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.

Practice entering numbers that include a power of 10 by entering the diameter of a hydrogen atom in its ground state, dH = 1.06
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

1.06085\times 10^{-10}\ m

Explanation:

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s

m = Mass of electron = 9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

e = Charge of electron = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

n = 1 (ground state)

Angular momentum is given by

L=mvr

From Bohr's atomic model we have

L=\dfrac{nh}{2\pi}

mvr=\dfrac{nh}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{nh}{2\pi mr}

The centripetal force will balance the electrostatic force

\dfrac{ke^2}{r^2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{ke^2}{r}=mv^2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{ke^2}{r}=m(\dfrac{nh}{2\pi mr})^2\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{n^2h^2}{4\pi^2mke^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{1^2\times (6.626\times 10^{-34})^2}{4\pi^2 \times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 8.99\times 10^{9}\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}\\\Rightarrow r=5.30426\times 10^{-11}\ m

The diameter is 2\times 5.30426\times 10^{-11}=1.06085\times 10^{-10}\ m

What is the general relationship between earthquake epicenters and volcano positions along the Pacific coast of Mexico and Centr
yanalaym [24]

Geographically throughout this area of Mexico, Central America Caribbean is located the Cocos plate. This area is scientifically known as the Central American subduction zone.

In order for a volcano to form, there is usually a clash between the technical plates that generates the elevation of the ground and the connection with ducts that release the magma from the earth. If this entire area is a subduction area, it will also be a land stress release area where volcano lines will be formed, that is, it is a convergent plate boundary area
