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

1 answer:

3 0

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.

A 4.4 kg mess kit sliding on a frictionless surface explodes into two 2.2 kg parts, one moving at 2.9 m/s, due north, and the ot

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Original speed of the mess kit = 4.43 m/s at 50.67° north of east.

Explanation:

Let north represent positive y axis and east represent positive x axis.

Here momentum is conserved.

Let the initial velocity be v.

Initial momentum = 4.4 x v = 4.4v

Velocity of 2.2 kg moving at 2.9 m/s, due north = 2.9 j m/s

Velocity of 2.2 kg moving at 6.8 m/s, 35° north of east = 6.9 ( cos 35i + sin35 j ) = 5.62 i + 3.96 j m/s

Final momentum = 2.2 x 2.9 j + 2.2 x (5.62 i + 3.96 j) = 12.364 i + 15.092 j kgm/s

We have

Initial momentum = Final momentum

4.4v = 12.364 i + 15.092 j

v =2.81 i + 3.43 j

Magnitude

$v=\sqrt{2.81^2+3.43^2}=4.43m/s$

Direction

$\theta =tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{3.43}{2.81}\right )=50.67^0$

50.67° north of east.

Original speed of the mess kit = 4.43 m/s at 50.67° north of east.

What are the comparisons and contrast of adaptation and natural selection? ASAP!!!!!!

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Natural selection is a mechanism, or cause, of evolution.

Explanation:

Adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that make an organism better suited to its environment. Heritable variation comes from random mutations.

The first car has twice the mass of a second car, but only half as much kinetic energy. When both cars increase their speed by 9

kirill [66]

Answer:

Speed of the car 1 = $V_1=8.98m/s$

Speed of the car 2 = $V_2=17.96m/s$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the car 1 , M₁ = Twice the mass of car 2(M₂)

mathematically,

M₁ = 2M₂

Kinetic Energy of the car 1 = Half the kinetic energy of the car 2

KE₁ = 0.5 KE₂

Now, the kinetic energy for a body is given as

$KE =\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where,

m = mass of the body

v = velocity of the body

thus,

$\frac{1}{2}M_1V_1^2=0.5\times \frac{1}{2}M_2V_2^2$

$\frac{1}{2}2M_2V_1^2=0.5\times \frac{1}{2}M_2V_2^2$

$2M_2V_1^2=0.5\times M_2V_2^2$

$2V_1^2=0.5\times V_2^2$

$4V_1^2= V_2^2$

$2V_1= V_2$ .................(1)

also,

$\frac{1}{2}M_1(V_1+9.0)^2=\frac{1}{2}M_2(V_2+9.0)^2$

$\frac{1}{2}2M_2(V_1+9.0)^2=\frac{1}{2}M_2(2V_1+9.0)^2$

$2(V_1+9.0)^2=(2V_1+9.0)^2$

$\sqrt{2}(V_1+9.0)=(2V_1+9.0)$

$(\sqrt{2}V_1+ \sqrt{2}\times 9.0)=(2V_1+9.0)$

$(\sqrt{2}V_1+ 12.72)=(2V_1+9.0)$

$(2V_1-\sqrt{2}V_1)=(12.72-9.0)$

$(0.404V_1)=(3.72)$

$V_1=8.98m/s$

and, from equation (1)

$V_2=2\times 8.98m/s = 17.96m/s$

Hence,

Speed of car 1 = $V_1=8.98m/s$

Speed of car 2 = $V_2=17.96m/s$

A 100-meter sprint is a race using only the straight side of a racetrack. A 400-meter sprint is a race that makes one complete l

Shalnov [3]

Speed uses distance and velocity uses displacement in its calculation.

For 100 m race, distance = displacement. Hence speed = velocity

For 400m race, distance ≠ displacement. distance = 400m whereas displacement = 0m. Hence speed ≠ velocity
