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.

Which describes the average velocity of an ant traveling at a constant speed
yanalaym [24]

Answer: A. The total displacement divided by the time and  C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

Explanation:

Hi! The question seems incomplete, but I found the options on the internt:

A. The total displacement divided by the time.

B. The slope of the ant's acceleration vs. time graph.

C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

D. The average acceleration divided by the time.

Now, since we know the ant is travelling at a constant speed, its average velocity V will be expressed by the following equation:

V=\frac{d}{t}

Where:

d is the ant's total displacement

t is the time it took to the ant to travel to the kitchen

Hence one of the correct options is: A. The total displacement divided by the time

On the other hand, this can be expressed by a displacement vs. time graph graph, where the slope of that line leads to the equation written above. So, the other correct option is: C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

What adaptation does a wood frog have that enable it to survive in deciduous forest ?
sweet [91]

Wood frogs have this adaptation where they accumulate urea in their bodies and convert their liver glycogen to glucose to act as cryoprotectants. This prevents the formation of ice crystals in their bodies that could cause damage cells during freezing in winter.

Capacitor C1 is initially charged to V1 and capacitor C2 is initially charged to V2. The capacitors are then connected to each o
o-na [289]

Answer:

<em>20.08 Volts</em>

Explanation:

<u>Parallel Connection of Capacitors</u>

The voltage across any two elements connected in parallel is the same. If the elements are capacitors, then each voltage is

\displaystyle V_1=\frac{Q_1}{C_1}

\displaystyle V_2=\frac{Q_2}{C_2}

They are both the same after connecting them, thus

\displaystyle \frac{Q_2}{C_2}=\frac{Q_1}{C_1}

Or, equivalently

\displaystyle Q_2=\frac{C_2Q_1}{C_1}

The total charge of both capacitors is

\displaystyle Q_t=Q_1\left(1+\frac{C_2}{C_1}\right)

We can compute the total charge by using the initial conditions where both capacitors were disconnected:

Q_t=V_{10}C_1+V_{20}C_2=25\cdot 24+13\cdot 11=743\ \mu C

Now we compute Q1 from the equation above

\displaystyle Q_1=\frac{Q_t}{\left(1+\frac{C_2}{C_1}\right)}=\frac{743}{\left(1+\frac{13}{24}\right)}=481.95\ \mu C

The final voltage of any of the capacitors is

\displaystyle V_1=V_2=\frac{481.95}{24}=20.08\ V
