The answers are as follows:
64. SKELETAL MUSCLES
Body location: it is usually attached to the bone or to the skin.
Microscopic anatomy: it is made up of very long, cylindrical multinucleated cells which are striated.
Regulation of contraction: the nervous system controls the voluntary contraction of the skeletal muscles.
Speed of contraction: the speed of contraction ranges from slow to fast.
Rhythmicity: the skeletal muscle is arrhythmic.
SMOOTH MUSCLES
Body location: found in the wall of hollow visceral organs [not including those of the heart].
Microscopic anatomy: made up of single fusiform, uninucleated cells that are without striation.
Regulation of contraction: smooth muscles undergo involuntary contractions which are controlled by the nervous system and hormones.
Speed of contraction: very slow. it is the slowest of the three muscles.
Rhythmicity: rhythmic.
CARDIAC MUSCLES
Body location: located in the wall of the heart.
Microscopic anatomy: it is composed of branching chains of cells, that are uninucleated; they are striated and posses intercalated discs.
Regulation of contraction: Undergo involuntary contractions, which are controlled by nervous system, heart pacemarker and hormones.
Speed of contraction: slow.
Rhythmicity: rhythmic.

65. Aging brings about gradual loss in muscle functions. As one grows older, there are usually age related alterations in the skeletal muscle functions. The factors that affect the rate of muscle loss are sex and level of muscle activity. Loss of muscle mass also occurs as one grows older.

66. The sliding filament theory states that, during contraction the thin filaments slide past the thick filaments and the sacomere shortens.
During contraction, the myosin head attaches to the myosin binding site on the actin filament. Using energy from ATP, the myosin head move toward the center of the sacomere, attaching and detaching several times. As a result of this, the thin actin filament is pulled toward the center of the sacomere. This leads to the shorten of the muscle cells.

A system dissipates 12 J of heat into the surroundings; meanwhile, 28 J of work is done on the system. What is the change of the
timurjin [86]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

energy dissipated by the system to the surrounding = 12 J

Work done on the system = 28 J

change in internal energy of the system

Δ U = Q - W

system losses energy = - 12 J

work done = -28 J

Δ U = Q - W

Δ U = -12 -(-28)

Δ U = 16 J

hence, the correct answer is option C

4vir4ik [10]

The speed is 0.956 m / s.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The kinetic energy is equal to the product of half of an object's mass, and the square of the velocity.

                   K.E = 1/2 \times m \times v^{2}

where K.E represents the kinetic energy,

           m represents the mass,

            v represents the velocity.

                  K.E = 1/2 \times m \times v^{2}

    1.10 \times 10^42 = 1/2 \times 3.26 \times 10^31 \times v^{2}

                     v^{2} = (1.10 \times 10^42 \times 2) / (3.26 \times 10^31)

                     v = 0.956 m / s.

Can someone help with my physics homework? please
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

a) 19536 joules of work are done.

b) The work is done by the engine on the structure of the cart.

c) There are three options:  (i) Keeping the engine and changing the travelled distance, (ii) Changing the engine and keeping the travelled distance, (iii) Changing the engine and the travelled distance.

d) 24442 joules of work are done.

e) We may change for a bigger engine if it allows a greater acceleration and higher peak speed.

f) The bigger engine uses more gas to go 22 meters.

g) An empty semi truck uses more gas than a car since the first has much more mass than a car and is designed for moves big loads and for being fast.

Explanation:

a) If force applied in the cart is uniform, that is, constant in magnitude and direction and is parallel to distance travelled by the car, the work done on the cart is defined by the following equation:

W = F\cdot \Delta s (1)

Where:

F - Force applied by the cart, measured in newtons.

\Delta s - Distance travelled by the car, measured in meters.

W - Work done on the cart, measured in joules.

If we know that F = 888\,N and \Delta s = 22\,m, then the work done on the cart is:

W =(888\,N)\cdot (22\,m)

W = 19536\,J

19536 joules of work are done.

b) The work is done by the engine on the structure of the cart.

c) There are three options:  (i) Keeping the engine and changing the travelled distance, (ii) Changing the engine and keeping the travelled distance, (iii) Changing the engine and the travelled distance.

d) If we know that F = 1111\,N and \Delta s = 22\,m , then the work on the cart is:

W = (1111\,N)\cdot (22\,m)

W = 24442\,N

24442 joules of work are done.

e) We may change for a bigger engine if it allows a greater acceleration and higher peak speed.

f) The gas consumption is directly proportional to the square of velocity and mass of the cart and, hence, to the work done on the cart. In consequence, we conclude that the bigger engine uses more gas to go 22 meters.

g) An empty semi truck uses more gas than a car since the first has much more mass than a car and is designed for moves big loads and for being fast.

A box of mass 3kg is lifted 1.5m onto a shelf. Calculate the change in its gravitational potential energy. The gravitational fie
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The change in gravitational potential energy is 45 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 3 kg

Distance = 1.5 m

Gravitational field strength = 10 N/kg

We need to calculate the change in gravitational potential energy

Using formula of  gravitational potential energy

Change\ in\ gravitational\ potential\ energy =gravitational\ field\ strength\times mass\times distance

Put the value into the formula

Change\ in\ gravitational\ potential\ energy =10\times3\times1.5

Change\ in\ gravitational\ potential\ energy =45\ J

Hence, The change in gravitational potential energy is 45 J.

A 0.0500-kg golf ball heads off from the tee with an initial speed of 78.2 m/s and reaches to its maximum height of 37.8 m. If a
Marianna [84]

(a) 134.4 J

The total mechanical energy of the ball at the moment of launch is just equal to its initial kinetic energy:

E=K_i = \frac{1}{2}mu^2

where

m = 0.05 kg is the mass of the ball

u = 78.2 m/s is the initial speed

Substituting,

E=\frac{1}{2}(0.05)(78.2)^2=152.9 J

At the pinnacle of its trajectory, the total mechanical energy is sum of kinetic energy and potential energy:

E=K_f + U_f = K_f + mgh

where

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h = 37.8 m is the maximum height

Since the total energy must be conserved,

E = 152.9 J

Therefore, we can solve to find the kinetic energy of the ball at the pinnacle:

K_f = E-mgh=152.9-(0.05)(9.8)(37.8)=134.4 J

b) 74.2 m/s

When the ball is 5.60 m below the pinnacle point, the heigth of the ball is

h=37.8-5.6=32.2 m

So its potential energy is

U=mgh=(0.05)(9.8)(32.2)=15.8 J

The total energy is again the sum of potential and kinetic energy:

E = K + U

So the kinetic energy at that point is

K=E-U=152.9-15.8=137.1 J

And since the kinetic energy is

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

We can find the speed:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(137.1)}{0.05}}=74.2 m/s
