At its natural resting length, a muscle is close to its optimallength for producing force. As the muscle contracts, the maximumf

orce it can deliver decreases. When a muscle is at approximately80\% of its natural length, it cannotcontract much more and the force it can produce drops drastically.For a muscle stretched beyond its natural length, the same is true.At about 120\% of its natural length, the forcethat a muscle can exert again drops drastically.
This muscle length to force relationship can be demonstrated bydoing a chin-up. As you hang from the bar, your biceps muscles arestretched and can produce only a relatively small force. As you getclose to the bar, your biceps muscles contract substantially, andyou again experience difficulty. The easiest part of the chin-upoccurs somewhere in between, when your muscles are close to theirnatural length.



Imagine hanging from a chin-up bar and beginning a chin-up.Which of the following velocity versus time graphs best representsthe first part of your motion (from being at rest to beingapproximately halfway to the bar)? Assume you are trying to do thechin-up as quickly as possible.

Answer:

Figure E is the correct representation of the first part of the motion. When in a hanging position from the chin-up bar, the bicep muscles are stretched beyond their normal length already. So at this point they are at the peak of their capacity and you are at rest (this corresponds to the velocity v = 0 at t = 0). On contracting the bicep muscles and pulling your whole body up, you begin to gain speed and v increases. This increase in velocity is exponential. Soon the bicep muscles contract up to 80% their normal length reducing the force they can produce to keep you rising up to zero. The velocity change happens because the body is accelerating and the muscles can still supply a net force to lift you up. The acceleration is present because of this net force. The moment this force reduces to zero, the acceleration too reduces to zero. (From Newton's second law of motion). This reduction in acceleration is responsible for the reduction of the curvature of the v curve in figure E above. The point where the velocity becomes horizontal corresponds to the point where the muscles reach their maximum contraction unit and can supply no more net force and as a result no acceleration. This further results inba constant velocity which is the flat nature of the curve seen in diagram E.

Thank you for reading.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

S = V0 t + 1/2 a t^2

S = 5 m/s * 300 s + 1/2 * 1.2 m/s * (300 s^2)

S = 1500 m + .6 * 90000 m = 55,500 m

Check:     V0 = 5 m/s

                V2 = V0 + a t  = 5 + 1.2 * 300 = 365 m/s

Vav = (V1 + V2) / 2 = (5 + 365) / 2 = 185 m/s     (note uniform motion)

S = 185 * 300 = 55,500 m

We calculated V2 above at 365 m/s  the speed after 300 sec

Two students are watching a person riding a skateboard up and down a ramp. Each student shares what they think about the energy
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that , If the frictional force on a system is zero , then the total energy of a system will be conserved.

By using energy conservation

KE₁ +  U₁ = KE₂ + U₂

KE₁=Kinetic energy at location 1

U₁ =Potential energy at location 1

KE₂=Kinetic energy at location 2

U₂=Potential energy at location 2

Therefore, Raymond is thinking in a right way.

Margaret [11]

Answer: 1.176×10^-3 s

Explanation: The time constant formulae for an RC circuit is given below as

t =RC

Where t = time constant , R = magnitude of resistance = 21 ohms , C = capacitance of capacitor = 56 uf = 56×10^-6 F

t = 56×10^-6 × 21

t = 1176×10^-6

t = 1.176×10^-3 s

In which direction does a bag at rest move when a force of 20 newtons is applied from the right? A. in the direction of the appl
-Dominant- [34]

The correct answer is A. In the direction of applied force. This is because acceleration occurs n the direction of applied force according to Newtons second law of motion which states that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction of force.

A 1090 kg car has four 12.7 kg wheels. When the car is moving, what fraction of the total kinetic energy of the car is due to ro
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = 0.018

Explanation:

To develop this exercise we proceed to use the kinetic energy equations,

In the end we replace

KE_{Total}=KE_{Translational}+KE_{Rotational}

KE_{Total}=\frac{1}{2}m_{car}+4*\frac{1}{2}*I*(\frac{v}{r})^2

Here

I=\frac{1}{2}m_{wheels}*r^2 meaning the 4 wheels,

So replacing

KE_{Rotational}=4\frac{1}{2}*(\frac{1}{2}m_{wheels}*r^2)*(\frac{v}{r})^2=m*v^2

So,

\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = \frac{m_{wheels}*v^2}{\frac{1}{2}m_{car}*v^2+m_{wheels}*v^2}

\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = \frac{m_{wheels}}{\frac{1}{2}m_{car}+m_{wheels}}

\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} =  \frac{10}{545+10}

\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = 0.018
