What is a wave that appears to stay in one place?
A Standing Wave, the principle of superposition states that : The resultant of two or more superposed harmonic vibrations is simply the sum of the displacements of the individual vibrations.To understand better what is a stationary wave, you should understand how stationary waves are formed.Check out Melde's set up.Melde, set up an apparatus, where one end produced a wave when the oscillator was switched on, the wave then hit the pulley and bounced back. This wave hit the incoming new wave from the oscillator and since they had the same characteristics (same wavelength, speed, frequency) and were in the opposite direction they created a stationary wave.
Causes hair to stand on end?
Little muscles at the base of each hair shaft called arrector pili (also Erector pili).When we are cold, muscles just below our skin, called erector muscles, contract. This pulls on our hairs, causing them to stand on end. By doing this, the hairs form an insulating layer of air, which keeps us warm and maintans our constant internal body temperature.
Is the voicebox the same as vocal cords?
yes, it is also called Larynx. the structure of muscle and cartilage at the upper end of the human trachea, containing the vocal cords and serving as the organ of voice.
A physical property that is measure of the distance from one end of somethingto the other?
The measurement from one end of an object to the other end of the object is called the length of the object.
What are those contraptions called that have around 6 silver balls hanging on string and when you drop a ball on one end the ball on the opposite end comes up?
It's called a Newton's Cradle, after Sir Isaac Newton. It demonstrates the conservation of energy.
The stationary end of a muscle is called its?
Origin
Is the most stationary end of the muscle called the origin?
yes
What is the relationship between origin insertion and action of the skeletal muscles?
The end of the muscle that is attached to the stationary bone is the point of origin. The muscle end that is attached to the moving bone is the point of insertion, and the action is what the muscle actually does.
What is at the end of a skeletal muscle?
nerve
What is the movable point to which a muscle may be attached?
The "movable" end of a muscle is called the insertion. The "immobile" end is called the origin. Shortening, or contraction, of a muscle causes the origin and insertion to become closer to one another.
What part of a muscle is usually attached to a fixed location?
A muscle insertion is the end of a muscle attached to the free-moving bone of its joint. A muscle origin is the end of the muscle attached to the relatively fixed bone of the joint.
How do you muscles move bones?
In order to work, a skeletal muscle must have both ends connected to he skeleton. The end of a muscle that does not move is called its origin. The other end is attached to the bone it moves, and is called insertion.
How do you skeleton muscles move bones?
In order to work, a skeletal muscle must have both ends connected to he skeleton. The end of a muscle that does not move is called its origin. The other end is attached to the bone it moves, and is called insertion.
When a skeletal muscle contracts it usually moves the bone at one end much more than the bone at its other end The attachment of the muscle to the less moveable bone is called its?
origin
What is the nonmoveable end of skeletal muscle?
origin
What is the stationary point to which a muscle attaches to the body known as?
Ligaments attach bone to bone. Tendons attach muscles to bone.No, the origin is the attachment of a muscle to a stationary bone. You may have commonly heard of this as a "fixed end".
Tendons are bundles of collagen fibers at the end of a skeletal muscle that?
That attaches muscle to bone.
