When holding an object steady does the number of motor units remain the same?

Yes it does. As long as the effort to hold the object in a steady position remains the same, then the number of motor units needed to keep it in that position remains the same. It is only when the force, or effort, required to do a specific task changes does the number of motor units needed to accomplish the task change.

How is the slide held steady so that it does not move as you look at the object?
body tube
Are the most body movements isotonic or isometric?
Most body movements involve isotonic muscle contractions: the muscle fibers either lengthen or shorten as they contract.An isometric contraction involves the muscle fibers staying the same length. Holding something steady, or pushing against a brick wall, are examples of isometric contraction.
What term do you use to describe evolution as a slow and steady process?
Graduated.
What is the ability of the body to maintain equilibrium or steady state called?
homeostasis
When evolution occurs at a slow steady pace the rate is defined as what?
Gradualism
Why is no work done no an object when a force acting on the object dose not move?
It's a play on words (try holding a weight steady at arms length) that's totally dependent on the definition of "work".
An example of zero acceleration would be what?
If you are moving at a speed of ceratin speed and there is no force trying to slow you down, and there is no force trying to speed you up. Then there is zero acceleration. An example would be : an object in out in space, if you throw a object away from you the object will float away, since there is no force working on the object after you throw it the object is moving away in a locked speed from you, but have zero acceleration because there is no force affecting the object
What opposes the motion of one object moving past another?
Friction opposes the motion of one object moving past another. Objects at rest remain at rest and objects traveling at a steady rate in a straight line continue that way until a force acts on them.
Why does the temperature of body remain steady when the body is undergoing a change in state?
5620
How can an object be motionless and in equilibruim?
an object that is not moving can be in equilibrum. an object moving at a steady speed in a straight line can also be equilibrum.
What does an artist use to steady his brush hand?
A steady brush hand comes from practice and building up the needed muscles for holding the brush at the appropriate level.
Why did many freed slaves remain on or near their former plantation homes?
They were usually assured of steady employment.
What speed occurs when an object travels at a steady rate for a period of time?
Constant speed.
What can force?
A. It can stop objects that are in motion.Force can change or deform an object's shape and feature.It can move a steady object (because force is a "push" or "pull").
What is another word for fluctuate?
Remain steady, stay the same, keep on an even course.Hold, persist, remain, stay...
Do temperatures in temperate zone remain steady year around?
No, but they are less variable than in the polar regions.
What is environment to you?
Environment is the set of physical conditions surrounding a given object. It can be steady-state or transient.
