Gate-control theory

<h3>What is Gate-control theory?</h3>

According to the Gate Control Theory of Pain, the spinal cord has a system that allows pain signals to be amplified in the brain before being processed at the spinal cord itself, or attenuated there. 

The mechanism that allows or prevents the passage of pain signals is known as the gate. The gate may be open or it may be closed, one of two possibilities: 

  • When the gate is open, pain signals can enter and are delivered to the brain, where they are perceived as pain.
  • If the gate is closed, pain signals will be prevented from ascending to the brain and won't be felt.

The administration of a non-noxious (soothing or light rubbing) stimulus can help engage the gate control mechanism and alleviate pain in those who are exposed to painful (noxious) stimuli.

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

(A) Impulse = 9Ns

(B) F = 1286N

Explanation:

Impulse = change in momentum = m(v-u)

v = 0 (the hand comes to a stop)

u = -10m/s

Mass = 0.9kg

Impulse = 0.9 ×(0- (-10))

= 9Ns

(B) F×t = Impulse

F = Impulse/ t

t = 7ms = 7×10-³

F = 9/ (7×10-³)

F = 1286N.
