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.

If it requires 2.0 J of work to stretch a particular spring by 2.0 cm from its equilibrium length, how much more work will be re
valina [46]

Answer:

16 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Work done, W = 2 J

A spring is stretched by 2.0 cm from its equilibrium length

We need to find how much more work will be required to stretch it an additional 4.0 cm.

Let k is the spring constant of the spring. When W = 2J, and x = 2 cm, then energy required to stretch the spring is :

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\\k=\dfrac{2U}{x^2}\\\\k=\dfrac{2(2)}{(0.02)^2}\\\\k=10000\ N/m

The energy required to stretch the spring from 2 cm to additional 4 cm i.e. 2+4= 6 cm.

W=\dfrac{1}{2}k(x_2^2-x_1^2)\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 10000\times ((0.06)^2-(0.02)^2)\\\\W=16\ J

So, the required work done is 16 J.

The ability of a singer to shatter glass is due to: <br> bending of a wave around an obstacle
Rzqust [24]
The ability of singers to shatter glass is due to the control of frequency in their voices. The sound waves will vibrate the air particles that surround the glass at its resonant frequency. The glass will break if a singer sings too loudly.
