It's important to maintain muscle flexibility by stretching only after aerobic exercise.

lions [1.4K]

Answer: Most aerobic and strength training programs cause your muscles to contract and tighten. So stretching after you exercise helps optimize the range of motion about your joints and boosts circulation.

Hope this helps!

A motor does 20. joules of work on a block, accelerating the block vertically upward. Neglecting friction, if the gravitational

Eva8 [605]

The motor does 20 J of work on the block, it means that the total mechanical energy of the block has increased by 20 J. But the increase in total mechanical energy is equal to the sum of the increases in potential energy and kinetic energy:
$\Delta E = \Delta U + \Delta K$
So, if the gravitational potential energy has increased by 15 J, the kinetic energy has increased by
$\Delta K = \Delta E - \Delta U = 20 J - 15 J= 5 J$

How does visible Light travel through outer space?

Dima020 [189]

By the electromagnetic "vibrations" that make up light. Said EM vibrations are an electric field and a magnetic field at right angles to each other and to the direction of propagation/travel. Light travels by the same "mechanism" that X rays travel, radio waves travel and anything else in the vast electromagnetic spectrum. Probably how I'm able to type these words on a computer key board and have them transmitted "Wi Fi" like, to you, the hapless recipient. You're a Cheetah ??? That means you can run like the wind ????
