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 hydrogen atom that has an electron in the n = 2 state absorbs a photon. What wavelength must the photon possess to send the el
Deffense [45]

Answer:

486nm

Explanation:

in order for an electron to transit from one level to another, the wavelength emitted is given by Rydberg Equation which states that

\frac{1}{wavelength}=R.[\frac{1}{n_{f}^{2} } -\frac{1}{n_{i}^{2} }] \\n_{f}=2\\n_{i}=4\\R=Rydberg constant =1.097*10^{7}m^{-1}\\subtitiute \\\frac{1}{wavelength}=1.097*10^{7}[\frac{1}{2^{2} } -\frac{1}{4^{2}}]\\\frac{1}{wavelength}= 1.097*10^{7}*0.1875\\\frac{1}{wavelength}= 2.06*10^{6}\\wavelength=4.86*10{-7}m\\wavelength= 486nm\\

Hence the photon must possess a wavelength of 486nm in order to send the electron to the n=4 state

At height h above the surface of Earth, the gravitational acceleration is What is h? Note: The radius of Earth is 6380 km.
rusak2 [61]

The acceleration of gravity is inversely proportional to
the square of the distance from Earth's center.

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² on the Earth's surface ...
6380 km from the center.

If the acceleration of gravity at 'h' is 4.9 m/s² ... 1/2 of what it is
on the surface, then the distance from the center is

                 (6380 x √2) =  9,023 km  (rounded) ,

and 'h' is the distance above the surface

                     = (9,023 - 6,380) =  2,643 km  (rounded) .
