Hold your hand out with your elbow at your side and your forearm parallel to the ground. You should notice your bicep muscle fle

xing in order to keep your forearm in equilibrium in this position, working against the force of gravity. To maintain this equilibrium, how does the force that your bicep exerts on the forearm compare with the force of gravity acting on the forearm?

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall consider the balance of forearm . The weight is balanced by tension created in the bicep of forearm.

The weight of forearm will act downward . Let it be W. Tension T  of bicep will pull the forearm upwards . Bicep muscle is attached at a point between palm and elbow. Its other end is attached with hind arm . If we hold the forearm parallel to ground , weight acts vertically downwards and tension in bicep makes some angle with the vertical . Let it be θ.

Vertical component of tension T

= T cos θ . It will balance W .

T cos θ = W

T = W / cos θ

the value of cos θ will always be less than 1.

so T > W . or

tension in bicep is more than weight of forearm.

A helium atom (mass 4.0 u) moving at 598 m/s to the right collides with an oxygen molecule (mass 32 u) moving in the same direct
labwork [276]

Answer:

Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of helium ,m₁ = 4 u

u₁=598 m/s

Mass of oxygen ,m₂ = 32 u

u₂  = 401 m/s

v₂ =445 m/s

Given that initially both are moving in the same direction and lets take they are moving in the right direction.

Speed of the helium after collision = v₁

There is no any external force on the masses that is why the linear momentum will be conserve.

Initial linear momentum = Final linear momentum

P = m v

m₁u₁+m₂u₂ = m₁v₁+m₂v₂

598 x 4 + 32 x 401 = 4 x v₁+ 32 x 445

v₁ = 246 m/s

Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s

In 1911, Ernest Rutherford and his assistants Geiger and Marsden conducted an experiment in which they scattered alpha particles
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply conservation of mechanical energy

kinetic energy of alpha particle is converted into electric potential energy.

1/2 mv² = k q₁q₂/d , d is closest distance

d = 2kq₁q₂ / mv²

= 2 x 9 x 10⁹ x 79e x 2e / 4mv²

= 1422 x2x (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹)² x 10⁹ /4x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x (1.5 x 10⁷)²

= 3640.32 x 10⁻²⁹ /2x 3.7575 x 10⁻¹³

= 484.4 x 10⁻¹⁶

=48.4  x 10⁻¹⁵ m

Which of the following statements apply to electric charges?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The statement "If a positively charged rod is brought close to a positively charged object, the two objects will repel " applies to electric charges.

Explanation:

There are only two types of electric charges. Both having own magnitude but different charge.

1. Positive charge

2. Negative charge

Like charges repel each other and opposite charges always attract each other.

When a positively charged rod is brought close to a positively charged object, the rod and the object will repel.
