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.

Find the acceleration of a body whose velocity increases from 11ms-1 to 33ms-1 in 10 seconds
xenn [34]
We know, a = v₂ - v₁ / t
Here, (v₂-v₁) = 33 - 11 = 22 m/s
t = 10 s

Substitute their values, 
a = 22/10
a = 2.2 m/s²

In short, Your Answer would be 2.2 m/s²

Hope this helps!

Kevin is a black high school senior. While walking home from a sporting event at school, he sees a police car and decides to tak
RSB [31]

Answer:

Ethnomethodology theory

Explanation:

Take note of the fact that we are told Kevin worries that the police will stop and question him even though he has not done anything wrong.

This statement shows us that Kevin already understood his society from past experiences, and thus he tries to avoid social interactions with particular member of his society (the police) who may be show discrimination towards him.

Calculate the distance d from the center of the sun at which a particle experiences equal attractions from the earth and the sun
fredd [130]

Answer:

149.34 Giga meter is the distance d from the center of the sun at which a particle experiences equal attractions from the earth and the sun.

Explanation:

Mass of earth = m = 5.976\times 10^{24} kg

Mass of Sun = M = 333,000 m

Distance between Earth and Sun = r = 149.6 gm =  1.496\times 10^{11} m[/tex]

1 giga meter = 10^{9} meter

Let the mass of the particle be m' which x distance from Sun.

Distance of the particle from Earth = (r-x)

Force between Sun and particle:

F=G\frac{M\times m'}{x^2}=G\frac{333,000 m\times m'}{x^2}

Force between Sun and particle:

F'=G\frac{mm'}{(r-x)^2}

Force on particle is equal:

F = F'

G\frac{333,000 m\times m'}{x^2}=G\frac{mm'}{(r-x)^2}

\frac{x}{r-x}=\sqrt{333,000} = ±577.06

Case 1:

\frac{x}{r-x}=577.06

x = 1.49\times 10^{11} m=149.34 Gm

Acceptable as the particle will lie in between the straight line joining Earth and Sun.

Case 2:

\frac{x}{r-x}=-577.06

x = 1.49\times 10^{11} m=149.86 Gm

Not acceptable as the particle will lie beyond on line extending straight from the Earth and Sun.

A box is at rest on a ramp at an incline of 22°. The normal force on the box is 538 N.
fomenos

Answer: 580 N

Refer to attached figure.

The angle of inclination is 22 degrees

weight (gravitational force) acts downwards.

Normal force is a contact force which acts perpendicular to the point of contact.

The horizontal component (mg cos 22 ) balances the normal force and the vertical component balances the frictional force.

Gravitational force on an object = mg

The normal force N= mg cos 22

\Rightarrow mg =\frac{N}{cos22}=\frac{538 N}{0.927}=580 N

A 2.0-kg object is lifted vertically through 3.00 m by a 150-N force. How much work is done on the object by gravity during this
noname [10]

Answer:

-58.8 J

Explanation:

The work done by a force is given by:

W=Fdcos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement.

In this problem, we are asked to find the work done by gravity, so we must calculate the magnitude of the force of gravity first, which is equal to the weight of the object:

F=mg=(2.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=19.6 N

The displacement of the object is d = 3.00 m, while \theta=180^{\circ}, because the displacement is upward, while the force of gravity is downward; therefore, the work done by gravity is

W=Fdcos \theta=(19.6 N)(3.00 m)(cos 180^{\circ})=-58.8 J

And the work done is negative, because it is done against the motion of the object.
