A wedge is a machine that consists of two inclined planes, giving it a thin end and thick end. A wedge is used to cut or split apart objects. wedge, in mechanics, device that tapers to a thin edge, usually made of metal or wood, and used for splitting, lifting, or tightening, as to secure a hammer head onto its handle. Along with the lever, wheel and axle, pulley, and screw, the wedge is considered one of the five simple machines.

Answer:

A wedge is a machine that consists of two inclined planes, giving it a thin end and thick end. A wedge is used to cut or split apart objects. Force is applied to the thick end of the wedge, and the wedge applies force to the object along both of its sloping sides. This force causes the object to split apart

A neurogenic bladder is a urinary problem caused by interference with the normal __________ associated with urination.
Elena L [17]

Answer:

nerve pathways

Explanation:

It is called Neurogenic Bladder (VN) to any alteration of bladder behavior due to a pathology of the central and / or peripheral nervous system. It may consist of the loss of storage and / or urine disposal capabilities. Thus, a lesion in the upper centers causes variation in storage capacity, but if peripheral innervation is affected, loss of emptying capacity occurs. In the case of patients with spinal cord injury (ML) there are changes in both at the same time.

A uniform thin wire is bent into a quarter-circle of radius a = 20.0 cm, and placed in the first quadrant. Determine the coordin
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

r_{cm}=[12.73,12.73]cm

Explanation:

The general equation to calculate the center of mass is:

r_{cm}=1/M*\int\limits {r} \, dm

Any differential of mass can be calculated as:

dm = \lambda*a*d\theta  Where "a" is the radius of the circle and λ is the linear density of the wire.

The linear density is given by:

\lambda=M/L=M/(a*\pi/2)=\frac{2M}{a\pi}

So, the differential of mass is:

dm = \frac{2M}{a\pi}*a*d\theta

dm = \frac{2M}{\pi}*d\theta

Now we proceed to calculate X and Y coordinates of the center of mass separately:

X_{cm}=1/M*\int\limits^{\pi/2}_0 {a*cos\theta*2M/\pi} \, d\theta

Y_{cm}=1/M*\int\limits^{\pi/2}_0 {a*sin\theta*2M/\pi} \, d\theta

Solving both integrals, we get:

X_{cm}=2*a/\pi=12.73cm

Y_{cm}=2*a/\pi=12.73cm

Therefore, the position of the center of mass is:

r_{cm}=[12.73,12.73]cm

Explain how a voltage is produced in the secondary coil of the transformer.
Tema [17]

Answer:

the primary coil current produces a magnetic field, which changes as the current changes. the iron core increases the strength of the magnetic field. the changing magnetic field induces a changing potential difference (voltage) in the secondary coil.
