What is a vertebrae?

Physics
1 answer:
never [62]3 years ago
4 0

Vertebrae are the 33 individual, interlocking bones that form the spinal column. Each vertebra has three main functional components: the vertebral body for load-bearing, the vertebral arch to protect the spinal cord, and transverse processes for ligament attachment. The spinal column consists of seven cervical, twelve thoracic, and five lumbar vertebrae in addition to five fused vertebrae of the sacral region and four fused vertebrae forming the coccyx. The vertebrae in each region have unique features that help them perform their main functions. Vertebrae are interconnected by facet joints that allow mobility in the spine. Inter vertebral discs separate the individual bones providing additional weight-bearing support.

Why is Earth’s North Pole a geographic north pole but a south seeking pole magnetically?
natima [27]

Answer:It is actually the South Magnetic pole

Explanation:The magnetic pole near earth's geographic north pole is actually the south magnetic pole. When it comes to magnets, opposites attract. This fact means that the north end of a magnet in a compass is attracted to the south magnetic pole, which lies close to the geographic north pole.

an audio CD has a diameter of 120 mm and spins at up to 540 rpm. When a CD is spinning at its maximum rate, how much time is req
Andru [333]

Answer:

 t = 0.1111 s

Explanation:

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

    d = 120 mm (1m / 1000 mm)

    d= 0.120 m

    w = 540 rpm (2pi rad / 1 rev) (1 min / 60s)  

     w= 56.55 rad / s

When at maximum speed we can use angular kinematic relationships to find the time for a sperm revolution with zero angular acceleration

     W = θ / t

     t = θ / w

     t = 2π / 56.55

     t = 0.1111 s

A normal walking speed is around 2.0 m/s . how much time t does it take the box to reach this speed if it has the acceleration 5
creativ13 [48]

Given:

u(initial velocity)=0

a=5.54m/s^2

v(final velocity)=2 m/s

v=u +at

Where v is the final velocity.

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration.

t is the time

2=0+5.54t

t=2/5.54

t=0.36 sec

How would you find the total energy stored in the
likoan [24]

Answer:

The energy of the capacitors connected in parallel is 0.27 J

Given:

C = 2.0\micro F = 2.0\times 10^{- 6} F

C' = 4.0\micro F = 4.0\times 10^{- 6} F

Potential difference, V = 300 V

Solution:

Now, we know that the equivalent capacitance of the two parallel connected capacitors is given by:

C_{eq} = C + C' = 2.0 + 4.0 = 6.0\micro F = 6.0\times 10^{- 6} F

The energy of the capacitor, E is given by;

E = \frac{1}{2}C_{eq}V^{2}

E = \frac{1}{2}\times 6.0\times 10^{- 6}\times 300^{2} = 0.27 J

A box of mass 1 kg is hung from a spring scale. The reading on the spring scale is approximately 10N. What would be the reading
8090 [49]
The answer will be 50N.
This is because the spring reads weight and weight is mass times acceleration due to gravity.5kg*10m/s2=50N
