- Suppose as astronaut has landed on Mars. Fully equipped, the astronaut has a mass of 130 kg, and when the astronaut gets in scale, the reading is 477 N. What is the acceleration due to gravity on Mars?arrow_forward2. a) Label the system provided below, including the reference frame, moment arms and vector forces with the information provided. Internal moment arm = 4cm +0.04m External moment arm relative to the segment weight = 25cm 0.25m External moment arm relative to the load weight = 45cm 40.45m Segment weight = 50 N Load weight = 100 N Lower leg segment angle relative to horizontal plane = 45° Quadriceps tendon angle = 45° Axis of rotation MF SW LW 2b) Using the figure in 2a., calculate the external torque of the system relative to the normal component of segment and load weights listed above. 2c) Calculate the amount of both the tangential component of the muscle force and the muscle force itself required to keep this system in a state of static equilibrium.arrow_forwardUsing the above “mean-speed theorem”, calculate the average velocity of a car with constant acceleration from 0 km/hour (initial speed) to 80 km/hour (final speed) over a 5-minute period of time. average velocity over 5 minutes = 16 kilometers/hour average velocity over 5 minutes = 20 kilometers/hour average velocity over 5 minutes = 24 kilometers/hour average velocity over 5 minutes = 32 kilometers/hour average velocity over 5 minutes = 40 kilometers/hourarrow_forward

After ten seconds of clockwise rotation, the cord breaks. At what speed and in what direction does the ball fly, if it was faced north at time t = Os? Where and after how much time does the ball land on the ground that is 1 m below the plaine in which we rotate the string? {Solution: v= (0.37 m/s,2.37 m/s); d=1.07 m, t=0.447 s.) }arrow_forwardUsing the Michaelis-Mentan graph pictured (graphing initial velocity and PNPP concentration), identify Vmax and Km as well as possible. Then, using the Lineweaver-Burk graph (graphing 1/Vo and 1 / PNPP concentration), label the reciprocals of Vmax and Km on the graph and use them to calculate Km and Vmax.arrow_forward

Provide a quantitative example that illustrates the difference. B) During a squat, the weight you have on your shoulders has a certain amount of gravitational potential energy. As you squat down and come to a stop at the bottom of the squat, some of that energy is lost. Where does it go?arrow_forward
- A scientist was investigating if differences in the frictional work performed on a model car can change depending on its mass (in grams) and whether the car moves up or down an inclined plane. They decided to measure the amount of frictional force experienced by the model car and the distance it traveled in meters. The scientists were able to evaluate the frictional work using the following data. Mass (g) Distance (m) Force Work Done by Friction (J) car going up the incline 100 39 0.063 2.457 car going down the incline 70 39 0.2309 ? It is known that the relationship between force and distance determines the work done by friction (W+). W₁ = fd Wf work done by friction f = force d = distance Question: How much work done by friction was exerted on the car as it moved down the inclined plane?
