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.

From a cliff 37.6 m high. At the level of the sea, a rock sticks out a horizontal distance of 12.12 m. The acceleration of gravi
Aleks [24]

Answer:

4.3 m/sec

Explanation:

Here height of cliff = y = 37.6 m

Gravitational acceleration = g = 9.8 m/sec2

vi = 0 m/s

Let's find the time which the diver will take if jumps from there!

Using formula

y = vit+1/2gt2

==> 37.6= 0 + 0.5 ×9.8×t^{2}

==>t^{2}= \frac{37.6}{4.9}

==> t = 2.8 sec

In this time the diver has to cover a horizontal distance of 12.12 m

If x = 12.12 m is the horizontal distance to be covered then using

x= Vx × t

==> Vx = x/t

==> Vx= 12.12/2.8 = 4.3 m/s

Light shines through a single slit whose width is 5.7 x 10-4 m. A diffraction pattern is formed on a flat screen located 4.0 m a
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

\lambda = 570\ nm

Explanation:

Given,

Width of slit, W = 5.7 x 10⁻⁴ m

Distance between central bright fringe, L = 4 m

distance between central bright fringe and first dark fringe, y = 4 mm

Diffraction angle

tan \theta = \dfrac{y}{L}

tan \theta = \dfrac{4}{4\times 10^3}

\theta = 0.0572

Now.

W sin \theta = m \lambda

m = 1

5.7 \times 10^{-4} \times sin (0.0572) = 1 \times \lambda

\lambda = 569.99 \times 10^{-9}\ m

\lambda = 570\ nm

A 1 kg particle moves upward from the origin to (23) m. Wit is work done by the force of gravity which is in - y direction s B.
sveta [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass, m = 1 kg

Position (2, 3 ) m

height, h = 2 m

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Here, no force is acting in horizontal direction, the force of gravity is acting in vertical direction, so the work done by the gravitational force is to be calculated.

Force  mass x acceleration due to gravity

F = 1 x 9.8 = 9.8 N

Work = force x displacement x CosФ

Where, Ф be the angle between force vector and the displacement vector.

Here the value of Ф is 180° as the force acting vertically downward and the displacement is upward

So, W = 9.8 x 2 x Cos 180°

W = - 19.6 J

Thus, option (A) is correct.
