Hand grip test an example of an isometric muscle contraction.

Isometric(increased pressure but no shortening)

Explanation:

  • Isometric contraction, is one in which the muscle is activated, but instead of being allowed to lengthen or shorten, it is held at a constant length.
  • An isometric exercise is a form of exercise involving the static contraction of a muscle without any visible movement in the angle of the joint.
  • Isometric exercises are contractions of a particular muscle or group of muscles. During isometric exercises, the muscle doesn't noticeably change length and the affected joint doesn't move. Isometric exercises help maintain strength. They can also build strength, but not effectively.
  • Isometric exercise is also known as static strength training. (Examples include the plank and side bridge as well as the wall sit and many yoga poses such as chair and tree poses).

How many significant figures should be written in the sum 4.65g +9.032g+580.0078+540.439g?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: 1.13 X 10^3 g or 1130 g

Explanation: When you add up everything, you will get 1134.1288 g = 1.11341218 X 10^3. But while adding significant figures, we always look for the least significant figures (here 4.65 has least sig. figures  i.e. 3) and take that as a reference to how many significant figures we should have in the answer. (Pretty hard to explain!) Hope you got it!!

Imagine a simple pendulum swinging in an elevator. If the cable holding the elevator up was to snap, allowing the elevator to go
Lady_Fox [76]

One of the components that affect the period is gravity (the other is length). This gravity is basically the value of the effective acceleration that acts on the body due to gravity. When the elevator is over free fall, the effective gravity becomes zero. Mathematically this can be visualized as,

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{\dot{g_{eff}}}}

Since this value is zero, the period would tend to be infinite,

T \rightarrow \infty

Therefore the frequency that is inversely proportional to the period would be defined as

f = \frac{1}{T}

f = \frac{1}{\infty}

f \approx 0

In this way there is no frequency on the body which will not generate any oscillation on the body
