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

Describe the forces involved in Throwing a spear
Alexeev081 [22]

Explanation:

The center of gravity is near the grip and does not change during throw. "Throwing through the tip," a popular term of how to throw a javelin, means throwing through the grip or center of gravity. The center of pressure is the aerodynamic force of drag and lift on the javelin.

A man fires a silver bullet of mass 2g with a velocity of200m/sec into wall. What is the temperature changeof the bullet? Note:
Sphinxa [80]

F=nmv

where;

n=no. of bullets = 1

m=mass of bullets=2g *10^-3

V=velocity of bullets200m/sec

F=1

loss in Kinetic energy=gain in heat energy

1/2MV^2=MS∆t

let M council M

=1/2V^2=S∆t

M=2g

K.E=MV^2/2

=(2*10^-3)(200)^2/2

2 councils 2

2*10^-3*4*10/2

K.E=40Js

H=mv∆t

(40/4.2)

40Js=40/4.2=mc∆t

40/4.2=2*0.03*∆t

=158.73°C

Identical isolated conducting spheres 1 and 2 have equal charges and are separated by a distance that is large compared with the
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

F = 0.1575 N

Explanation:

When the third sphere touches the first sphere, the charge is distributed between both spheres, then now the first sphere has only half of his original charge.

In this moment then

Sphere one has a charge = Q/2

Sphere three has a charge = Q/2

Now when the third sphere touches the second sphere again the charge is distributed in a manner that both sphere has the same charge.

How the total charge is Q = Q/2 + Q = 3/2Q, when the spheres are separated each one has 3/4Q

Sphere two has a charge = 3/4Q

Sphere three has a charge = 3/4Q

The electrostatic force that acts on sphere 2 due to sphere 1 is:

F = \frac{kQ_{1}Q_{2} }{r^{2} }

F= \frac{K(Q/2)(3Q/4)}{r^{2} }

how \frac{KQ^{2} }{r^{2} } = 0.42

Then

F = \frac{0.42*3}{8}

F = 0.1575 N

Write a sentence to describe how an image is formed on retina<br>when looking at distant objects.​
beks73 [17]

Answer:

An image is formed on the retina with light rays converging most at the cornea and upon entering and exiting the lens. Rays from the top and bottom of the object are traced and produce an inverted real image on the retina. The distance to the object is drawn smaller than scale
