Answer:

upper motor neurons in the premotor cortex

Explanation:

Motor neurons are a type of nervous system cells that are located in the brain and in the spinal cord. They have the function of producing the stimuli that cause the contraction of the different muscle groups of the organism. They are therefore essential for daily activities that require muscle contraction: walking, talking, moving hands and in general all body movements.

QUESTION 10

Elena L [17]

The maximum value of θ of such the ropes (with a maximum tension of 5,479 N) will be able to support the beam without snapping is:

$\theta =37.01^{\circ}$

We can apply the first Newton's law in x and y-direction.

If we do a free body diagram of the system we will have:

x-direction

All the forces acting in this direction are:

$T_{1}sin(\theta)-T_{2}sin(\theta)=0$ (1)

Where:

T(1) is the tension due to the rope 1
T(2) is the tension due to the rope 2

Here we just conclude that T(1) = T(2)

y-direction

The forces in this direction are:

$T_{1}cos(\theta)+T_{2}cos(\theta)-W=0$ (2)

Here W is the weight of the steel beam.

We equal it to zero because we need to find the maximum angle at which the ropes will be able to support the beam without snapping.

Knowing that T(1) = T(2) and W = mg, we have:

$T_{1}cos(\theta)+T_{1}cos(\theta)-m_{steel}g=0$

$2T_{1}cos(\theta)-m_{steel}g=0$

$2T_{1}cos(\theta)=m_{steel}g$

T(1) must be equal to 5479 N, so we have:

$cos(\theta)=\frac{m_{steel}g}{2T_{1}}$

$cos(\theta)=\frac{892*9.81}{2*5479}$

$cos(\theta)=0.80$

Therefore, the maximum angle allowed is θ = 37.01°.

A cosmic-ray proton in interstellar space has an energy of 10.0 MeV and executes a circular orbit having a radius equal to that

kherson [118]

Answer:

= 7.88 × 10^-12 T

Explanation:

From the above question, we are told that:

Kinetic Energy of the proton is K. E = 10.0 MeV

Step 1

We convert 10.0 MeV to Joules

1 Mev = 1.602 × 10-13 Joules

10.0 MeV = 10.0 × 1.602 × 10^-13 Joules = 1.602 × 10^-12 J

Hence, the Kinectic energy of a proton = 1.602 × 10^-12 J

Step 2

Find the Speed of the Proton

The formula for Kinectic Energy =

K.E = 1/ 2 mv²

Where

m = mass of the proton

v = speed of the proton

K.E of the proton = 1.602 × 10^-12 J

Mass of the proton = 1.6726219 × 10^-27 kilograms

Speed of the proton = ?

1.602 × 10^-12J = 1/2 × 1.6726219 × 10^-27 × v²

1.602 × 10^-12J = 8.3631095 ×10^-28 × v²

v² = 1.602 × 10^-12/8.3631095 ×10^-28

v = √(1.602 × 10^-12/8.3631095 ×10^-28)

v = 43772331.227m/s

v = 4.3772331227 × 10^7m/s

Approximately = 4.4 × 10^7 m/s

Step 3

Find the Magnetic Field of that region of space

The formula for Magnetic Field =

B = m v / q r

We are told that the proton executes a circular orbit, hence,

mv = √2m(KE)

m = Mass of the proton = 1.6726219 × 10^-27 kg

K.E of the proton = 1.602 × 10^-12 J

v = speed of the proton = 4.4 × 10^7 m/s

q = Electric charge = 1.6 × 10^-19 C

r = radius of the orbit = 5.80Ã10^10 m

= 5.8 × 10^10m

Magnetic Field =

=√ (2 × 1.6726219 × 10^-27 kg × 1.602 × 10^-12 J) /( 1.6 × 10^-19 C × 5.80 × 10^10 m)

= 7.88 × 10^-12 T

The magnetic field in that region of space is approximately 7.88 × 10^-12 T

g We saw in class that in a pendulum the string does no work. We also saw that the normal force does no work on an object slidin

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

From question (a) and (b) the pendulum motion is perpendicular to the force so the normal force will do no work and the tension in the string of the pendulum will not work

$i.e Normal \ Force(N) = mg cos \theta$

And $\theta = 90$ so

$N = 0$

An example will be a where a stone is attached to the end of a string and is made to move in a circular motion while keeping the other end of the string in a fixed position

A dog walking along a surface which has friction, here the frictional force would acting in the direction of the motion and this would do positive work

If you fall and skid to a stop on a carpeted floor, you can get a rug burn. Much of this discomfort comes from abrasion,but ther

just olya [345]

Explanation:

When you run, your body has a kinetic energy and when you fall while running, the friction between the carpet and your foot, transforms the kinetic energy into thermal energy or heat energy. This can even cause, real burn if the skin were too hot.
