Why is it important for a muscle to be attached to a fixed origin at one end and a moving insertion at the other? Discuss how th

Muscles function only by contracting. This makes it necessary for one end of the muscle to be fixed and the other mobile.
Take the bicep for example.
Its origin is at the shoulder and its two heads connect to the bones of the forearm, the radius and ulna.
Now, had the muscle not been fixed at one end, and contracted, it would pull both our shoulder and forearm together resulting in an ineffective movement. The desired motion is to lift the forearm (proximal and distal movement) which can only be achieved if the bicep is fixed at the shoulder and allowed to move at the forearm.

A harmonic wave on a string with a mass per unit length of 0.050 kg/m and a tension of 60 N has an amplitude of 5.0 cm. Each sec
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Power of the string wave will be equal to 5.464 watt

Explanation:

We have given mass per unit length is 0.050 kg/m

Tension in the string T = 60 N

Amplitude of the wave A = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Frequency f = 8 Hz

So angular frequency \omega =2\pi f=2\times 3.14\times 8=50.24rad/sec

Velocity of the string wave is equal to v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}=\sqrt{\frac{60}{0.050}}=34.641m/sec

Power of wave propagation is equal to P=\frac{1}{2}\mu \omega ^2vA^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.050\times 50.24^2\times 34.641\times 0.05^2=5.464watt

So power of the wave will be equal to 5.464 watt

dedylja [7]

There are several possibilities.  Here are a few that occur to me:

--  If Point-A is the summit of Pike's Peak, he may feel somewhat
short of breath.

-- If Point-A is his grandmother's house, he may feel a great sense
of pleasant anticipation.

-- If Point-A is his office on Monday morning, then he may feel
a tightening sensation in his chest.;

-- If Point-A is his home on Friday afternoon, then he feels the
effects of a slow and steady drop in his blood pressure.

I finer point might be put to it if we had any idea of where
Point-A is, and what it represents in the grand scheme
of things.

A mass m attached to a horizontal massless spring with spring constant k, is set into simple harmonic motion. its maximum displa
Lesechka [4]
At the point of maximum displacement (a), the elastic potential energy of the spring is maximum:
U_i= \frac{1}{2} ka^2
while the kinetic energy is zero, because at the maximum displacement the mass is stationary, so its velocity is zero:
K_i =0
And the total energy of the system is
E_i = U_i+K= \frac{1}{2}ka^2

Viceversa, when the mass reaches the equilibrium position, the elastic potential energy is zero because the displacement x is zero:
U_f = 0
while the mass is moving at speed v, and therefore the kinetic energy is
K_f =  \frac{1}{2} mv^2
And the total energy is
E_f = U_f + K_f =  \frac{1}{2} mv^2

For the law of conservation of energy, the total energy must be conserved, therefore E_i = E_f. So we  can write
\frac{1}{2} ka^2 =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2
that we can solve to find an expression for v:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{ka^2}{m} }

Small cubes that are 10 cm on a side and larger ones that are 12 cm on a side are submerged in water. Cubes A and B are made of
Digiron [165]

Answer

given,

given,

small cube side = 10 cm

larger cube side = 12 cm

density of steel = 7 g/cm³

density of aluminium = 2.7 g/cm³

density of the water (ρ₁)= 1 g/cm³

Cube A and B made of steel

buoyant force of Cube A

 B₁ = ρ₁ V g = 1 x 10 x 10 x 10 x g=  1000 g

for cube B

 B₂ = ρ₁ V g = 1 x 12 x 12 x 12 x g=  1728 g

buoyant force of Cube C

 B₃ = ρ₁ V g = 1 x 10 x 10 x 10 x g=  1000 g

for cube D

 B₄ = ρ₁ V g = 1 x 12 x 12 x 12 x g=  1728 g

buoyant force acting on the cube depends on the density of the fluid

hence,

B₂ = B₄  > B₁ = B₃
