Studies of gymnasts show that their high rate of injuries to the Achilles tendon is due to tensions in the tendon that typically

reach 12 times body weight. That force is provided by a pair of muscles, each exerting a force at 23 ∘ to the vertical, with their horizontal components opposite.
For a 53-kg gymnast, find the force in each of these muscles.
Express your answers using two significant figures separated by a comma.

The horizontal components, being opposite in direction, will produce a shearing effect on the tendon, leading to injury. Thus, they will be added.
As the angle of 23 is from the vertical, we calculate the horizontal component by using
Weight acting * sin(23)
And multiply it by 2 to get the total shearing force
The weight acting is 12 times their body weight. Thus:
53 * 9.81 * 12 = 6239.2 Newtons
The total force acting on the tendon:
2 * sin(23) * 6239.2
= 4,880
= 4,900 Newtons (2 significant figures)

A physics student looks into a microscope and observes that small particles suspended in water are moving about in an irregular
Dominik [7]

Answer:

d. the actual motion is regular, but the speeds of particles are too large to observe the regular motion

Explanation:

The speeds of the particles are very large and comparatively the average  free path is very small . Therefore time taken in covering the free path ( path between two consecutive collision with medium particles ) is very small . Hence the st line  path covered by particles between two collision is less likely to be visible. Hence motion appears irregular or zig-zag.

Helga [31]

Answer:

Follows are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

For point a:

T= 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}\\\\k = \frac{4 \pi^2 m}{T^2}\\\\= \frac{4 \times (3.14)^2 \times 3}{2^2}\\\\=29.578 \ \frac{N}{m}\\\\

For Point b:

E=\frac{1}{2} m a^2 w^2\\\\

   =\frac{1}{2} \times m \times a^2 \times \frac{4\pi^2}{T^2}\\\\=\frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times (0.15)^2 \times \frac{4\times 3.14^2}{2^2}\\\\=0.332 \ J

For Point C:

V_{max}= a w

        = (0.15) \times \frac{2\pi}{T}\\\\= (0.15) \times \frac{2\times 3.14}{2}\\\\=0.471 \frac{m}{s}

For point D:

X= a \sin (wt+ \phi)\\\\0.91=0.15 \sin(\frac{2\pi}{T} \times t+\phi)\\\\0.91=0.15 \sin(\frac{2\times 3.14}{2} \times 0.5+\phi)\\\\0.60 = \sin(3.14 \times 0.5+\phi)\\\\0.60 = \sin(1.57+\phi)\\\\1.57 +\phi =\sin^{-1} 60^{\circ}\\\\1.57 +\phi = 36.86^{\circ}\\\\=35.29^{\circ}\\\\So, X=15 \sin(3.14t+35.29^{\circ}) \ cm
