Which structure reduces friction between joints?

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The cartilage is the structure that reduces friction between joints.

Explanation:

Cartilage is the tissue between the bone joints. They are composed of several membranes and cellular groups. One of them called synovial membrane which provides lubricant to the edges of tissue that are touched by the bones. Reducing the friction and absorbing it so the body can move without obstacles.

A helicopter, starting from rest, accelerates straight up from the roof of a hospital. The lifting force does work in raising th

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

25032.47 W

Explanation:

Power is the time rate of doing work, hence,

P = Work done(non conservative) / time

Work done (non conservative) is given as:

W = total K. E. + total P. E.

Total K. E. = 0.5mv²- 0.5mu²

Where v (final velocity) = 7.0m/s, u (initial velocity) = 0m/s

Total P. E. = mgh(f) - mgh(i)

Where h(f) (final height) = 7.2m, h(i) (initial height) = 0 m

=> W = 0.5mv² - mgh(f)

P = [0.5mv² - mgh(f)] / t

P = [(0.5*790*7²) - (790*9.8*7.2)] / 3

P = (19355 + 55742.4) / 3 = 75097.4/3

P = 25032.47 W

Consider a vortex filament of strength Γ in the shape of a closed circular loop of radius R. Consider also a straight line throu

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

$\vec{V} = \frac{\Gamma}{2R}\vec{A}$

Explanation:

We define our values according to the text,

R= Radius

$\vec{V} =$ Velocity

$\Gamma =$ Strenght of the vortex filament

From this and in a vectorial way we express an elemental lenght of this filmaent as $\vec{dl}$ . So,

$\vec{dl}x\vec{r} = R*dl*\vec{A}$

Where $\vec{A}$ imply a vector acting perpendicular to both vectors.

Applying Biot-Savart law, we have,

$\vec{V} =\frac{\Gamma}{4\pi}\int\frac{\vec{dl}x\vec{r}}{r^3}$

Substituting the preoviusly equation obtained,

$\vec{V} = \frac{\Gamma}{4\pi}\int\frac{R*dl*\vec{A}}{R^3}$

$\vec{V} = \frac{\Gamma}{4\pi R^2}\int^{2\pi R}_0 dl*\vec{A}$

$\vec{V} = \frac{\Gamma(2\pi R \vec{A})}{4\pi R^2}$

So we can express the velocity induced is,

$\vec{V} = \frac{\Gamma}{2R}\vec{A}$

(i) Calculate the energy, in electron volts, of a photon whose frequency is (a) 620 THz}, (b) 3.10GHz , and(c) 46.0 MHz

DedPeter [7]

The energy in electron volts of the photons that has the following frequencies is as follows:

620 THz = 2.564eV
3.10GHz = 1.28 × 10-⁵eV
46.0 MHz = 1.902 × 10-⁷eV

<h3>How to calculate energy?</h3>

The energy of a photon can be calculated using the following formula:

E = hf

Where;

E = energy
h = Planck's constant (6.626 × 10-³⁴ J/s)
f = frequency

First, we convert the frequencies to hertz as follows;

620THz = 6.2 × 10¹⁴Hz
3.10GHz = 3.1 × 10⁹Hz
46.0MHz = 4.6 × 10⁷Hz

E = 6.626 × 10-³⁴ × 6.2 × 10¹⁴ = 2.564eV
E = 6.626 × 10-³⁴ × 3.1 × 10⁹ = 1.28 × 10-⁵eV
E = 6.626 × 10-³⁴ × 4.6 × 10⁷ = 1.902 × 10-⁷eV

A 2kg blob of putty moving at 4 m/s slams into a 6kg blob of putty at rest what is the speed of the to stick together blobs imme

andrew11 [14]

<h2>Answer</h2>

1m/s

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Given that:

<em>Mass of first blob = 2kg = m1</em>

<em>Velocity of blob = 4m/s = v1</em>

<em>Mass of second blob = 6kg = m2</em>

<em>Velocity of blob = 0m/s = v2</em>

<em />

To find:

<em>Final velocity = Vf</em>

<em />

<em>This question is of inelastic collision which is any collision between objects in which some energy is lost.</em>

<em />

<h3>Formula to be use:</h3><h2>(m1*v1) + (m2*V2) = Vf(m1 + m2)</h2>

(2*4) + (6*0) = Vf(2+6)

8 + 0 = Vf(8)

8 = Vf(8)

Vf = 1 m/s

So the speed of two blobs immediately after colliding = 1 m/s
