<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 is the speed of the roller coaster at the top of the loop if the radius of curvature there is 11.0 m and the downward accel

8090 [49]

When an object moves in a circle, the acceleration points toward the center of the circle. This acceleration is called centripetal acceleration. We can use a simple equation to find centripetal acceleration. a = v^2 / r We can use this same equation to find the speed of the car. v^2 = a * r v = sqrt { a * r } v = sqrt{ (1.50)(9.80 m/s^2)(11.0 m) } v = 12.7 m/s The speed of the roller coaster is 12.7 m/s

A ball rolls off the end of a horizontal table that is 4 meters off the ground. It is measured that the ball lands 3 meters away

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The speed at which the ball rolled off the end of the table is 3.3 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please, see the attached figure for a graphical description of the problem. Notice that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the edge of the table.

The position vector of the ball can be calculated as follows:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position.

v0y = initial vertical velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

When the ball reaches the ground, its position will be:

r final = (3, -4)

Then:

3 = x0 + v0x · t

-4 = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Since the origin of the frame of reference is located at the edge of the table, x0 and y0 = 0. v0y is also 0 ( see the initial velocity vector in the figure to elucidate why). Then:

3 m = v0x · t

-4 m = 1/2 · g · t²

We can solve for "t" in the equation of the y-component and use it in the equation of the x-component to obtain v0x:

-4 m = 1/2 · g · t²

-4 m = -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

8 m / 9.8 m/s² = t²

t = 0.9 s

Then:

3 m = v0x · 0.9s

3 m/ 0.9 s = v0x

v0x = 3.3 m/s

The speed at which the ball roll off the end of the table is 3.3 m/s

Frank has a paperclip. It has a mass of 12g and a volume of 3cm3. What is its density?

Mkey [24]

Answer:

D = 4 g/cm³

Explanation:

Density = Mass / Volume

Step 1: Define

D = x

M = 12 g

V = 3 cm³

Step 2: Substitute

D = 12g/3 cm³

Step 3: Simplify

D = 4g / cm³

A 5.0-ohm resistor, a 10.0-ohm resistor, and a 15.0-ohm resistor are connected in parallel with a battery. The current through t

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

E = 3456 J

Explanation:

The electrical energy expended in a resistor can be easily calculated by using the following formula:

$E = Pt$

where,

E = Energy Expended = ?

I = current through 5 ohm resistor = 2.4 A

R = Resistance = 5 ohms

P = Electrical Power = VI

Since,

V = IR (Ohm's Law)

Therefore,

P = (IR)(I) = I²R = (2.4 A)²(5 ohms) = 28.8 Watt

t = time taken = (2 min)(60 s/1 min) = 120 s

Therefore,

E = (28.8 Watt)(120 s)

E = 3456 J
