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.

What would we need to do to make an electromagnet strong enough to move cars and trains
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The combined magnetic force of the magnetized wire coil and iron bar makes an electromagnet very strong. In fact, electromagnets are the strongest magnets made. An electromagnet is stronger if there are more turns in the coil of wire or there is more current flowing through it.

A satellite orbits the earth at a speed of 8.0x 10^3m/s . Calculate the period of orbit of the satellite if the distance between
gladu [14]

Hi there!

The period of an orbit can be found by:

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}

T = Period (? s)
r = radius of orbit (6400000 m)

v = speed of the satellite (8000 m/s)

This is the same as the distance = vt equation. The total distance traveled by the satellite is the circumference of its circular orbit.

Let's plug in what we know and solve.

T = \frac{2\pi (6400000)}{8000} = \boxed{5026.55 s}

Which of the following describes a closed conducting loop through which an electrical current can flow?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
I think the correct answer is the second option. A circuit describes a closed conducting loop through which an electrical current can flow. It is a path that an electrical current could flow. A circuit could be a closed one or an open circuit. A closed circuit would be a circuit where the current could flow continuously. An open circuit would be a type of circuit where the flow current would only go once and stopped at a particular point since the current has nowhere to go. For a circuit to work, an electric supply should be available to supply the electric current.
