Chuck Norris’ leg angularly accelerates 3000°/s2 around the hip joint during a roundhouse kick in the transverse plane. The moment of inertia of the leg around the axis of rotation for this kick is 0.75 kg·m2. How large is the torque that produces Chuck Norris’ acceleration as he roundhouse kicks a dinosaur? Because the earth only started spinning after Chuck Norris gave it a roundhouse which caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Question
Chuck Norris’ leg angularly accelerates 3000°/s2 around the hip joint during a
roundhouse kick in the transverse plane. The moment of inertia of the leg around the axis
of rotation for this kick is 0.75 kg·m2. How large is the torque that produces Chuck
Norris’ acceleration as he roundhouse kicks a dinosaur? Because the earth only started
spinning after Chuck Norris gave it a roundhouse which caused the extinction of the
dinosaurs.
39.27 Nm
9. Bubba Watson is driving a golf ball off the tee. His downswing takes 0.50 s from the top
of the swing until ball impact. At the top of the swing, the club’s angular velocity is zero;
at the instant of ball impact, the club’s angular velocity is 30 rad/s. The swing moment of
inertia of the club about the grip is 0.220 kg·m2. What average torque does Bubba exert
on the golf club during the downswing? Maybe he will take all of Tiger’s money on the
LIV tour....
13.2 Nm
