In a bedridden patient recovering from a badly fractured femur, disuse atrophy in the thigh muscles is caused by _________.

1 answer:

3 0

In a bedridden patient recovering from a badly fractured femur, disuse atrophy in the thigh muscles is caused by decreased synthesis of muscle proteins and/or increased breakdown of muscle proteins. Muscle tissue grows and heals in response to stress. Without the stress of exercise and normal daily activities, muscle tissue degenerates

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity I decreases is proportional t

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Intensity of beam 18 feet below the surface is about 0.02%

Explanation:

Using Lambert's law

Let dI / dt = kI, where k is a proportionality constant, I is intensity of incident light and t is thickness of the medium

then dI / I = kdt

taking log,

ln(I) = kt + ln C

I = Ce^kt

t=0=>I=I(0)=>C=I(0)

I = I(0)e^kt

t=3 & I=0.25I(0)=>0.25=e^3k

k = ln(0.25)/3

k = -1.386/3

k = -0.4621

I = I(0)e^(-0.4621t)

I(18) = I(0)e^(-0.4621*18)

I(18) = 0.00024413I(0)

Intensity of beam 18 feet below the surface is about 0.2%

a rod of some material 0.20 m long elongates 0.20 mm on heating from 21 to 120°c. determine the value of the linear coefficient

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The value of the linear coefficient of thermal expansion is : α=1.01 *10⁻⁵ (ºC)⁻¹

Explanation:

Li = 0.2m

ΔL = 0.2 mm = 0.0002m

T1 = 21ºC

T2 = 120ºC

ΔT =99ºC

α =ΔL/(Li*ΔT)

α =0.0002m /(0.2m * 99ºC)

α = 1.01 *10⁻⁵ (ºC)⁻¹

A 35 g steel ball is held by a ceiling-mounted electromagnet 4.0 m above the floor. A compressed-air cannon sits on the floor, 4

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

7.9 m/s

Explanation:

When both balls collide, they have spent the same time for their motions.

Motion of steel ball

This is purely under gravity. It is vertical.

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Distance, s = 4.0 m - 1.2 m = 2.8 m

Acceleration, a = g

Using the equation of motion

$s = ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$2.8 \text{ m} = 0+\dfrac{gt^2}{2}$

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{5.6}{g}}$

Motion of plastic ball

This has two components: a vertical and a horizontal.

The vertical motion is under gravity.

Considering the vertical motion,

Initial velocity, u = ?

Distance, s = 1.2 m

Acceleration, a = -g (It is going up)

Using the equation of motion

$s = ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$1.2\text{ m} = ut-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Substituting the value of t from the previous equation,

$1.2\text{ m} = u\sqrt{\dfrac{5.6}{g}}-\dfrac{1}{2}\times g\times\dfrac{5.6}{g}$

$u\sqrt{\dfrac{5.6}{g}} = 4.0$

Taking g = 9.8 m/s²,

$u = \dfrac{4.0}{0.756} = 5.29 \text{ m/s}$

This is the vertical component of the initial velocity

Considering the horizontal motion which is not accelerated,

horizontal component of the initial velocity is horizontal distance ÷ time.

$u_h = \dfrac{4.4\text{ m}}{0.756\text{ s}} = 5.82\text{ m/s}$

The initial velocity is

$v_i = \sqrt{u^2+u_h^2} = \sqrt{(5.29\text{ m/s})^2+(5.82\text{ m/s})^2} = 7.9 \text{ m/s}$
