The conductive tissues of the upper leg can be modeled as a 40-cm-long, 12-cm-diameter cylinder of muscle and fat. The resistivi

ties of muscle and fat are 13 Ω m and 25 Ω m, respectively. One person’s upper leg is 82% muscle, 18% fat. What current is measured if a 1.5 V potential difference is applied between the person’s hip and knee?

To calculate and solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to resistance and resistivity.

The equation that is responsible for relating the two variables is:

R = \rho \frac{L}{A}

Where,

R= Resistance of the conductor

\rho =Resistivity of the conductor material

L = Length

A = Cross-sectional area of conductor

With the previous values the area of the muscle (Real Muscle-82%)is,

A_m = (0.82)\pi r^2 = (0.82)\pi (12/2*10^{-2})^2

A_m = 9.274*10^{-3}m^2

Using the equation from Resistance we have that at the muscle the value is:

R_m = \rho \frac{L}{A}

R_m = \frac{13*(0.4)}{9.274*10^{-3}}

R_m = 560.70\Omega

At the same time we can make the same process to calculate the resistance of the fat, then

A_m = (0.18)\pi r^2 = (0.18)\pi (12/2*10^{-2})^2

A_m = 2.0357*10^{-3}m^2

The resistance of the fat would be,

R_f = \rho \frac{L}{A}

R_f = \frac{25*(0.4)}{2.0357*10^{-3}}

R_f = 4912.3\Omega

Then the total resistance in a set as the previously writen, i.e, in parallel is:

R=\frac{R_mR_f}{R_m+R_f}

R = \frac{(560.70)(4912.3)}{4912.3+560.70}

R = 502.62\Omega

We can here apply Ohm's law, then

I= \frac{V}{R}

I = \frac{1.5}{502.62}

I = 2.984*10^{-3}A

I = 2.984mA

What is the frequency of a radio wave with an energy of 3.686 × 10−24 j/photon?answer in units of hz?
Makovka662 [10]

To solve this problem, we have to use the formula:

E = h f

where E is total energy, h is Plancks constant 6.626x10^-34 J s, f is frequency

 

f = E / h

f = 3.686 × 10−24 J / (6.626x10^-34 J s)

<span>f = 5.56 x 10^9 Hz</span>

Mady has an infinite number of balls and empty boxes available to her. The empty boxes, each capable of holding four balls, are
True [87]

Answer:

The number of balls in the box at 2010th step is 6 balls

Explanation:

Since the boxes are arranged from left to right, and since the empty boxes are capable of holding 4 balls at once.

Therefore, her steps would follow this pattern ;

00001 - 1st Step

0002 - 2nd Step

0003 - 3rd Step

0004 -4th Step

0010 - 5th Step

0011 - 6th Step

0021 - 7th step

0031 - 8th step

0041 - 9th step

Looking at this pattern, it is obvious this digits are in base 5 because once we count to 4 in a unit, we move to the next at 1.

Thus,at Mady's 2010th step, we'll convert to base 5,thus 2010 in base 5 is calculated as;

2010 ÷ 5 = 402 r 0, so Base 5 is now: _ _ _ _ 0.

402 ÷ 5 = 80 r 2, so Base 5 is now: _ _ _ 2 0.

80 ÷ 5 = 16 r 0, so Base 5 is now:

_ _ 0 2 0.

16 ÷ 5 = 3 r 1, so Base 5 is now: _ 1 0 2 0.

3 ÷ 5 = 0 r 3, so Base 5 is now: 3 1 0 2 0.

So 2010 in base 10 is 31020 in base 5. Thus,the number of balls in the box at 2010th step is equal to 3 + 1 + 0 + 2 + 0 = 6balls

A meter stick balances at the 50.0-cm mark. If a mass of 50.0 g is placed at the 90.0-cm mark, the stick balances at the 61.3-cm
Airida [17]

Answer:

126.99115 g

Explanation:

50 g at 90 cm

Stick balances at 61.3 cm

x = Distance of the third 0.6 kg mass

Meter stick hanging at 50 cm

Torque about the support point is given by (torque is conserved)

mgl_1=Mgl_2\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{ml_1}{l_2}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{50\times (61.3-90)}{50-61.3}\\\Rightarrow M=126.99115\ g

The mass of the meter stick is 126.99115 g

A private aviation helicopter's main rotor blades rotate at approximately
Arisa [49]

Answer: 7.5 rev/s

Explanation:

We are given the angular velocity \omega a helicopter's main rotor blades:

\omega=450 rpm=450 \frac{rev}{min}

However, we are asked to express this \omega in the International Systrm (SI) units. In this sense, the SI unit for time is second (s):

\omega=450 \frac{rev}{min} \frac{1 min}{60 s}

\omega=7.5 \frac{rev}{s}

Compute the torque about the origin of the gravitational force F--mgj acting on a particle of mass m located at 7-xî+ yj and sho
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force, F = - mg j

r = - 7x i + y j

Torque is defined as the product f force and the perpendicular distance.

It is also defined as the cross product of force vector and the displacement vector.

\overrightarrow{\tau }=\overrightarrow{r}\times \overrightarrow{F}

\overrightarrow{\tau }=(- 7 x i + yj)\times (-mgj)

[tex]\overrightarrow{\tau  }= 7 m g x k

Here, we observe that the torque is independent of y coordinate.
