Tendons are strong elastic fibers that attach muscles to bones. To a reasonable approximation, they obey Hooke's law. In laborat

ory tests on a particular tendon, it was found that, when a 251 g object was hung from it, the tendon stretched 1.23 cm .Find the force constant of this tendon.

Answer:

k = 200 N/m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the object  = 251 g

                                = 251 x 10⁻³ Kg = 0.251 Kg

distance of tendon stretch = x = 1.23 cm

                                            = 1.23 x 10⁻² = 0.0123 m

using the formula

F = k  x

where

k is the force constant of the tendon

F = m g

F = 0.251 x 9.8 = 2.4598 N

2.4598 = k x 0.0123

k = 199.98 N/m

k = 200 N/m

hence, force constant of the tendon is approximately equal to 200 N/m

25. The best description of scissor is:
ioda

Answer:

c.

Explanation:

From the options provided the best description of scissor is that scissors helps to scrap things down. This is the main purpose of scissors, to cut things, and by doing so you are breaking up a larger object into smaller and more manageable scraps. We can get rid of the other options because scissors are made of metal and therefore not soft and are not necessarily dull since they need to be sharp to fulfill their purpose. Although a pair of scissors has two holes it is not necessarily the best description of it.

Four charges of magnitude +q are placed at the corners of a square whose sides have a length d. What is the magnitude of the tot
guapka [62]

Answer:

F = \frac{4kqQb}{(b^2 + \frac{d^2}{2})^{1.5}}

Explanation:

Since all the four charges are equidistant from the position of Q

so here we can assume this charge distribution to be uniform same as that of a ring

so here electric field due to ring on its axis is given as

E = \frac{k(4q)x}{(x^2 + R^2)^{1.5}}

here we have

x = b

and the radius of equivalent ring is given as the distance of each corner to the center of square

R = \frac{d}{\sqrt2}

now we have

E = \frac{4kq b}{(b^2 + \frac{d^2}{2})^{1.5}}

so the force on the charge is given as

F = QE

F = \frac{4kqQb}{(b^2 + \frac{d^2}{2})^{1.5}}

A wave with 2.0 m amplitude has a frequency of 500 Hz is travelling at a speed of 200 m/s. What is the wavelength?
Serggg [28]

Answer: 0.4m

Explanation:

Given that:

Amplitude of wave = 2.0 m

Wavelength (λ)= ?

Frequency F = 500Hz

Speed V = 200 m/s

The wavelength is measured in metres, and represented by the symbol λ.

So, apply the formula:

Wavespeed V= Frequency F xwavelength λ

200m/s = 500Hz x λ

λ = 200m/s / 500Hz

λ = 0.4m

Thus, the wavelength is 0.4 metres

Prove that the weight of an object on moon is 1/6th of that on earth​
Elena L [17]

Answer:

The mass of moon is 1/100 times and its radius 1/4 times that of earth. As a result, the gravitational attraction on the moon is about one sixth when compared to earth. Hence, the weight of an object on the moon is 1/6th its weight on the earth.
