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

is promotes movement, using one of the muscles you observed as an example.

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.

How do you calculate the magnitude of the resultant force of two
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Two forces that act in opposite directions produce a resultant force that is smaller than either individual force. To find the resultant force subtract the magnitude of the smaller force from the magnitude of the larger force. The direction of the resultant force is in the same direction as the larger force.

Why won't a chain reaction occur in natural uranium?
SOVA2 [1]
<span>The density of fissionable uranium is not high enough. Basically more neutrons are absorbed than are produced so any chain reaction dies. hope this helps</span>

If the numbers on the plate are 6.0 cm apart, and the spy satellite is at an altitude of 160 km , what must be the diameter of t
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

The diameter of the camera aperture must be greater than or equal to 1.49m

Explanation:

Let the distance separating two objects, x = 6.0 cm = 0.06 m

The distance between the observer and the two objects, d = 160 km = 160000 m

Let ∅ = minimum angular separation between the two objects that the satellite can resolve

tan( ∅) = x/d

Since there is minimum angular separation, tan( ∅) ≈∅

∅ = x/d

∅ = 0.06/160000

∅ = 3.75 * 10⁻⁷rad

For the satellite to be able to resolve the objects,

D ≥ 1.22λ/∅

λ = 560 nm = 560 * 10⁻⁹

D  ≥ 1.22 *  (560 * 10⁻⁹)/(3.75 * 10⁻⁷)

D  ≥ 149.33 * 10⁻² m

D  ≥ 1.49 m
