Think of Earth as a ball with a rod through it, standing for the axis. This makes it easier to imagine Earths orientation in spa

ce relative to other objects like the Sun. Now consider the Sun as another ball. Imagine the Sun located in the center of a disk, kind of like a Frisbee. The planets in the solar system would be positioned on the Frisbee but at varying distances from the Sun. The area we are imagining as a Frisbee is actually called the plane of the ecliptic. It is the plane of Earths orbit around the Sun. Earths axis is not oriented perpendicular to the plane of its orbit. It is tilted at 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular. Why is this an important detail? This orientation in space, relative to the Sun, has great influence on Earths seasonal changes.
QUESTION 1
In paragraph 4, what word or phrase gives you a clue to what the word perpendicular means?

Somewhat like a Frisbee

Relative to the Sun

Rather it is tilted

Orientation in space

Explanation:

A ball is thrown straight up from a rooftop 320 feet high. The formula below describes the ball's height above the ground, h, in feet, t seconds after it was thrown. The ball misses the rooftop on its way down and eventually strikes the ground. How long will it take for the ball to hit the ground? Use this information to provide tick marks with appropriate numbers along the horizontal axis in the figure shown.

h=-16t^2+16t+320

Increased force output of the synergists for hip extension to compensate for the weakened gluteus maximus is an example of which
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

b. Synergistic dominance

Explanation:

The stabilizing muscles will always be <u>synergistic</u>, since only from the synergies (hence the term synergist) that arise from joint work is efficient and controlled movement possible. However, not all synergists will be stabilizers. Stabilizer will be one that, thanks to the geometric arrangement of its fibers, will have the ability to maintain alignment in the joint and stable the axis of rotation.

In the case of knee extension, we would have as stabilizers all the antagonists who, because the flexion axis is virtual and not physical, must maintain the stability of said axis. If the axle were physical, such as the wheel in a horse carriage, or on a skateboard through the bearings, the antagonistic muscles would not be necessary for this purpose, because the fixed axis would maintain the position. Since the joints of living beings do not have a fixed physical axis, it is the muscles themselves, specifically the antagonists, who must be responsible for maintaining the stability of the joint creating a virtual axis on which rotation occurs.
