What movement does not increase or decrease the angle between bones?
Rotation and supination do not increase or decrease the angle between bones.
When the angle of a joint increases it produces movement Which type of movement is it?
To increase the angle of a joint is extension. To decrease the angle of a joint is flexion. (plato users the answer is A.)
What are movements along the sagittal plane that decrease the angle between two bones?
Flexion is the general term for movements that decrease the angle between two bones; however, in the sagittal plane, the special term "adduction" is used for movements that decrease the angle between the limb and the midline.
Does extension decrease the angle between two bones?
Flexion decreases the angle between two bones in a joint. Extension increases that angle.
When you increase the height of a ramp which increases the angle does the efficiency for kinetic energy increase of decrease?
The energy efficiency increases as the angle increases.

What angle mesures greater than 90 decrease?
An angle greater than 90 degrees is an obtuse angle or a reflex angle if it is greater than 180 degrees
When you apply force at an angle to the direction of movement of the force does work?
When you apply force at an angle to the direction of movement, two components result; F.D + FxD. F.D = -FDcos(angle) called work and FXD = FDsin(angle) called torque.
When soup is being served how should the diner use the soupspoon?
With their right hand, elbows at a 45 degree angle, very slowly, and no slurping.
What does the medical term flex mean?
In medical terminology, "flex" refers to the movement of a joint that decreases the angle between two body parts. It is the opposite of extension, which increases the angle between body parts. An example of flexion is bending the elbow or knee.
When you increase the height of a ramp which increases the angle does the efficiency for kinetic energy increase of decrease?
The energy efficiency increases as the angle increases.
