When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth. If the muscle generates a force of 43.

5 N and it is acting with an effective lever arm of 1.95 cm , what is the torque that the muscle produces on the wrist

To solve this problem, we must take two important steps. First we will convert all the given units, to international system. Later we will define the torque, which is given as the product between the radius of application of the force and the Force acting on the body. Mathematically the latter is,

\tau = r F

Here,

r = Radius

F = Force

Now the units,

r = 1.95cm = 1.95*10^{-2}m

Replacing,

\tau = (1.95*10^{-2})(43.5N)

\tau = 0.8483N\cdot m

Therefore the torque that the muscle produces on the wrist is 0.85N\cdot m

A robin in flight has 20.8 J of PE when it is 27.6 m high. What is the mass of the robin? (Unit = kg)
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

<h2>\boxed{  \bold{ \purple{0.0769 \: kg \: }}}</h2>

Explanation:

\sf{Potential   Energy ( P.E ) \:  =  \: 20.8 \: joule}

\sf{distance \:  = 27.6 \: metre}

\sf{mass = } ?

\sf{acceleration \: due \: to \: gravity = 9.68 \:  {metre \: per \: second}^{2} }

Now, let's find the mass:

\sf{PE  \:  =  mass \times gravity \:  \times  \: distance}

plug the values

⇒\sf{20.8 = m \times 9.8 \times 27.6}

Multiply the numbers

⇒\sf{20.8 = 270.48 \: m}

Swap the sides of the equation

⇒\sf{270.48m = 20.8}

Divide both sides of the equation by 270.48

⇒\sf{ \frac{270.48m}{270.48}  =  \frac{20.8}{270.48} }

Calculate

⇒\sf{0.0769} kg

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!

The diagram shows waves of sound travelling through the air. By which factor is the sound intensity decreased at 3 meters?
SIZIF [17.4K]
The diagram is missing; however, we know that the intensity of a sound wave is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source:
I(r)= \frac{1}{r^2}
where I is the intensity and r is the distance from the source.

We can assume for instance that the initial distance from the source is r=1 m, so that we put 
I= \frac{1}{r^2}= \frac{1}{(1)^2}=1
The intensity at r=3 m will be
I= \frac{1}{r^2}= \frac{1}{(3)^2}= \frac{1}{9}
Therefore, the sound intensity has decreased by a factor 1/9.

Scientific evidence documents the pattern of evolution. The evidence exists in a variety of categories. What are these categorie
Sauron [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Scientific evidence takes note of the pattern of evolution. The evidence exists in a variety of categories, including direct observation of evolutionary change, the fossil record, homology, and biogeography.

Examples of the categories with their respective examples are:

Direct observation of evolutionary change: Development of drug resistant bacteria

Fossil record: Discovery of transitional forms of horses, Discovery of shells of extinct species

Homology: Similarities in mammalian forelimbs, Same genetic code in fireflies and tobacco plants, Vestigial pelvis in right whales

Biogeography: Similarity of endemic island species to nearby mainland species, The high concentration of marsupial species in Australia
