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 3kW oven supplied with 9mJ of energy.How many minutes can it run for?
andreev551 [17]

<span>Hello!
 
We have the following data:
</span>
Time (T) = ? (in minutes)
Power (P) = 3 kW → 3000 W
Energy (E) = 9 MJ → 9000000 J or (W/s)

Formula of the consumption of electric energy:

P =  \frac{E}{T}

Solving:

P = \frac{E}{T}

P = \frac{E}{T} \to T =  \frac{E}{P}

T =  \frac{9000\diagup\!\!\!\!0\diagup\!\!\!\!0\diagup\!\!\!\!0\:\diagup\!\!\!\!W/s}{3\diagup\!\!\!\!0\diagup\!\!\!\!0\diagup\!\!\!\!0\:\diagup\!\!\!\!W}

\boxed{T = 3000\:seconds}

How many minutes can it run for? (<span>Let's convert in minutes)
</span>
1 minute --------- 60 seconds
y minute --------- 3000 seconds

\frac{1}{y} = \frac{60}{3000}

<span>Product of extremes equals product of means
</span>
60*y = 1*3000

60y = 3000

y =  \frac{3000}{60}

\boxed{\boxed{y = 50\:minutes}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark


I hope this helps! =)

A wave is propagating from left to right in a medium. The particles in the medium are also vibrating from left to right. What ki
Anna71 [15]
Based on the direction of propagation compared to direction of vibration, waves are classified into:
1- Transverse waves: The direction of propagation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of vibration of the medium particles.
2- Longitudinal waves: The direction of propagation of the wave is the same as the direction of vibration of the medium particles.

For the question we have here, since the direction of the wave is the same as the direction of vibration of particles, therefore, this wave is a longitudinal wave

A CCD has a greatest possible pixel value of 4095. what is the bit level of this CCD?
Shtirlitz [24]
<span>Bit level for a CCD (Charged coupled device) with a greatest possible pixel value of 4095:The relationship between the bit level and pixel value is given as:pixel value = 2^bit level.Most charged coupled devices (CCDs) have 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit levels.Using simple mathematics, we can see that 2^12 = 4096.Since the maximum number of pixels is 4095, the bit level is 12., i.e. the CCD has 12-bit level.</span>

You have a light spring which obeys Hooke's law. This spring stretches 2.92 cm vertically when a 2.70 kg object is suspended fro
ehidna [41]

(a) 907.5 N/m

The force applied to the spring is equal to the weight of the object suspended on it, so:

F=mg=(2.70 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=26.5 N

The spring obeys Hook's law:

F=k\Delta x

where k is the spring constant and \Delta x is the stretching of the spring. Since we know \Delta x=2.92 cm=0.0292 m, we can re-arrange the equation to find the spring constant:

k=\frac{F}{\Delta x}=\frac{26.5 N}{0.0292 m}=907.5 N/m

(b) 1.45 cm

In this second case, the force applied to the spring will be different, since the weight of the new object is different:

F=mg=(1.35 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=13.2 N

So, by applying Hook's law again, we can find the new stretching of the spring (using the value of the spring constant that we found in the previous part):

\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}=\frac{13.2 N}{907.5 N/m}=0.0145 m=1.45 cm

(c) 3.5 J

The amount of work that must be done to stretch the string by a distance \Delta x is equal to the elastic potential energy stored by the spring, given by:

W=U=\frac{1}{2}k\Delta x^2

Substituting k=907.5 N/m and \Delta x=8.80 cm=0.088 m, we find the amount of work that must be done:

W=\frac{1}{2}(907.5 N/m)(0.088 m)^2=3.5 J

Help asap please!! An aluminum block of mass 12.00 kg is heated from 20 C to 118 C. If the specific heat of aluminum is 913 J-1
professor190 [17]
Q = mCΔT, where Q = Amount of energy required, m = mass of the blcok, C = specific heat, ΔT = change in temperature.

Using the given values;

Q = 12*913*(118-20) = 1073688 J = 1073.688 kJ.

The correct answer in B.
