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.

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Speed of 1.83 m/s and 6.83 m/s

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of momentum

mv_o=m(v_1 + v_2) where m is the mass, v_o is the initial speed before impact, v_1 and v_2 are velocity of the impacting object after collision and velocity after impact of the originally constant object

5m=m(v_1 +v_2)

Therefore v_1+v_2=5

After collision, kinetic energy doubles hence

2m*(0.5mv_o)=0.5m(v_1^{2}+v_2^{2})

2v_o^{2}=v_1^{2} + v_2^{2}

Substituting 5 m/s for v_o then

2*(5^{2})= v_1^{2} + v_2^{2}

50= v_1^{2} + v_2^{2}

Also, it’s known that v_1+v_2=5 hence v_1=5-v_2

50=(5-v_2)^{2}+ v_2^{2}

50=25+v_2^{2}-10v_2+v_2^{2}

2v_2^{2}-10v_2-25=0

Solving the equation using quadratic formula where a=2, b=-10 and c=-25 then v_2=6.83 m/s

Substituting, v_1=-1.83 m/s

Therefore, the blocks move at a speed of 1.83 m/s and 6.83 m/s

When driving in heavy rain, or on a flooded road, your tires can ride on a thin film of water like skis;
Simora [160]
The answer is letter a. It is best to slow down in situations of heavy rain or flooded road as skid could be the result if you lose out of control because the driver isn't slowing down. That is why it is being said that tires can ride on a thin film of water skis as it could skid if it has lost control if the driver hadn't slowed down.

vovangra [49]
<h2>The hiker will go up to 850 m on the hill</h2>

Explanation:

The total energy gained  by the hiker = 140 x 4186 J

This energy is consumed in the potential energy acquired , while climbing up the hill.

The potential energy P.E = mass of hiker x acceleration due to gravity x height

Thus

140 x 4186 = 69 x 10 x h

or h = \frac{4186x140}{69x10}  = 850 m

If the 20% of the total energy is used

the height h₀ = \frac{0.2x4186x140}{69x10} = 170 m

Submarine a travels horizontally at 11.0 m/s through ocean water. it emits a sonar signal of frequency f 5 5.27 3 103 hz in the
xeze [42]
Velocity of submarine A is vs = 11.0m/s
frequency emitted by submarine A. F = 55.273 × 10∧3HZ
Velocity of submarine B = vO = 3.00m/s
The given equation is
f' = ((V + vO) ((v - vS)) × f
The observer on submarine detects the frequency f'.
The sign of vO should be positive as the observer of submarine B is moving away from the source of submarine A.
The speed of the sound used in seawater is 1533m/s
The frequency which is detected by submarine B is 
fo = fs (V -vO/ v +vs)
= 53.273 × 10∧3hz) ((1533 m/s - 4.5 m/s)/ (1533 m/s +11 m/s)
fo = 5408 HZ
