Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is the procedure that is being performed on Tommy, while he is awake.

What is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation?

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive method for mood control. It does not require the patient to be sedated and is usually performed on completely conscious patients.

  • In this procedure, the nerve cells are stimulated by magnetic pulses by placing electromagnetic coils against the scalp of the patient. The patient is then stimulated repetitively which is why it is known as repetitive TMS.
  • Repetitive TMS can be targeted to specific sites of the brain in contrast to other brain stimulation therapies which are more generalized. Magnetic pulse activates the regions of the brain that show decreased activity during conditions like depression.

Tommy sings during the procedure because the region of the brain responsible for memory and singing is stimulated by this procedure.

A girl and a boy are riding on a merry go round that is turning at a constant rate. The girl is near the outer edge, and the boy
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The girl has greater tangential acceleration

Explanation:

The angular acceleration (\alpha) of the merry go round is equal to the rate of the change of the angular velocity, \omega:

\alpha = \frac{d\omega}{dt}

Since all the points of the merry go round complete 1 circle in the same time, the angular velocity of each point of the merry go round is the same, and so all the points also have the same angular acceleration.

The tangential acceleration instead is given by

a_t = \alpha r

where

\alpha is the angular acceleration

r is the distance from the centre of the merry go round

Since the girl is near the outer edge and the boy is closer to the centre, the value of r for the girl is larger than for the boy, so the girl has greater tangential acceleration.

Light will make the object appear “broken” or in an irregular shape.

Refraction is the change in direction of waves.

Ratling [72]

Answer:

Electric force, F=-3.59\times 10^6\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric charge 1, q_1=+40\ C

Electric charge 2, q_2=-40\ C

Distance, d=2\ km=2\times 10^3\ m

To find,

The electric force between these two sets of charges.

Solution,

There exists a force between two electric charges and this force is called electrostatic force. It is equal to the product of electric charged divided by square of distance between them.

F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}

k is the electrostatic constant

F=8.99\times 10^9\times \dfrac{40\times (-40)}{(2\times 10^3)^2}

F=-3.59\times 10^6\ N

So, the electric force between these two sets of charges is -3.59\times 10^6\ N.
