<h3>Answer;</h3>

B. When actin filaments are pulled toward the center of the sarcomere, the fiber shortens.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

The events of muscle fiber shortening occurs with in the sacromeres in the fibers.
Contraction of striated muscle fibers takes place as the sacromeres shorten as myosin heads pull on the actin filaments.
Filament movement starts at the region or zone where thin and thick filaments overlap.
Myofibril contains many sacromeres along its length and thuse myofibrils and muscle cells contract as the sacromeres contract.

Two charges, one of 2.50μC and the other of -3.50μC, are placed on the x-axis, one at the origin and the other at x = 0.600 m

aev [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

charge of first body $q_1=2.5\ mu C$

charge of second body $q_2=-3.5\ mu C$

Particle 1 is at origin and particle 2 is at $x=0.6\ m$

third Particle which charge +q must be placed left of $2.5\mu C$ because it will repel the q charge while $-3.5\mu C$ will attract it

suppose it is placed at a distance of x m

$F_{1q}=\frac{kq(2.5)}{x^2}$

$F_{2q}=\frac{kq(-3.5)}{(0.6+x)^2}$

$F_{1q}+F_{2q}=0$

$\frac{kq(2.5)}{x^2}+\frac{kq(-3.5)}{(0.6+x)^2}=0$

$\frac{kq(2.5)}{x^2}=\frac{kq(3.5)}{(0.6+x)^2}$

$\frac{0.6+x}{x}=(\frac{3.5}{2.5})^{0.5}$

$0.6+x=1.1832x$

$x=3.27\ m$

Ignacio and Velvet walk eastward with a speed of 8 m/s. If it takes them 7.5 minutes to walk to the store, how far in meters hav

ryzh [129]

Answer:

They walk 3,600 meters

Explanation:

7.5 minutes = 450 seconds.

Because they are walking at 8 meters per 1 second, multiply 8 by 450.

= 3600m

Suzie skydiver, who weighs 500 n, reaches terminal velocity of 90 km/h. the air resistance on suzie is then

masha68 [24]

Weight of the skydiver m = 500 N
Terminal velocity V = 90 km/h
Here the weight of the person acts as the force, so based on the Newton's third law the applied is the force what we but in the opposite direction making the resistance. So the air resistance exerted on Suzie will be her weight that is 500N

A 91.5 kg football player running east at 2.73 m/s tackles a 63.5 kg player running east at 3.09 m/s. what is their velocity aft

vivado [14]

Their velocity afterwards is 2.88 m/s east

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, for an isolated system (= no external force), the total momentum must be conserved before and after the collision. So we can write:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1 + m_2)v$
