<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.

What region of the atom determines the volume of the atom

NeX [460]

Hello kiddio!

Most of the mass of atom is in a dense positively charged nucleus. Most of the volume of an atom is in an empty space in which negatively charged electrons move around the nucleus.

How does the viscosity of a liquid affect the definition of a liquid?

yaroslaw [1]

Viscosity is another type of bulk property defined as a liquid's resistance to flow. When the intermolecular forces of attraction are strong within a liquid, there is a larger viscosity. An example of this phenomenon is imagining a race between two liquids down a windshield.

Two blocks A and B have a weight of 11 lb and 5 lb , respectively. They are resting on the incline for which the coefficients of

Alchen [17]

Answer:

$\theta=10.20^{\circ}$

$\Delta l=0.10 ft$

Explanation:

First of all, we analyze the system of blocks before starting to move.

$\Sum F_{x}=P_{A}sin(\theta)+P_{B}sin(\theta)-F_{fA}-F_{fB}=0$

$\Sum F_{x}=11sin(\theta)+5sin(\theta)-0.16N_{A}-0.23N_{B}=0$

$11sin(\theta)+5sin(\theta)-0.16P_{A}cos(\theta)-0.23P_{B}cos(\theta)=0$

$11sin(\theta)+5sin(\theta)-0.16*11cos(\theta)-0.23*5cos(\theta)=0$

$16sin(\theta)-2.91cos(\theta)=0$

$tan(\theta)=0.18$

$\theta=arctan(0.18)$

$\theta=10.20^{\circ}$

Hence, the incline angle θ for which both blocks begin to slide is 10.20°.

Now, if we do a free body diagram of block A we have that after the block moves, the spring force must be taken into account.

$P_{A}sin(\theta)-F_{fA}-F_{spring}=0$

Where:

$F_{spring} = k\Delta l=2.1\Delta l$

$P_{A}sin(\theta)-0.16*11cos(\theta)-2.1\Delta l=0$

$\Delta l=\frac{11sin(\theta)-0.16*11cos(\theta)}{2.1}$

$\Delta l=0.10 ft$

Therefore, the required stretch or compression in the connecting spring is 0.10 ft.

I hope it helps you!

Which of the following is not true about the Law of Conservation of Energy?

SVEN [57.7K]

By definition, the law of conservation of energy states that:

Ei = Ef

Where,

Ei: initial energy

Ef: final energy

Therefore, no matter the type of energy, always the final energy is equal to the final energy.

Energy can be transformed into another type of energy. For example, the potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy.

Also, energy is not created, nor destroyed.

Answer:

The following is not true about the Law of Conservation of Energy:

A. It states that the total energy in the universe keeps increasing.

A decorative plastic film on a copper sphere of 10 mm diameter in an oven at 750C. Upon removal from the oven, the sphere is sub

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

3.26 secs

Explanation:

Diameter of sphere ( D )= 10 mm

T1 = 75°C

P = 1 atm

T∞ = 23°C

T2 = 35°c

Velocity = 10 m/s

Determine how long it will take to cool the sphere to 35°C

Using the properties of copper and air given in the question

Nu = 2 + (Re)^0.8 (Pr)^0.33

hd / k = 2 + ( vd/v )^0.8 (Pr)^0.33

∴ h ≈ 2594.7 W/m^2k

Given that :

(T2 - T∞) / ( T1 - T∞ ) = exp [ ( -hA / pv CP ) t ]

( 35 - 23 ) / ( 75 - 23 ) = exp [ - 2594.7 * 6 * t / 8933 * 387 * 10 * 10^-3 ]

= ln ( 12/52 ) = -1.466337069 = - 0.45032919 * t

∴ t ≈ 3.26 secs ( -1.466337069 / -0.45032919 )
