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

When a light switch is turned on, the light comes on immediately because.
Stolb23 [73]

Hello I hope you are having a great day :)

Your question: When a light switch is turned on, the light comes on immediately because....

The answer is: the electrons in the wire are instantly "pushed" by a voltage difference making the the light switch on.

Hopefully that helps you :)

1. A record with a radius of 0.3m spins in a clockwise circle with a centripetal
Hitman42 [59]

Solve for the linear/tangential speed:

<em>a</em> = <em>v</em>²/<em>r</em>

where <em>a</em> = centripetal acceleration, <em>v</em> = speed, and <em>r</em> = radius.

4.7 m/s² = <em>v</em>²/(0.3 m)

<em>v</em>² = (0.3 m) (4.7 m/s²)

<em>v</em> ≈ 3.96 m/s

For every time the record completes one revolution, a fixed point on the edge of the record travels a distance equal to its circumference, which is 2<em>π</em> (0.3 m) ≈ 1.88 m. So if 1 rev ≈ 1.88 m, then the angular speed of the record is

(3.96 m/s) (1/1.88 rev/m) ≈ 7.46 rev/s

Take the reciprocal of this to get the period:

1 / (7.46 rev/s) ≈ 0.134 s/rev

So it takes the record about 0.134 seconds to complete one revolution.
