Your diagram is a muscle that helps you breathe. do you think this muscle is voluntary or involuntary? Explain.

PIT_PIT [208]

The diaphragm is primarily an involuntary muscle. Although voluntary means can be achieved, such as when you hold your breath while swimming, this is temporary as the diaphragm will eventually work on its own to supply your body with oxygen.

c) What is moment of inertia? How is it defined (write an equation, explaining all the terms)? What is the parallel axis princip

ipn [44]

Answer:

Check Explanation

Explanation:

What is moment of inertia?

Mathematically Moment of Inertia I = Mr²

where m = mass of the body

r = distance of body to the rotattinal axis

This is a quantity expressing a body's tendency to resist angular acceleration, which is the sum of the products of the mass of each particle in the body with the square of its distance from the axis of rotation.

What is the parallel axis principle for moment of inertia?

The theorem of parallel axis states that the moment of inertia of a body about an axis parallel to an axis passing through the centre of mass is equal to the sum of the moment of inertia of body about an axis passing through centre of mass and product of mass and square of the distance between the two axes.

(if the moment of inertia for a body is I for rotation about an axis that passes through its center of mass, what will be the moment of inertia, Ip, for rotation parallel to that axis?

Ip = I + Mα²

Explain the terms you use in the equation

where, α is the distance between two axes (also called the radius of gyration)

I is more moment of inertia about the centre of mass

Ip is the momont of inertia of the rotation parallel to the axis that passes through the centre of mass

M is the mass of the body

A combination of two identical resistors connected in series has an equivalent resistance of 12. ohms. What is the equivalent re

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

R1 + R2 = R = 12 for resistors in series - so R1 = R2 if they are identical

2 R1 = 12 and R1 = R2 = 6 ohms

1 / R = 1 / R1 + 1 / R2 for resistors in parallel

R = R1 * R2 / (R1 + R2) = 6 * 6 / (6 + 6) = 3

The equivalent resistance would be 3 ohms if connected in parallel

Listening to the radio, you can hear two stations at once. Describe this wave interaction

Sedaia [141]

Actually says Pantazis, since their frequencies are so wildly different, brain waves don’t interfere with radio waves. Even if that was the case, brain waves are so weak, they are hardly measurable at all. For comparison, says Pantazis, “the magnetic field of the earth is just strong enough to move the needle of a compass. Signals from the brain are a billionth of that strength.”

If izzy mass is 0.3kg he applide 657.9n force what will be the accelration

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The acceleration of the body, a = 2193 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the body, m = 0.3 kg

The force acting on the body, F = 657.9 N

The force acting on an object is proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the body.

F = m x a

Therefore, the acceleration of the body is

a = F / m

= 657.9 N / 0.3 kg

= 2193 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the body, a = 2193 m/s²
