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.

The combined amount of kinetic and potential energy of its molecules
Answer:
d) -4.0
Explanation:
The magnification of a lens is given by
where
M is the magnification
q is the distance of the image from the lens
p is the distance of the object from the lens
In this problem, we have
p = 50 cm is the distance of the object from the lens
q = 250 cm - 50 cm is the distance of the image from the lens (because the image is 250 cm from the obejct
Also, q is positive since the image is real
So, the magnification is
Let's call the constant acceleration a.
At a time t, its speed will thus be v(t)=a*t+v0 where v0 is its initial speed, here 10 m/s. Hence v(t)=a*t+10.
From there we can deduce the position P(t)=a*t^2/2+10t+p0 where p0 is the initial position, here 0.
Hence P(t)=a*t^2/2+10t
Let's call T the time at which it's at 50 m/s, we know that P(T)=225m and that v(T)=50 m/s hence a*T+10=50 thus a=40/T and P(T)=(40/2+10)T=30T
Hence T=225/30=7.5
It took 7.5 seconds
