The final length minus the initial length, divided by the initial length, is called the elongation.
Only after the muscle has returned to its initial length does the tension begin to diminish.
Part of the reason he talks back so much (nearly doubling the initial length of his speech, in this case) is that he likes the sound of his own voice.
The following graph shows how ant transit time increases dramatically as the initial length of the rubber band increases from 1 to just 5 centimeters.
When both the activity of the muscle and the force in it begin to decline, the load stretches the muscle back to its initial length.
Under tension, orientation of molecules continues until the specimen is drawn to about four times its initial length, a property of particular importance in filaments.
In 2000 iceberg B-15 broke off the Ross Ice Shelf with an initial length of 295 km (about 185 miles).
Telomeres' initial length varies among individuals, but in everyone, they become shorter over time.
The genuine initial length, the stroke at 0 N, must therefore be calculated.
The initial length of the crack is 100 μm, and the initial angle is 30°.
The average lengthening was 5.3 cm or 16% of the initial length.
