mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The force generated by a single muscle fiber can be increased by increasing the frequency of action potentials

Explanation:

The force generated by a muscle fiber is the result of the shortening of the skeletal muscle, and this force is also know as muscle tension. The larger motor units shorten along with the smaller units to produce the muscle force. The time lapsed between the beginning of the action potential in the muscle and the beginning of the contraction is the latent period. Action potential is the result of the difference electrical potential as a result of passage of an impulse along the membrane of a muscle or nerve cell.

Electrons are emitted from a surface when light of wavelength 500 nm is shone on the surface but electrons are not emitted for l

liberstina [14]

Explanation:

Given: $\lambda = 500\:\text{nm} = 5×10^{-7}\:\text{m}$

$\nu = \dfrac{c}{\lambda} = \dfrac{3×10^8\:\text{m/s}}{5×10^{-7}\:\text{m}}$

$\:\:\:\:\:= 6×10^{14}\:\text{Hz}$

The work function $\phi$ is then

$\phi = h\nu = (6.626×10^{-34}\:\text{J-s})(6×10^{14}\:\text{Hz})$

$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= 3.98×10^{-19}\:\text{J}$

At noon, ship A is 140 km west of ship B. Ship A is sailing east at 30 km/h and ship B is sailing north at 25 km/h. How fast (in

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The rate of change of distance between the two ships is 18.63 km/h

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the two ships, d = 140 km

speed of ship A = 30 km/h

speed of ship B = 25 km/h

between noon (12 pm) to 4 pm = 4 hours

The displacement of ship A at 4pm = 140 km - (30 km/h x 4h) =

140 km - 120 km = 20 km

(the subtraction is because A is moving away from the initial position and the distance between the two ships is decreasing)

The displacement of ship B at 4pm = 25 km/h x 4h = 100 km

Using Pythagoras theorem, the resultant displacement of the two ships at 4pm is calculated as;

r² = a² + b²

r² = 20² + 100²

r = √10,400

r = 101.98 km

The rate of change of this distance is calculated as;

r² = a² + b²

r = 101.98 km, a = 20 km, b = 100 km

$2r(\frac{dr}{dt} ) = 2a(\frac{da}{dt} ) + 2b(\frac{db}{dt} )\\\\r(\frac{dr}{dt} ) = a(\frac{da}{dt} ) + b(\frac{db}{dt} )\\\\101.98(\frac{dr}{dt} ) = 20(-30 ) + 100(25 )\\\\101.98(\frac{dr}{dt} ) = -600 + 2,500\\\\101.98(\frac{dr}{dt} ) = 1900\\\\\frac{dr}{dt} = \frac{1900}{101.98} = 18.63 \ km/h$
