The myelin sheath is the structure some neurons have that increases conduction speed.

<h3>What is a neuron?</h3>

Information is transmitted via neurons. They communicate between various brain regions and between the brain and the rest of the nervous system through electrical impulses and chemical signals.

As we know,

An insulating layer of fatty tissue called the myelin sheath surrounds the axon of a neuron and speeds up the electrical signal transmission.

Thus, the myelin sheath is the structure some neurons have that increases conduction speed.

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Given:

Mass of elephant = 5240 kg

The initial speed of the elephant = 4.55 m/s

Mass of the rubber ball, m, = 0.15 kg

Inital speed of the rubber ball, v = 7.81 m/s

On substitution  in V_{2f} = [\frac{2m_{1} }{m_{1} +m_{2} } ]V_{1f} + [\frac{m_{2}-m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}  } ] v_{2f}

V_{2f} = [\frac{2*5240_{} }{5240_{} +0.15_{} } ](-4.55_{}) + [\frac{0.15_{}-5240_{}}{5240_{}+0.15_{}  } ] (7.81_{})

a) The negatıve sign shows that the ball bounces back in the direction opposite  to the incident

b)  it is clear that the velocity of the ball increases and therefore it is kinetic energy . The ball gains kinetic energy from the elephant.

Place the types of radiation in order of INCREASING mass.
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer & explanation:

  • Gamma Radiation (γ):  Also called gamma rays. Gamma radiation is made of electromagnetic waves, has zero charge and mass, continuously emits heat and has the ability to ionize air and make it conductive of electric current.
  • Beta radiation (β): Beta rays or beta particles, are electrons, negative particles with charge - 1 and mass number 0.
  • Alpha radiation (α): Also called alpha particles or alpha rays, are particles charged by two protons and two neutrons.  They have positive charge +2 and mass number 4.

How does the abundance of hydrogen and helium support the Big Bang Theory?
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Hydrogen and helium account for nearly all the nuclear matter in today's universe. This is consistent with the standard or "big bang" model. ... Basically , the hydrogen-helium abundance helps us to model the expansion rate of the early universe. If it had been faster, there would be more neutrons and more helium.
