If i step on a shard of glass while playing volleyball barefoot, which path will the reflex to pull my foot up follow?

sensory nerve - spinal cord - motor nerve - effector work together to cause the reflex to lift the foot.

<h3>What role does the spinal cord play?</h3>

The spinal cord is a lengthy band of tissue that resembles a tube. It ties your brain and lower back together. Your spinal cord relays nerve messages back and forth from your brain to your body. You can experience feelings and move your body thanks to these nerve transmissions.

<h3>What occurs if the spinal cord is hurt?</h3>

Nerve function is lost beneath the site of damage. A spinal cord damage higher up can paralyze the majority of the body and all limbs (called tetraplegia or quadriplegia). Legs and lower body paralysis may result from a lower spinal cord injury (called paraplegia).

A small block is attached to an ideal spring and is moving in SHM on a horizontal, frictionless surface. When the amplitude of t
Maslowich

Answer:

a) The time taken to travel from 0.18 m to -0.18m when the amplitude is doubled = 2.76 s

b) The time taken to travel from 0.09 m to -0.09 m when the amplitude is doubled = 0.92 s

Explanation:

a) The period of a simple harmonic motion is given as T = (1/f) = (2π/w)

It is evident that the period doesn't depend on amplitude, that is, it is independent of amplitude.

Hence, the time it would take the block to move from its amplitude point to the negative of the amplitude point (0.09 m to -0.09 m) in the first case will be the same time it will take the block to move from its amplitude point to negative of the amplitude point in the second case (0.18 m to -0.18 m).

Hence, time taken to travel from 0.18 m to -0.18m when the amplitude is doubled is 2.76 s

b) Now that the amplitude has been doubled, the time taken to move from amplitude point to the negative amplitude point in simple harmonic motion, just like with waves, is exactly half of the time period.

The time period is defined as the time taken to complete a whole cycle and a while cycle involves movement from the amplitude to point to the negative amplitude point then fully back to the amplitude point. Hence,

0.5T = 2.76 s

T = 2 × 2.76 = 5.52 s

Note that the displacement of a body undergoing simple harmonic motion from the equilibrium position is given as

y = A cos wt (provided that there's no phase difference, that is, Φ = 0)

A = amplitude = 0.18 m

w = (2π/5.52) = 1.138 rad/s

When y = 0.09 m, the time = t₁₂ = ?

0.09 = 0.18 Cos 1.138t₁ (angles in radians)

Cos 1.138t₁ = 0.5

1.138t₁ = arccos (0.5) = (π/3)

t₁ = π/(3×1.138) = 0.92 s

When y = -0.09 m, the time = t₂ = ?

-0.09 = 0.18 Cos 1.138t₂ (angles in radians)

Cos 1.138t₂ = -0.5

1.138t₂ = arccos (-0.5) = (2π/3)

t₂ = 2π/(3×1.138) = 1.84 s

Time taken to move from y = 0.09 m to y = -0.09 m is then t = t₂ - t₁ = 1.84 - 0.92 = 0.92 s

Hope this Helps!!!

B. How can you tell where sugar enters the blood?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Sugar can’t enter cells directly

Explanation:

So when blood sugar level rises, cells in the pancreas signal for the release of insulin into the bloodstream. The insulin attaches to the sugars and signals cells to let it enter with the attached sugar. Insulin is known as the key that unlocks cells.

What physics principle is used in radar guns to find the speeds of tennis balls and baseballs at sporting events?
Luda [366]
<h2>Answer: Doppler effect </h2>

Explanation:

A radar gun  (also known as a Doppler radar) uses the Doppler effect when measuring "return echoes" after having sent a microwave signal (a type of electromagnetic radiation).  

In this context the Doppler effect consists of the change in a wave perceived frequency when the emitter of the waves, and the observer move relative to each other.  

In the case of radars, a microwave signal is sent to a target (the tennis or baseball in this case) and then is reflected after "hitting" the target, so that the radar system measures this difference between the sent signal and the reflected signal.
