Tendon Sheath - is a specialized bursa that wraps around a tendon to reduce friction.

<h3>What is Tendon Sheath ?</h3>

Tendon Sheath is a thin layer of tissue, surrounds each tendon in our body. The tendon sheath can also be called synovial lining or fibrous sheath. Tendon sheaths help to protect tendons from abrasive damage as they move.

Connection between Bursa and Tendon Sheath : Bursae are small fluid-filled sacs that can lie under a tendon, cushioning the tendon and protecting it from the injury. Bursae also provides an extra cushioning to adjacent structures that otherwise might rub against each other, which will cause wear and tear ( example, between a bone and a ligament ) .

So, lastly we can say that Tendon Sheath is the specialized bursa that wraps around a tendon to reduce friction.

The classic Millikan oil-drop experiment was the first to obtain an accurate measurement of the charge on an electron. In it, oi

Sati [7]

Answer:

$1.56\times 10^5 N/C$

Explanation:

The electric field that will balance the weight of the oil drop can be calculated using the following:

electric force, F = e E ( where, e is the charge of an electron and E is the electric field)

weight, W = 2.5 ×10⁻¹⁴ N

e E = W

$E =\frac{W}{e}$

Substitute the values:

$E =\frac{ 2.5 \times 10^{-14} N}{1.6\times10^{-19}C}= 1.56\times 10^5 N/C$

What is the velocity of an object that has a momentum of 4,000 kg-m/s and a mass of 115 kg? Round to the nearest hundredth.

julia-pushkina [17]

<h2>Answer: 34.78 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The momentum $p$ is given by the following equation:

$p=m.V$ (1)

Where:

$m$ is the mass of the object

$V$ is the velocity of the object

Finding the velocity from (1):

$V=\frac{p}{m}$ (2)

$V=\frac{4000kg.m/s}{115kg}$

<u>Finally:</u>

$V=34.78m/s$ >>>This is the velocity of the object

Usimov [2.4K]

Snell's law states that:

n1 Sin∅1 = n2 Sin ∅2

Where, medium 1 with (n1 = 1.33) is water and medium 2 with (n2 = 1) is the air, ∅1 = 90-50 = 40°

Therefore,
Sin ∅2 = n1/n2 *Sin ∅1 = 1.33/1 *Sin 40 = 0.4833=> ∅1 = Sin ^- (0.4833) = 28.9 °

The fisherman the sun at 61.1° (90-∅2) above the horizontal.
