An arthroscope can be inserted into a knee joint through a very tiny incision to help a doctor examine the knee. A light is tran

Answer:

Total Internal Reflection

Explanation:

An arthroscope is an optical fiber which is used to examine knee by doctor. Light is transmitted through this scope using the phenomenon of Total internal reflection of light. When light is incident upon an interface of denser to rarer medium at a certain angle (which is greater than the critical angle), it undergoes total internal reflection within it. In this way, light is transmitted through thin optical fibers and can be used for various purposes.

Sample Response: The technology being described is fiber optics. Since they are small and flexible, they enable doctors to see areas that they might otherwise be unable to see without surgery.

A superman cyclist rode a bike uphill at 20 miles/hour for two hours. To sustain this constant speed the cyclist was exerting 50
NeX [460]

Answer:

1.056 x 10⁷ lb-ft

Explanation:

v = Speed of the bike = 20 mph

t = time of travel = 2 h

d = distance traveled by cyclist

Distance traveled by cyclist is given as

d = v t

d = (20) (2)

d = 40 miles

We know that, 1 mile = 5280 ft

d = 40 (5280) ft

d = 211200 ft

F = force applied by cyclist = 50 lb

W = work done by cyclist

Work done by cyclist is given as

W = F d

W = (50) (211200)

W = 1.056 x 10⁷ lb-ft

If a metal wire is 4m long and a force of 5000n causes it to stretch by 1mm, what is the strain?
barxatty [35]

Answer:

2.5\cdot 10^{-4}

Explanation:

The strain is defined as the ratio of change of dimension of an object under a force:

S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}

where

\Delta L is the change in length of the object

L_0 is the original length of the object

In this problem, we have L_0 = 4 m and \Delta L=1 mm=0.001 m, therefore the strain is

S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}=\frac{0.001 m}{4 m}=2.5\cdot 10^{-4}

Finally, you are ready to answer the main question. Cheetahs, the fastest of the great cats, can reach 50.0 miles/hourmiles/hour
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The acceleration of the cheetahs is 10.1 m/s²

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of velocity of an object moving along a straight line with constant acceleration is the following:

v = v0 + a · t

Where:

v = velocity of the object at time t.

v0 = initial velocity.

a = acceleration.

t = time

We know that at t = 2.22 s, v = 50.0 mi/h. The initial velocity, v0, is zero.

Let's convert mi/h into m/s:

50.0 mi/h · (1609.3 m / 1 mi) · (1 h / 3600 s) = 22.4 m/s

Then, using the equation:

v = v0 + a · t

22.4 m/s = 0 m/s + a · 2.22 s

Solving for a:

22.4 m/s / 2.22 s = a

a = 10.1 m/s²

The acceleration of the cheetahs is 10.1 m/s²

How long will it take a 2190 W motor to lift a 1.47 x 104 g box, 6.34 x 104 mm vertically.​
Rasek [7]

Answer:

t = 4.17 [s]

Explanation:

We know that work is defined as the product of force by distance.

W = F*d

where:

F = force [N] (units of Newtons)

d = distance = 6.34 x 10⁴ [mm] = 63.4 [m]

In order to find the force, we must determine the weight of the box, the weight can be determined by means of the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

w = m*g

where:

m = mass = 1.47 x 10⁴ [g] = 14.7 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

w = 14.7*9.81

w = 144.2 [N]

Therefore the work can be calculated.

W = w*d

W = 144.2*63.4

W = 9142.72 [J] (units of Joules)

Power is now defined in physics as the relationship of work at a given time

P = W/t

where:

P = power = 2190 [W]

t = time [s]

Now clearing t, we have.

t = W/P

t = 9142.72/2190

t = 4.17 [s]
