The moment of inertia of the human body about an axis through its center of mass is important in the application of biomechanics to sports such as diving and gymnastics. we can measure the body’s moment of inertia in a particular position while a person remains in that position on a horizontal turntable, with the body’s center of mass on the turntable’s rotational axis. the turntable with the person on it is then accelerated from rest by a torque that is produced by using a rope wound around a pulley on the shaft of the turntable. from the measured tension in the rope and the angular acceleration, we can calculate the body’s moment of inertia about an axis through its center of mass. the moment of inertia of the empty turntable is 1.5kg m2. with a constant torque of 2.5n⋅m, the turntable–person system takes 3.0 s to spin from rest to an angular speed of 1.0 rad/s. what is the person’s moment of inertia about an axis through her center of mass? ignore friction in the turntable axle. (a) 2.5kg⋅m2; (b) 6.0kg⋅m2; (c) 7.5kg⋅m2; (d) 9.0kg⋅m2.

Sawyer is studying diffraction. he draws a diagram of a plane wave to show how light waves travel. which best describes sawyer’s error? the wave fronts should be perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing to the left. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing downward. the wave fronts should be both parallel and perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move.
