Muscles function only by contracting. This makes it necessary for one end of the muscle to be fixed and the other mobile.
Take the bicep for example.
Its origin is at the shoulder and its two heads connect to the bones of the forearm, the radius and ulna.
Now, had the muscle not been fixed at one end, and contracted, it would pull both our shoulder and forearm together resulting in an ineffective movement. The desired motion is to lift the forearm (proximal and distal movement) which can only be achieved if the bicep is fixed at the shoulder and allowed to move at the forearm.
Answer:
7.74m/s
Explanation:
Mass = 35.9g = 0.0359kg
A = 39.5cm = 0.395m
K = 18.4N/m
At equilibrium position, there's total conservation of energy.
Total energy = kinetic energy + potential energy
Total Energy = K.E + P.E
½KA² = ½mv² + ½kx²
½KA² = ½(mv² + kx²)
KA² = mv² + kx²
Collect like terms
KA² - Kx² = mv²
K(A² - x²) = mv²
V² = k/m (A² - x²)
V = √(K/m (A² - x²) )
note x = ½A
V = √(k/m (A² - (½A)²)
V = √(k/m (A² - A²/4))
Resolve the fraction between A.
V = √(¾. K/m. A² )
V = √(¾ * (18.4/0.0359)*(0.395)²)
V = √(0.75 * 512.53 * 0.156)
V = √(59.966)
V = 7.74m/s
The moon's orbital and rotational periods are identical or the same, I<span>ts rate of spin is done in unison with its rate of revolution (the time that is needed to complete one orbit). Thus, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.</span>
The formula for both is v(t) = v0 + a*t
b) v(8) = 0 + 6m/s^2 *8s = 48 m/s
now we know the beginning (2) and end speed (14), but not the time:
c) 14 = 2 + 1.5*t => t = (14-2)/1.5 = 8 seconds
