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

is promotes movement, using one of the muscles you observed as an example.

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.

8. What is the frequency of green light waves that have a wavelength of 5.2 x 10-7 m.? The speed of light is 3.0 x 108 m/s
o-na [289]

Answer:

f=5.76\times 10^{14}\ Hz

Explanation:

We need to find the frequency of green light having wavelength o5.2\times 10^{-7}\ m. It can be calculated as follows :

c=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{5.2\times 10^{-7}}\\\\f=5.76\times 10^{14}\ Hz

So, the required frequency of green light is equal to 5.76\times 10^{14}\ Hz.

hjlf

Answer:

Sam is providing the biggest power i.e. 50 W

Explanation:

Sam is moving house and is carrying a 300N box of books up a flight of steps 5m high, it takes her 30 seconds.

Sam's power :

P_1=\dfrac{W_1}{t_1}\\\\P_1=\dfrac{F_1d}{t_1}\\\\P_1=\dfrac{300\times 5}{30}\\\\P_1=50\ W

Gary follows her carrying a bag of clothes doing 1000 J of work; it only takes him 25 seconds.

Gary's power :

P_2=\dfrac{W_2}{t_2}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{1000}{25}\\\\P_2=40\ W

So, it is clear that Sam is providing the biggest power.

A long cylindrical insulating shell has an inner radius of a = 1.41 m and an outer radius of b = 1.67 m. The shell has a constan
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

a. E = 122.4 N/C

b. E = 58.2 N/C

c. E = 0

Explanation:

The electric field at an arbitrary point away from the axis of the cylinder can found by applying Gauss’ Law, which states that an electric flux through a closed surface is equal to the total charge enclosed by this surface divided by electric permittivity.

In order to apply this law, we have to draw an imaginary cylindrical surface of arbitrary height ‘h’ and radius ‘r’, which is equal to the point where the E-field is asked.

A. For the outside of the cylinder, we will draw our imaginary surface with r = 1.97.

E2\pi rh = \frac{\lambda V}{\epsilon_0} = \frac{\lambda \pi (b^2 - a^2)h}{\epsilon_0}\\E2\pi (1.97)h = \frac{(5.3\times 10^{-9})\pi(1.67^2 - 1.41^2)h}{\epsilon_0}\\E = 122.4~N/C

B. This time our imaginary surface should be inside the cylinder, therefore the enclosed charge will be less than that of part A.

E2\pi rh = \frac{\lambda V_{enc}}{\epsilon_0} = \frac{\lambda \pi (r^2 - a^2}h{\epsilon_0}\\E2\pi (1.51)h = \frac{5.3\times 10^{-9})\pi(1.51^2 - 1.41^2)h}{\epsilon_0}\\E = 58.2~N/C

C. In this case our imaginary surface will be inside the cylinder, where there is no charge at all. Therefore, the enclosed charge will be zero and the electric field will be zero.
