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).

A dipole of moment 0.5 e·nm is placed in a uniform electric field with a magnitude of 8 times 104 N/C. What is the magnitude of
Over [174]

Answer:

The net torque is zero

Explanation:

Let's assume that the dipole is compose of two equal but oposite charges e, and it cam be represented by a rod with one end having a charge e and the other end with a charge of -e. Notice that the dipole is parallel to the electric field thus the force felt by both of the charges will be parallel to the electric field. This means that there will be no components of the forces that are perpendicular to the rod which is a requirement for it to have a torque.

When the magnetic flux through a coil of wire changes, what is generated between the ends of the coil? Which equation predicts t
True [87]

Answer:

induced electromotive force (Voltage)    E = - N dΦ / dt

Explanation:

When the magnetic flux this coil induces a current in each turn of the coil, which is why an induced electromotive force (Voltage) appears at the ends of the coil.

This phenomenon is fully explained by Faraday's law

        E = - dΦ / dt

where in the case of a coil with N turns of has

        E = - N dΦ / dt

Rl flux is the product of the normal to the area by the magnetic field, in this case the flux changes so we can assume that the area of ​​the coil is constant

The Sun is an enormous ball of gas. Left to itself, a ball of so many atoms should collapse under its own tremendous gravity. Wh
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Nuclear fusion in the Sun's core causes the release of tremendous amounts of energy that leads to very high temperatures and pressure which is much hotter and higher than the temperature and pressure at the exterior surface of the Sun causing the particles in the inner core region to push outwards towards the Sun's surface

What is the density of a block with a mass of 36 g and a volume of 9 cm3?.
pshichka [43]
Density= how much mass is in a certain volume 
Therefore, you do (mass/volume).
density of the block is
36g/9cm3
or
4g/cm3
Meaning that there is 4 grams of mass in each cm3.
