Why would weakness of ligaments lead to a greater range of motion of a joint?
there is a defect in the collagen tissue which allows for more ROM. if the collagen was not defective it would be more elastic and not allow a greater ROM range of movement
Why is the shoulder joint harder to move than the elbow joint?
The shoulder joint is not harder to move, it just moves differently. It is a ball and socket joint, giving it a wider range of movement, but the elbow is a synovial joint, which can only move in one direction. The reason that yo may find it harder to move your shoulder is because the muscles pulling it may be less developed and also it has to pull up an entire arm, not just a forearm.
Why do you think your skin is not a good sensor of temperature?
Skin senses temperature quite well within a limited range, but it can be either frozen or burned, by termeratures outside of its range.
What force of nature acts over the longest distance?
Both gravity and the electromagnetic force have infinite range. The color force is limited by its own strength (objects with color charge separated by more than a tiny distance create enough potential energy that it's more energetically favorable to just create a new particle), and the weak force is limited by the mass of its gauge particles to a very small range.
How does movement cause sound?
Sound is waves in the air that vibrate the ear drum in your ears allowing you to hear. When movement is made these waves are sent through the air and are perceived as sound if they are with audible range. So technically when you fart there is waves gong through the air that can be detected by your ears!!!
