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 student examines a 20-meter long rectangular stream channel and takes the following measurements: width of stream = 4 meters,
Scrat [10]

Answer:

The discharge of the stream at this location is 40 cubic meters per second.

Explanation:

The discharge is the volume flow rate of the water in the stream. For this purpose we can use the following formula:

Discharge = Volume Flow Rate = (Cross-Sectional Area)(Velocity of Stream)

Volume Flow Rate = (Width of Stream)(Depth of Stream)(Velocity of Stream)

Volume Flow Rate = (4 meters)(2 meters)(5 meters per second)

<u>Volume Flow Rate = 40 cubic meters per second</u>

Therefore, the discharge of the stream at this location is found to be <u>40 cubic meters per second</u>

This result shows that 40 cubic meters volume of water passes or discharges through this point in a time of one second. Hence, this is called the volume flow rate or the discharge of the stream.

Explain the Big Bang and how it started
AlexFokin [52]

The big bang is how astronomers explain the way the universe began. It is the idea that the universe began as just a single point, then expanded and stretched to grow as large as it is right now (and it could still be stretching).

A fire hose held near the ground shoots water at a speed of 6.5 m/s. At what angle(s) should the nozzle point in order that the
valina [46]
The speed of water can be split into vertical and horizontal speed components:
v_x = 6.5 cos \theta \\ v_y = 6.5 sin \theta

Due to the force of gravity, the y component will be parabolic. The x component will be linear:
y(t) = -4.9t^2 + (6.5sin \theta) t \\  \\ x(t) = (6.5 cos \theta) t
To find when the water hits the ground 2.5m away, set y= 0 and x = 2.5
-4.9t^2 + (6.5sin \theta) t=0 \\  \\ t = \frac{6.5}{4.9} sin \theta \\ \\(6.5 cos \theta)(\frac{6.5}{4.9} sin \theta) = 2.5 \\  \\ sin \theta cos \theta = 0.29 \\  \\ sin 2\theta = 0.58 \\  \\ 2\theta = 35.4, 144.6 \\  \\ \theta = 17.7,72.3

The planet in our solar system whose orbit actually brings it inside the orbit of another planet is
Ber [7]

Answer:

Pluto

Explanation:

In our solar system, we have several planet. Pluto is one of the. Pluto is a planet that is highly oval shaped orbit and eccentric that brings it inside the another orbit. It get inside the orbit of Neptune. Sometimes even Neptune get far away from sun in comparison to the dwarf planet Pluto.

It is very strange happening in the world of planet. it occurs in the year of 1979 and 1999. But Pluto never ever crashed into Neptune. It happen because Neptune takes every three lapse that takes around the sun but Pluto makes only two lapse. This happening prevents two bodies from clashes.
