When a simple machine multiplies force, it decreases (B) Distance moved, force is described as an interaction, which, unopposed, will change the motion of an object, the potential energy, however, remains the same.

Elza [17]

Answer: The correct option is B (The Young's modulus of women's ACLS is typically smaller than that of men's, resulting in more stress for the same amount of strain)

Explanation:

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the important ligaments found at the knee joint which helps to stabilise the joint. It connects the femur to the tibia bone at the knee joint.

Anterior cruciate ligament tear is one of the common knee joint injury which is seen in individuals( especially females) involved in sports( example soccer and basketball which involves sudden change in direction causing the knee to rotate inwards)

ACL tear occurs through both contact and non contact mechanisms. The contact mechanism of ACL injury occurs when force is directly applied at the lateral part of the knee while in non contact mechanism,tear occurs when the tibia is externally rotated on the planted foot.

Research has proven that women are prone to have ACL tear than men when competing in similar sports. This disparity exists due to structural differences that pose as risk factors. These includes

- the female ACL size is smaller than the male.

- the ACL of female has a lower modulus if elasticity( that is, less stiff) than in males leading to greater joint mobility than in the male.. therefore the option, (The Young's modulus of women's ACLS is typically smaller than that of men's, resulting in more stress for the same amount of strain) is correct.

Plane-polarized light is incident on a single polarizing disk, with the direction of E0 parallel to the direction of the transmi

Vladimir [108]

Answer: $65.9^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Given

Intensity must be reduced by a factor of 6

Intensity is given by $I=I_o\cos ^2\theta\\$

Substitute $I$ by $\frac{I_o}{6}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_o}{6}=I_o\cos ^2\theta\\\\\Rightarrow \cos^2\theta =\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow \cos \theta=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{6}}\\\\\Rightarrow \theta=65.9^{\circ}$

So, the disk must be rotated by an angle of $65.9^{\circ}$ .

At a circus, a human cannonball is shot from a cannon at 15m/s at an angle of 40° above horizontal. She

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The height is $H = 6.74 \ m$

The horizontal distance is $D = 23.74 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed is $v = 15 \ m/s$

The angle is $\theta = 40^o$

The height of the cannon from the ground is h = 2 m

The distance of the net from the ground is k = 1 m

Generally the maximum height she reaches is mathematically represented as

$H = \frac{v^2 sin^2 \theta }{2 * g } + h$

=> $H = \frac{(15)^2 [sin (40)]^2 }{2 * 9.8} + 2$

=> $H = 6.74 \ m$

Generally from kinematic equation

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

Here s is the displacement which is mathematically represented as

s = [-(h-k)]

=> s = -(2-1)

=> s = -1 m

There reason why s = -1 m is because upward motion canceled the downward motion remaining only the distance of the net from the ground which was covered during the first half but not covered during the second half

a = -g = -9.8

$u = v sin (\theta)$
