What simple machine makes up most of the joints in your body

Physics

Levers
Most machines in your body are levers that consist of bones and muscles. Tendons and muscles pull on bones, making them act as levers. Joint, near where tendon is attached to bone acts as fulcrum. Muscles produce input force.

Answer:

T = 188.5 s, correct is  C

Explanation:

This problem must be worked on using conservation of angular momentum. We define the system as formed by the fan and the paper, as the system is isolated, the moment is conserved

         

initial instant. Before the crash

        L₀ = r m v₀ + I₀ w₀

the angular speed of the fan is zero w₀ = 0

final instant. After the crash

        L_f = I₀ w + m r v

        L₀ = L_f

        m r v₀ = I₀ w + m r v

angular and linear velocity are related

        v = r w

        w = v / r

        m r v₀ = I₀ v / r + m r v

         m r v₀ = (I₀ / r + mr) v

       v = \frac{m}{\frac{I_o}{r}  +mr} \ r v_o

let's calculate

       v = \frac{0.020}{\frac{1.4}{0.6  } + 0.020 \ 0.6  } \ 0.6 \ 4

       v = \frac{0.020}{2.345} \ 2.4

       v = 0.02 m / s

         

To calculate the time of a complete revolution we can use the kinematics relations of uniform motion

        v = x / T

         T = x / v

the distance of a circle with radius r = 0.6 m

         x = 2π r

we substitute

         T = 2π r / v

let's calculate

         T = 2π 0.6/0.02

         T = 188.5 s

reduce

         t = 188.5 s ( 1 min/60 s) = 3.13 min

correct is  C

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

option (b) 4900 N

Explanation:

m = 2000 kg, R = 6380 km = 6380 x 10^3 m, Me = 5.98 x 10^24 kg, h = R

F = G Me x m / (R + h)^2

F = G Me x m / 2R^2

F = 6.67 x 10^-11 x 5.98 x 10^24 x 2000 / (2 x 6380 x 10^3)^2

F = 4900 N

What could you do to change the volume of a gas?
Lorico [155]
The ONLY way to change the volume of a sample of gas is to transfer it to a container with different volume.
Simply changing its temperature or pressure in the same jar won't do it. Any amount of gas always fills whatever container you keep it in.

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation: In DC circuit, the current will flow for a short time, which is required to charge the capacitor. Once you switch it on, it spikes and the gradually decreases to almost zero (0) as the capacitor becomes fully charged.

In an AC circuit, the circuit acts as if the current is flowing throw the plates whereas is not actually flowing. The circuit acts like the AC is flowing through the capacitor.
