}{1.23 *0.9 *15^2}

C_D =0.9378

The tonga trench in the pacific ocean is 36,000 feet deep. assuming that sea water has an average density of 1.04 g/cm3, calcula
MakcuM [25]
1110 atm    

Let's start by calculating how many cm deep is 36,000 feet. 

 36000 ft * 12 in/ft * 2.54 cm/in = 1097280 cm   

 Now calculate how much a column of water 1 cm square and that tall would mass. 

 1097280 cm * 1.04 g/cm^3 = 1141171.2 g/cm^2   

 We now have a number using g/cm^2 as it's unit and we desire a unit of Pascals ( kg/(m*s^2) ).  

 It's pretty obvious how to convert from g to kg. But going from cm^2 to m is problematical. Additionally, the s^2 value is also a problem since nothing in the value has seconds as an unit. This indicates that a value has been omitted. We need something with a s^2 term and an additional length term. And what pops into mind is gravitational acceleration which is m/s^2. So let's multiply that in after getting that cm^2 term into m^2 and the g term into kg.   

 1141171.2 g/cm^2 / 1000 g/kg * 100 cm/m * 100 cm/m = 11411712 kg/m^2 

 11411712 kg/m^2 * 9.8 m/s^2 = 111834777.6 kg/(m*s^2) = 111834777.6 Pascals   

 Now to convert to atm 

 111834777.6 Pa / 1.01x10^5 Pa/atm = 1107.2750 atm   

 Now we gotta add in the 1 atm that the atmosphere actually provides (but if you look closely, you'll realize that it won't affect the final result). 

 1107.274 atm + 1 atm = 1108.274 atm   

 And finally, round to 3 significant figures since that's the accuracy of our data, giving 1110 atm.
