14. The Achilles tendon inserts on the calcaneus (the heel bone) at a distance of 8 cm from the axis of the ankle joint. If the

force generated by the muscles attached to the Achilles tendon is 3000 N, and the moment arm of this force about the ankle joint is 5 cm, what torque is created by these muscles about the ankle joint? Hopefully it’s enough torque to move out of the way so the arrow doesn’t shoot through the tendon.

Answer:

150 Nm

Explanation:

Unit conversion:

5 cm = 0.05 m

8 cm = 0.08 m

The torque generated by such force would be the product of the force by the muscles and the moment arm of that force.

T = FR

Where T is the torque (Nm), F = 3000 N is the force and R = 0.05 m is the moment arm

T = 3000*0.05 = 150 Nm

Answer:

The torque is $T=150Nm$

Explanation:

The diagram showing this muscle is shown on the first uploaded image

From the question we are told that

Distance of insertion is $D_i = 8cm = 0.08m$

Force generated is $F_A = 3000N$

The moment arm of the force about the ankle joint is $D_A = 5cm = 0.05m$

Generally the Torque is mathematically represented as

$T = F * D_A$

$= 3000 *0.05$

$=150Nm$

The law of universal gravitation states that a gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is dir

Ber [7]

Answer: D. it has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.

Explanation:

A <u>Law</u> is an affirmation (something established) based on repeated long-term observation of a phenomenon that has been studied and verified.

That is: A law is present in all known theories and therefore is considered universal. In addition, a law can not be refuted, nor changed, because its precepts have been proven through various studies.

<u>Unlike theory</u>, which is the set of rules and principles that describe and explain a particular phenomenon and <u>is subject to changes as new evidence emerges that gives meaning to it. </u>

Then, based on what is explained above, the law of universal gravitation is a statement that exists because it was rigorously tested and verified, therefore it can not be refuted.

A camcorder has a power rating of 16 watts. If the output voltage from its battery is 7 volts, what current does it use?

GenaCL600 [577]

Power= current*voltage or P=IV

so 16 watts=I*7 volts

divide on both sides to isolate I so you get

I= 16/7 which is about 2.3 amps

Answer:

ratio =0.3075 T

Explanation:

The magnetic field B creates a force on a moving charge such that

$F = qvB$

Now this causes a centripetal acceleration

$F = = mv^2/r$

so

$qvB = mv^2/r$ ...........(i)

$B = mv/(rq)$ ...............(ii)

If accelerating potential V is same and then kinetic energy equals the potential energy difference

$\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = Vq$

$v = \sqrt{(2Vq/m)}$ put these value in equation (ii)

$B = m\frac{\sqrt{(2Vq/m)} }{rq}$

simplifying we get

$B =m \frac{(\sqrt{ 2Vm/q})}{r}$

for same location r will be same in both case

$B_{7} = \frac{ \sqrt{(m_{7})(2V/q) }}{r}$ ..............(iii)

$B_{10} = \frac{ \sqrt{(m_{10})(2V/q) }}{r}$ ..........(iv)

dividing (iv) and (iii) equation we get

$\frac{B_{10}}{B_{7}} = \sqrt{\frac{m_{10}}{{m_7}} }$

${B_{10}} = B_{7} \sqrt{\frac{m_{10}}{{m_7}} }$

$B_{10} = 0.2574T\sqrt{\frac{ (1.663x10^-26}{(1.165x10^-26)}$

so on solving we get

=0.3075 T
