Most of our skeletal muscles are attached to bone on either end by tendons. As the muscles contract‚ they exert force on the bones. This force helps to support and move our body. Normally one end of the muscle is fixed in its position and the other end moves during contraction. The Origin is the attachment site that is stationary during contraction. The insertion is the site that does move when a muscle contracts. When we discuss the position of the Origin and insertion points‚ the insertion

Six Forces Porter’s forces analysis is a framework for industry analysis and business strategy development that draws upon industrial organization economics to determine the competitive intensity and overall industry profitability. These forces are 1) potential entry of new competitors‚ 2) bargaining power of suppliers‚ 3) bargaining power of buyers‚ 4) substitute products‚ 5) rivalry among competing sellers in an industry‚ and 6) power of stakeholders. A change in any of the forces normally

There are substantial downside risks for recovery and subsequent growth in developed countries.” From bad to worse Vikram Nehru‚ the World Bank’s chief economist for East Asia said the continent’s economies were engulfed in a perfect storm. “In the last four months‚ things have gone from bad to worse in many of the advanced economies. The decline in production‚ the decline in the availability of credit‚ all of these factors are now leading to a substantial

if a force with the same magnitude at opposite angles would equal to a net force of zero. If we equalize all the forces so we get a net gain force of 0 then no weight should touch the floor or the pulleys. We then tested if we added an extra weight with certain angle. We found out at what angle and what weight would equalize the force. The dependent variable is the force we used to equalize the force table. The controlled variables are the weight we initialized to create an unbalanced force. Equipment

Increasing the stimulus amplitude will increase the contraction force. Due to two conditions being satisfied: (1) the strength of the contraction force is changed through varying the number of muscle cells utilized for the contraction and/or varying the frequency of the stimulus‚ and (2) there is a distribution of the stimulus amplitude necessary to cause an action potential in the muscle cells‚ increasing the stimulus amplitude makes it likely that a potentially larger number of muscle cells will

List and explain the 6 forces of the Porter model. Six Forces Model: The Six Forces Model (SFM) is a business strategy tool. It is primarily used as an industry model to assess the competitiveness of a market. The Six Forces Model is an improvement over the Five Forces Model developed by Michael Porter. SFM is more specific than even SWOT‚ and is also used as an alternative to SWOT. SFM analyses six areas in a market place:- Competition: Are there a lot competition in the market? Are there

Explain which force(s) were responsible for your bridge’s failure. How could you change the design to make it stronger? Compression and tension forces were responsible for breaking our bridge. There were compression forces on top of the bridge and tension forces under the bridge. Most of our bridge’s base was suspended in midair‚ and we could have fixed that by extending the length of the bridge. That way‚ all the rods and connectors under compression would have the table as support. Also‚ after

Dear Mr H.Redknapp Hello Harry I met you at the Hyatt Hotel in Birmingham and I spoke to your assistant manager about my trip to Malawi. I Hope you are ok!
