The lubrication of bone joints is a subject of ongoing medical research. two bones connected at a joint do not touch. the bones are covered in articular cartilage, and are surrounded by lubricating synovial fluid. rheumatoid arthritis results in overproduction of synovial fluid, swollen joints, and difficult and painful movement. other joint disorders degrade the synovial fluid, directly increasing the friction between the bones, resulting in painful motion.

part a

to measure the effective coefficient of friction in a bone joint, a healthy joint (and its immediate surroundings) can be removed from a fresh cadaver. the joint is inverted, and a weight is used to apply a downward force

Did you ever figure out the right answers since you asked?

Since you have not included the experiment situation and the data, of course, i can not give you specific details about it. but i can you with this question.1) i will assume that the motion is projectile (parabolic) motion.2) yes, the horizontal distance depends on the horizontal velocity as, naming vx the horizontal velocity and t the time, it is: x = vx × t3) now, observe that the flight time depends on the vertical velocity as, naming voy the initial vertical velocity, t the time and y the vertical distance before reaching the ground: y = yo + voy×t - gt² / 2.the higher the initial vertical velocity (voy) the longer the object will be flying and so t will be higher in the equation for the horizontal distance.that explains the relationship between the horizontal distance and the horizontal velocity.

Hi. i believe this is called a scientific  theory.cheers!
