<span>The bone is made up of calcium. Calcium along with collagen helps to make the bones very strong, like concrete. Bones have a very high tensile strength, that is why we can put the pressure of our body weight on them without the bones being broken immediately. The structure of the bone also helps since the shaft is made up of compact bone which is very good at resisting tension. To help with the compressional strength of the bones, the extremities are made of cancellous material which is very good at fighting compression. All in all, the material and engineering of the bone allow it to be rigid, yet flexible, making them hard to break and good at their function of support and protection.</span>

Alternating Current In Europe, the voltage of the alternating current coming through an electrical outlet can be modeled by the
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

\frac{50}{\pi }Hz

Explanation:

In alternating current (AC) circuits, voltage (V) oscillates in a sine wave pattern and has a general equation as a function of time (t) as follows;

V(t) = V sin (ωt + Ф)            -----------------(i)

Where;

V = amplitude value of the voltage

ω = angular frequency = 2 π f        [f = cyclic frequency or simply, frequency]

Ф = phase difference between voltage and current.

<u><em>Now,</em></u>

From the question,

V(t) = 230 sin (100t)              ---------------(ii)

<em><u>By comparing equations (i) and (ii) the following holds;</u></em>

V = 230

ω = 100

Ф = 0

<em><u>But;</u></em>

ω = 2 π f = 100

2 π f = 100             [divide both sides by 2]

π f = 50

f = \frac{50}{\pi }Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the voltage is \frac{50}{\pi }Hz

You have a motion security light by your door cat runs across the in the light turns on what is the input of the system and what
Neporo4naja [7]
A motion security line is a system that is used to detect motion.
The input for the system is MOTION and the output is LIGHT. That is, when the system detects motion it switch on light.
Remember, an Input is the information that was inserted into a system while the output is the result of the processed information.

From Kepler's third law, an asteroid with an orbital period of 8 years lies at an average distance from the Sun equal to:
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The correct option is (B).

Explanation:

The Kepler's third law of motion gives the relationship between the orbital time period and the distance from the semi major axis such that,

T^2\propto a^3\\\\T^2=ka^3

It is mentioned that, an asteroid with an orbital period of 8 years. So,

(8)^2=ka^3\\\\64=ka^3\\\\a=(64)^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\\a=4\ AU

So, an asteroid with an orbital period of 8 years lies at an average distance from the Sun equal to 4 astronomical units.

A horizontal 649 N merry-go-round of radius 1.05 m is started from rest by a constant horizontal force of 61.3 N applied tangent
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the merry-go-round is 632.82 J

Explanation:

Given;

weight of the merry-go-round, W = 649 N

radius of the merry-go-round, r = 1.05 m

applied horizontal force, F =  61.3 N

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

mass of  merry-go-round, m = W/g

                                               = 649/9.8  = 66.225 kg

moment of inertia of merry-go-round, I = ¹/₂mr²

                                                                 = ¹/₂ x 66.225 x (1.05)²

                                                                 = 36.507 kg.m²

Angular acceleration of the merry-go-round, α

τ = Iα = Fr

α = Fr / I

Where;

α is angular acceleration

α = (61.3 x 1.05) / 36.507

α = 1.763 rad/s²

Angular velocity of the merry-go-round, ω

ω = αt

ω = 1.763 x 3.34

ω = 5.888 rad/s

Finally, the kinetic energy of the merry-go-round, K.E

K.E = ¹/₂Iω²

K.E = ¹/₂ x 36.507 x (5.888)²

K.E = 632.82 J
