Titin is a spring-shaped elastic protein that attaches to the thick filament and anchors it to the Z-discs of a sarcomere. If ti

Answer:

a. hold the thick filament in place.

Explanation:

Titin is the third most abundant protein in skeletal muscle (after actin and myosin), this protein has a highly elastic potential, and is therefore the protein most responsible for muscle elasticity.

Each titin molecule connects a Z line to the M line of a sarcomere, thus helping to stabilize the position of the thick filament.

So, titin denaturation may result in an inability to hold the thick filament in place.

Calculate the magnitude and the direction of the resultant forces

snow_tiger [21]

answer:

resultant = 127.65 in the positive direction

explanation:

F1 = 50N , F2 = 40N, f3 = 55N , f4 = 60N

Fy = 50 sin 50 = 50 × -0.26 = -13

Fx = 40 cos 0 = 40×1 = 40

fx = 55 cos 25 = 55×0.99 = 54.45

Fy = 60 sin 70 = 60 × 0.77 = 46.2

resultant = -13+40+54.45+46.2 = 127.65 in the positive direction

A student pulls a block over a rough surface with a constant force FP that is at an angle θ above the horizontal, as shown above

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

B.The force of friction between the block and surface will decrease.

Explanation:

The force of friction is given by

$F_s = \mu N$

where $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction and $N$ is the normal force.

When the student pulls on the block with force $F_p$ at an angle $\theta$ , the normal force on the block becomes

$N = Mg- F_psin(\theta)$

and hence the frictional force becomes

$F_s = \mu (Mg- F_psin(\theta))$ .

Now, as we increase $\theta$ , $sin(\theta)$ increases which as a result decreases the normal force $Mg- F_psin(\theta)$ , which also means the frictional force decreases; Hence choice B stands true.

P.S: Choice D is tempting but incorrect since the weight $W=mg$ is independent of the external forces on the block.

Two tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 1.8×106N , one an angle 11degrees west of north an

sp2606 [1]

Answer: 2,9 ×10¹⁰J.

Explanation:

1. The work is a measure of energy and is calculated as the product of the displacement times the parallel force to such displacement.

That means that the only components of the force that contribute to work are those that result parallel to the displacement.

2. Since it is given that the two tugboats "pull the tanker a distance 0.83km toward the north", that is the displacement, and you have to calculate the net force toward the north.

3. Tugboat #1.

a) Force magnitude: F₁ = 1.8×10⁶N

b) Angle: α = 11° West of North

c) North component of the force F₁: Fy₁ = F₁cos(α) = 1.8×10⁶N × cos(11°) = 1.77×10⁶N

4. Tugboat #2:

a) Force magnitude: F₂ = 1.8×10⁶N

b) Angle: = 11° East of North

c) North component of the force F₂: Fy₂ = F₂cos(β) = 1.8×10⁶N × cos(11°) = 1.77×10⁶N =

5. Total net force, Fn:

Fn = Fy₁ + Fy₂ = 1.77×10⁶N + 1.77×10⁶N = 3.54×10⁶N

6. Work, W:

Displacement, d = 0.83 km = 8,300 m

W = Fn×d = 3.54×10⁶N×8,300m = 29,000 ×10⁶J = 2,9 ×10¹⁰J

The answer is rounded to two significant figures because both data, Force and displacement, have two significant figures.
