Why does a balloon blast when too much air is blown into it?
if you think about it, air molecules increase more and more. And the balloon has it flexibility. But the balloon can only stretch out a far distance. Henceforth, too much air molecules from you will make the balloon pop
What does Hooke's Law meausure?
Hooke's Law describes the relationship between the amount of stretch of a material or object (like a spring) and the force which causes that stretch. Often this is a linear relationship (or at least within a certain range of stretch it remains nearly linear). If you are operating in the linear range, then it can be utilized to determine how much force is being applied, or predict how much some material will stretch, given a known force. see this Hyperphysicslink for more info.
What happens when a force is applied to a metal?
Depends on how strong the metal is, how much of it there is, and how big the force is. Strong metal, lots of it, only little force - nothing happens. Strong metal, small part, little force - the metal will stretch and then spring back when the force is removed. Strong metal, small part, more force - the metal will stretch permanently. Strong metal, small part, even more force, the metal will stretch until it snaps. etcetc
How much force is required to stretch the spring 49 inches?
That depends on the spring.

What is happens when the tendon is stretch too much?
Hyper extension
Why do ligaments need to stretch much more than tendon bones?
So the bones and muscles have a wider range of movement without restriction
What reflex prevents a muscle from exerting too much tension?
It's called the stretch reflex and involves muscle spindles which are sensorimotor organs located in skeletal muscle.
What is ligment?
A ligament is a band of tissue that connects bones and hold various organs in place. Ligaments are found all over the human body. There are three types of ligaments. Peritoneal ligaments, fetal remnant ligaments, and articular ligaments. The peritoneal ligaments is made up of folds of peritoneum. Fetal remnant ligaments are ligaments that are found in very young children. The articular ligaments are ligaments that are found in the joints and connecting bones. Ligaments are slightly elastic; when under tension, they gradually lengthen. This is one reason why dislocated joints must be set as quickly as possible: if the ligaments lengthen too much, then the joint will be weakened, becoming prone to future dislocations. Athletes, gymnasts, dancers, and martial artists perform stretching exercises to lengthen their ligaments, making their joints more supple. The term double-jointed refers to people who have more elastic ligaments, allowing their joints to stretch and contort further. The medical term for describing such double-jointed persons is hyperlaxity and double-jointed is a synonym of hyperlax.
Why do tendons hardly stretch at all when a muscle contracts?
Tendons arent made to stretch.Their purpose is to connect the muscle to the bone.If stretched,the tendon might tear.Same goes for ligaments.You stretch your muscles!
What effect will tearing the of a tendon have on its corresponding muscle?
The corresponding muscle will shrink due to the decreased activity tendon. This is because when the tendon is torn the area around the tendon will not be in very much use until the tendon is repaired which can take a good while unless professionally handled. The muscle will go back to its original size once the tendon heals and the muscle is used more.
How are ligaments and cartilage functionally similar in joints?
No, tendons are not the same as ligaments. Unfortunately, I was absent a long time ago when my class learned about that. So here is something:People often talk about tendons and ligaments as if they are the same thing, but these two types of soft tissue actually perform different functions for the body.A tendon connects muscle to bone. These tough, yet flexible, bands of fibrous tissue attach to the skeletal muscles that move your bones. Tendons essentially enable one to move since they act as intermediaries between the muscles creating the motion of the bones.I'd say the most famous tendon is the Achilles tendon (named after the character Brad Pitt played in the movie Troy) which connects the muscles of your calf to your heel. Also, if you watch the tops of your hands while you type, you can see your tendons at work. Pretty cool, huh?So what's a ligament? If you want to know then read moreLigaments are similar to tendons, but they connect bone to bone and help to stabilize joints. They are composed mostly of long, stringy collagen fibers creating short bands of tough fibrous connective tissue.Ligaments are slightly elastic, so they can be stretched to gradually lengthen increasing flexibility. Athletes and dancers stretch their ligaments to make their joints more supple, and to prevent injury.Here's a cool fact: The term double-jointed refers to people who have more elastic ligaments.You might have heard of some of the ligaments found in the knee since they often tear, especially the ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) when skiing. In fact four ligaments connect the tibia (shin bone) to the femur (thigh bone) to provide structure for the knee.
How much of the extensor tendon may be lacerated without loss of function?
No more than 20%.
How do you stretch the cartilage piercing?
Same as you would stretch any other piercing except much more slowly. Cartilage is difficult to stretch and may not stretch. It just varies from person to person.
How much ligaments are in the body?
900 (:
How much ligaments in the body?
There are 900 (:
How far can a ligament stretch?
Ligaments must be able to stretch so that when the arm stretches, the ligament stretches too if it doesn't you will going to feel pain.
