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).

The state in which a star's gravitational collapse is balanced between gravity pushing inward and gas pressure pushing outward i
Andrew [12]
The relation between temperature and pressure is called the "equation of state of the gas". or "Hydrostatic equilibrium in ordinary star". Take for example a balloon, it will have a larger spherical shape, if the pressure inside exerted by the gas on a wall of a balloon balance the inward force exerted by the outside atmospheric pressure.  In a dying star which is being compressed by gravity, the gas is being squeezed so the molecules is moving rapidly, resulting to a very high temperature, and this provide a balance that counteract or balances the compressive force of gravity. The very high temperature inside the star is needed to balance the force of gravity, and it is provide by "nuclear fusion energy" or else the star would collapse under the force of gravity. Depending on the size or mass of the star, it will either become, a "neutron star" or a "black hole".

A uniform magnetic field passes through a horizontal circular wire loop at an angle 15.1 ° from the normal to the plane of the l
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Magnetic flux through the loop is 1.03 T m²

Explanation:

Given:

Magnetic field, B = 4.35 T

Radius of the circular loop, r = 0.280 m

Angle between circular loop and magnetic field, θ = 15.1⁰

Magnetic flux is determine by the relation:

\Phi = BA\cos \theta   ....(1)

Here A represents area of the circular loop.

Area of circular loop, A = πr²

Hence, the equation (1) becomes:

\Phi=B\pi r^{2} \cos \theta

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

\Phi=4.35\times\pi (0.28)^{2} \cos 15.1

\Phi = 1.03 T m²
