Which joint allows a side-to-side movement called lateral excursion?

Biology
1 answer:
Ivenika [448]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Temporomandibular joint

Explanation:

The lateral excursion refers to the side to side gliding movement of jaws that is unique to mammals. Lateral jaw movement is allowed by a temporomandibular joint which is a joint formed by the condylar process of the mandible and the mandibular fossa and articular tubercle of the temporal bone. This joint has features of both hinge and plane joints.

At the temporomandibular joint, the mandible is movable since the temporal bone is anchored by sutures to the other bones of the skull. During grinding of food, when the posterior teeth are pulled into occlusion, mandible exhibits side to side movement. This lateral jaw movement is observed in animals such as cows and horses during chewing of their food.

Gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s2, and gravity on the Moon is 1.6 m/s2. So, if the mass of an object on Earth is 40 kilograms, its ma
Burka [1]

The weight of an object is the force of gravity exerted on that object and the mass of an object is the amount of matter it has, and it stays the same wherever you are, regardless of gravity. 

So, here the mass of object is 40 kg on earth, it means it has mass of 40 kg on moon also, but when we are calculating the weight of an object we used the following formula,

F=mg

Where F is the weight of an object in Newton and m is the mass of object in kilogram and g is the gravity

Now here gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s2 and m is 40 kg

So, F = 40 x 1.6

<span>F = 64 N</span>

<span>mass of the object on moon is 40kg and weight of an object on moon is 64N.</span>
