The lubrication of bone joints is a subject of ongoing medical research. Two bones connected at a joint do not touch. The bones

are covered in articular cartilage, and are surrounded by lubricating synovial fluid. Rheumatoid arthritis results in overproduction of synovial fluid, swollen joints, and difficult and painful movement. Other joint disorders degrade the synovial fluid, directly increasing the friction between the bones, resulting in painful motion.
Part A



To measure the effective coefficient of friction in a bone joint, a healthy joint (and its immediate surroundings) can be removed from a fresh cadaver. The joint is inverted, and a weight is used to apply a downward force

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

To measure the effective coefficient of friction in a bone joint, a healthy joint (and its immediate surroundings) can be removed from a fresh cadaver. The joint is inverted, and a weight is used to apply a downward force F⃗ d on the head of the femur into the hip socket. Then, a horizontal force F⃗ h is applied and increased in magnitude until the femur head rotates clockwise in the socket. The joint is mounted in such a way that F⃗ h will cause clockwise rotation, not straight-line motion to the right. The friction force will point in a direction to oppose this rotation.

Draw vectors indicating the normal force n⃗  (magnitude and direction) and the frictional force f⃗ f (direction only) acting on the femur head at point A.

Assume that the weight of the femur is negligible compared to the applied downward force.

Draw the vectors starting at the black dot. The location, orientation and relative length of the vectors will be graded

Solution :

The normal force represented by N is equal to the downward force, $F_d$ which is equal in magnitude but it is opposite in direction.

Also the frictional force acts always to oppose the motion because the bone starts moving in a clockwise direction. The frictional force that will be applied to the right direction so that the movement or the rotation at A is opposed.

Answer:

1.moon

2.Earth is the first planet with a satellite, or moon.

3.Mars, the fourth planet out, has two moons, but they are probably just a couple of big old rocks.

5.The incoming object was destroyed on impact, reduced to vapor, dust, and chunks. Large surviving parts were driven deep into the interior of Earth. A signicant portion of Earth was destroyed as well. The energy that resulted from the crash produced an explosion of unimaginable magnitude.

A force does 30000 J of work along a distance of 9.5m. Find the applied force.
Elina [12.6K]

Answer: F=3158N

Explanation:

Work is the product of force applied and the distance the object moves along the force applied. Work is measured in joules and the equation is as follows

W = F x d

So that F = W/d

F = 30000 J / 9.5m

F = ~3158 N

Tech A says parallel circuits are like links in a chain. Tech B says total current in a parallel circuit equals the sum of the c
rosijanka [135]

Answer: Only Tech B is correct.

Explanation:

First, tech A is wrong.

The circuits that can be compared with links in a chain are the series circuit, and it can be related to the links in a chain because if one of the elements breaks, the current can not flow furthermore (because the elements in the circuit are connected in series) while in a parallel circuit if one of the branches breaks, the current still can flow by other branches.

Also in a parallel circuit, the sum of the currents of each path is equal to the current that comes from the source, so Tech B is correct, the total current is equal to the sum of the currents flowing in each branch of the circuit.
