You'd be unable to move your finger towards the direction of the severed tendon.

This may affect the extension (straightening) or flexion (bending) of your finger, depending on which tendon was severed.

When you apply force at an angle to the direction of movement force does what?

When you apply force at an angle to the direction of movement, the force gets divided into two components: one perpendicular to the direction of movement and the other parallel to the direction of movement. The component parallel to the direction of movement affects the acceleration of the object, while the component perpendicular to the direction of movement does not contribute to the acceleration in that direction.

If a van de Graaff generator had a strong positive charge on its spherical surface and you moved your finger closer and closer to it a sall sark might appear between you finger and the spheres surface?

The spark is caused by the buildup of excess charge on your finger as it gets closer to the positively charged van de Graaff generator. At a certain point, the electric field between your finger and the generator becomes strong enough to ionize the air molecules, creating a conductive path for the excess charge to flow through in the form of a spark.

Can stenosing tenosynovitis result in patients that have had carpal tunnel surgery?

Generally no, Stenosing tenosynovitis is also called Trigger finger. The Sheath around the tendon closes in or gets tighter around the tendon. Sometimes nodules forms on tendon and this can get caught on the sheath of the tendon causing a locking or triggering effect on the finger...Hence the name. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition where the median nerve in the wrist is compressed causing numbness and tingling in certain fingers but NO triggering and carpal tunnel surgery releases the band that is causing the nerve to be compressed...so this would not effect the tendon sheaths in your fingers. Some people can get adhesions and scar tissue inside the carpal tunnel area after surgery and this can eventually cause the nerve to be effected or compressed again.
