physics Consider an object that is thrown vertically up with initial speed $$ v_o $$ in a linear medium. (a) Measuring y upward from the point of release, write expressions for the object's velocity $$ v_y(t) $$ and position y(t). (b) Find the time for the object to reach its highest point and its position $$ y_{max} $$ at that point. (c) Show that as the drag coefficient approaches zero, your last answer reduces to the well-known result $$ y_{max} = 1/2 v_o^2/g $$ or an object in the vacuum. Verified answer

Which of the following is characteristic of a lower motor neuron disease?Lower motor neuron (LMN) syndromes are clinically characterised by muscle atrophy, weakness and hyporeflexia without sensory involvement. They may arise from disease processes affecting the anterior horn cell or the motor axon and/or its surrounding myelin.
What is a lower motor neuron lesion?The term lower motor neuron lesion refers to any disorder producing loss of function of the lower motor neuron supply to somatic musculature. This may result from any process that damages or reduces functioning of the lower motor neuron perikaryon, or the axon or its surrounding myelin.
What are three symptoms of lower motor neuron disease?Lower motor neuron syndrome is characterized by the following symptoms:. The effects can be limited to small groups of muscles. ... . Muscle atrophy. ... . Weakness. ... . Fasciculation. ... . Fibrillation. ... . Hypotonia. ... . Hyporeflexia.. |
