What is the main function of the spongy bone'

storchak [24]

Oooooo there's a spongy bone? that's cool! Lol okay okay, I will research it and help you out.

Here's what I found:

Cancellous bone, also known as spongy or trabecular bone, is one of the two types of bone tissue found in the human body. ... It is very porous and contains red bonemarrow, where blood cells are made.

A projectile is fired vertically upwards and reaches a height of 78.4 m. Find the velocity of projection and the time it takes t

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

1.) U = 39.2 m/s

2.) t = 4s

Explanation: Given that the

height H = 78.4m

The projectile is fired vertically upwards under the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

Let's assume that the maximum height = 78.4m. And at maximum height, final velocity V = 0

Velocity of projections can be achieved by using the formula

V^2 = U^2 - 2gH

g will be negative as the object is moving against the gravity

0 = U^2 - 2 × 9.8 × 78.4

U^2 = 1536.64

U = sqrt( 1536.64 )

U = 39.2 m/s

The time it takes to reach its highest point can be calculated by using the formula;

V = U - gt

Where V = 0

Substitute U and t into the formula

0 = 39.2 - 9.8 × t

9.8t = 39.2

t = 39.2/9.8

t = 4 seconds.

An injured monkey sits perched on a tree branch 9 m above the ground, while a wildlife veterinarian is kneeling down in the bush

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The hunter should aim directly at the perched monkey because the tranquilizer dart will fall away from the line sight at the same rate that the monkey falls from its perch.

Tan theta = 9 / 90 = .1 so theta = 5.71 deg

The time for the monkey to reach the ground is

t = (2 h / g)^1/2 = (18 / 9.8)^1/2 = 1.36 sec

So the horizontal speed of the dart must be at least

Vx = 90 m / 1.36 sec = 66.4 m/s

Vx = V cos theta

V = 66.4 m/s / cos 5.71 = 66.7 m/s

The Earth and Moon are separated by about 4.0 10^6 m. Suppose Mars is [{MathJax fullWidth='false' 2.9 \times 10^{11} }] m from E

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

a) α=7.9x10^-4 rad

b) θ=1.12x10^-4 rad

c) The Earth and the Moon cannot be seen without a telescope.

Explanation:

In this exercise we will use the concepts of angular resolution, which depends on both the wavelength of the rays and the diameter of the eye or lens on the meter. Its unit of measure is the radian. The attached image shows the solution step by step.
