Is gravity constant over the entire earth surface.<br>Explain why?​
masha68 [24]

Gravity is often assumed to be the same everywhere on Earth, but it varies because the planet is not perfectly spherical or uniformly dense. In addition, gravity is weaker at the equator due to centrifugal forces produced by the planet's rotation

Why is it important for a muscle to be attached to a fixed origin at one end and a moving insertion at the other? Discuss how th
vlabodo [156]
Muscles function only by contracting. This makes it necessary for one end of the muscle to be fixed and the other mobile.
Take the bicep for example.
Its origin is at the shoulder and its two heads connect to the bones of the forearm, the radius and ulna.
Now, had the muscle not been fixed at one end, and contracted, it would pull both our shoulder and forearm together resulting in an ineffective movement. The desired motion is to lift the forearm (proximal and distal movement) which can only be achieved if the bicep is fixed at the shoulder and allowed to move at the forearm.

To understand the photoelectric effect physiciests should view light as having what type of properties?
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Particle

Explanation:

To understand photoelectric effect the physicists has to view light as a particle and not wave. The wave nature of the light could not explain the phenomenon of photoelectric effect.

Photoelectric effect is emission of electrons from a material when electromagnetic radiation(Light) is incident on it. These emitted electrons are called photoelectrons.

The explain this effect Einstein proposed that beam of light is can not be a wave propagating through space, but a swarm of discrete energy packets, called as photons.
