The ________ on the axis (c2) forms a pivot point with the atlas (c1) that allows you to nod a "no."

1 answer:

3 0

The dens or the odontoid process of the axis or the second cervical spine forms a pivot point with the atlas or the first cervical vertebrae that is responsible for the nodding and the rotational movements of the head. This is reinforced by ligaments and the atlanto-occipital joint that allows the head to make a nodding or up and down movement on the vertebral column.

A woman stands on a bathroom scale in a motionless elevator. When the elevator begins to move, the scale briefly reads only 0.90

kiruha [24]

Answer:

1 m/s² down

Explanation:

"Calculate the acceleration of the elevator, and find the direction of acceleration."

Sum of forces in the +y direction:

∑F = ma

N − mg = ma

0.9 mg − mg = ma

-0.1 mg = ma

a = -0.1 g

a = -1 m/s²

A 1460-kg submarine rises straight up towards the surface. Seawater exerts both an upward buoyant force of 16670 N on the submar

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

a = 0.63 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

mass of submarine = 1460-kg

upward buoyant force = 16670 N

downward resistive force = 1150 N

submarine acceleration = ?

assuming g = 10 m/s²

now,

B - (R + mg) = ma

16670 - 1150 - 1460 × 10 = 1460 × a

1460× a = 920

a = 0.63 m/s²

hence, the acceleration of submarine is equal to a = 0.63 m/s²

A stuntwoman is going to attempt a jump across a canyon that is 77 m wide. The ramp on the far side of the canyon is 25 m lower

liq [111]

initial speed of the stuntman is given as

$v = 28 m/s$

angle of inclination is given as

$\theta = 15 degree$

now the components of the velocity is given as

$v_x = 28 cos15 = 27.04 m/s$

$v_y = 28 sin15 = 7.25 m/s$

here it is given that the ramp on the far side of the canyon is 25 m lower than the ramp from which she will leave.

So the displacement in vertical direction is given as

$\delta y = -25 m$

$\delta y = v_y * t + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

$-25 = 7.25 * t - \frac{1}{2}*9.8* t^2$

by solving above equation we have

$t = 3.12 s$

Now in the above interval of time the horizontal distance moved by it is given by

$d_x = v_x * t$

$d_x = 27.04 * 3.12 = 84.4 m$

since the canyon width is 77 m which is less than the horizontal distance covered by the stuntman so here we can say that stuntman will cross the canyon.
