Answer: C) Sacral nerve stimulation

Explanation: interstitial cystitis can be simply refered to as a non infectious painful bladder condition which may be chronic depending on the severity. Some of the symptoms include pelvic and bladder pain as well as an urge to frequently urinate.

The best treatment that Allison's doctor is likely to recommend to her is the sacral nerve stimulation. Reducing the urgency to urinate which is associated with interstitial cystitis is the main target of this nerve stimulation technique, it involves simulating the sacral nerves which are the primary link between the spinal cord and nerves in the bladder. In this technique, electrical impulses are sent to the bladder by a thin wire which will be placed near the sacral nerves, this will help to reduce some of the symptoms.

A hollow sphere of inner radius 8.82 cm and outer radius 9.91 cm floats half-submerged in a liquid of density 948.00 kg/m^3. (a)

kari74 [83]

Answer:

a) 0.568 kg

b) 474 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given:

Inner radius = 8.82 cm = 0.0882 m

Outer radius = 9.91 cm = 0.0991 m

Density of the liquid = 948.00 Kg/m³

a) The volume of the sphere = $\frac{4\pi}{3}\times(0.0991^2-0.0882^2)$

volume of sphere = 0.0012 m³

also, volume of half sphere = $\frac{\textup{Total volume}}{\textup{2}}$

volume of half sphere = $\frac{\textup{0.0012}}{\textup{2}}$

Volume of half sphere =0.0006 m³

Now, from the Archimedes principle

Mass of the sphere = Weight of the volume of object submerged

Mass of the sphere = 0.0006× 948.00 = 0.568 kg

b) Now, density = $\frac{\textup{Mass}}{\textup{Volume}}$

Density = $\frac{\textup{0.568}}{\textup{0.0012}}$

Density = 474 kg/m³

What is the frequency of a wave that has a period of vibration of 2 seconds?

34kurt

Answer:

The answer is 0.5 Hz

Explanation:

Its pretty easy to get the answer. One hertz (Hz) is equal to one cycle or period per second. So, just divide the period by the number of seconds.

1 period/2 secs = 1/2 Hz or 0.5 Hz

You are performing a knee extension exercise. You hold a 20kg weight at full knee extension. The weight is 0.4m from your knee j

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The moment is -78.4 N-m (clockwise).

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the object (m) = 20 kg

Distance of the object from the knee joint (d) = 0.4 m

Weight of leg is not considered.

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Now, weight of the object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration due to gravity. So,

Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity

= $mg=20\times 9.8 =196\ N$

We know that, moment of a force about a point is defined as the product of force applied and the perpendicular distance between the point and the line of application of force.

Moment of the given weight about the knee joint is given as:

Moment about knee joint = Weight × Distance from knee joint to weight

Moment about knee joint = 196 × 0.4 = 78.4 Nm

Now, from the diagram below, we can observe that, the weight acts vertically down and thus the sense of rotation about the knee joint at point O is clockwise. So, moment is negative.

Therefore, the moment is -78.4 N-m (clockwise).
