why does stimulation of nerves with electrical current help stave off muscle atrophy for a short period of time?

1 answer:

7 0

<span>The electrical impulses act to contract the muscles. This is similar to how the muscles are contracted during exercise. This helps slow down the wasting away of muscles due to the lack of physical activity and help preserve the muscle for a short time.</span>

What is the total energy q released in a single fusion reaction event for the equation given in the problem introduction? use c2

kkurt [141]

Answer:

$4.3\cdot 10^{-12} J$

Explanation:

The fusion reaction in this problem is

$4^1_1H \rightarrow ^4_2He +2e^+$

The total energy released in the fusion reaction is given by

$\Delta E = c^2 \Delta m$

where

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light

$\Delta m$ is the mass defect, which is the mass difference between the mass of the reactants and the mass of the products

For this fusion reaction we have:

$m(^1_1H)=1.007825u$ is the mass of one nucleus of hydrogen

$m(^4_2 He)=4.002603u$ is the mass of one nucleus of helium

So the mass defect is:

$\Delta m =4m(^1_1 H)-m(^4_2 He)=4(1.007825u)-4.002603u=0.028697u$

The conversion factor between atomic mass units and kilograms is

$1u=1.66054\cdot 10^{-27}kg$

So the mass defect is

$\Delta m =(0.028697)(1.66054\cdot 10^{-27})=4.765\cdot 10^{-29}kg$

And so, the energy released is:

$\Delta E=(3.0\cdot 10^8)^2(4.765\cdot 10^{-29})=4.3\cdot 10^{-12} J$

Assume that the energy lost was entirely due to friction and that the total length of the PVC pipe is 1 meter. Use this length t

gladu [14]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Assume that the energy lost was entirely due to friction and that the total length of the PVC pipe is 1 meter. Use this length to compute the average force of friction (for this calculation, you may neglect uncertainties).

Mass of the ball : 16.3 g

Predicted range : 0.3503 m

Actual range : 1.09 m

Solution :

Given that :

The predicted range is 0.3503 m

Time of the fall is :

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}$
