The correct answer to the question is Unit i.e a measurement must include both a number and a unit.

EXPLANATION:

During the measurement of any physical quantity, unit plays a crucial role.

The magnitude of a measurement contains two parts known as numerical part and a unit.

This can be understood by an example.

If we say that a body is travelling 5, it gives no idea. Similarly, if we say that the box was pulled to distance metre, it has also no sense.

But, if we say that the body was pulled to 5 metre, it gives an idea about the distance travelled by the body in a specific time interval.

Hence, the magnitude of a measurement is written as -

m = nu.

Here, n is the numerical part and u is the unit.

What determines how soon one action potential can follow another?

belka [17]

It is through biopsychological feedback.

A class of chemical called a neurotransmitter is important in the transmission of nerve impulses. Neurotransmitters are packaged by the cell into small, membrane-bound sacs called vesicles. Upon receiving a chemical signal, the vesicles move toward the cell membrane and fuse with it, releasing the enclosed neurotransmitters from the terminal end of the nerve cell.

two test cars of equal mass moving towards each other collide on a horiontal frictionless surface. Before the collision, car A h

LiRa [457]

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

m1 = m2 = m

u1 = 20 m/s, u2 = - 12 m/s

Let the speed of composite body is v after the collision.

Use the conservation of momentum

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m1 x u1 + m2 x u2 = (m1 + m2) x v

m x 20 - m x 12 = (m + m) x v

20 - 12 = 2 v

8 = 2 v

v = 4 m/s

Thus, the speed of teh composite body is 4 m/s.

Use Eq. cosϕ=R/Z to show that the average power delivered by the source in an L−R−C series circuit is given by Pav = I^2rmsR .

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a L C R circuit, the average power is given by

$P_{av}=V_{rms}I_{rms}Cos\phi$

As given in the question

CosФ = R / Z

And we know that

$V_{rms}=I_{rms}\times Z$

$P_{av}=I_{rms}\times Z\times I_{rms}\times \frac{R}{Z}$

$P_{av}=I_{rms}^{2}\times R$

If predators a and b prey upon the same species and predator a is eliminated

marysya [2.9K]

I would think Predator B would get more food from the species since Predator A was Eliminated.

For Example: if two dogs want the same bowl of food, they are going to fight or try and beat one another to it. So if Predator A is gone then Predator B has the species all to himself unsless another Predator comes.

Hope this helped!!
