Answer:

Sensory transduction

Explanation:

The term sensory transduction refers to the conversion process where the sensory energy is converted in order to change the potential of a membrane.

In other words, it can defined as the process of energy conversion such that stimulus can be transmitted or received by the sensory receptors and the nervous system may initiate with the sensory receptors.

Transduction takes in all of the five receptors of the body. Thus skin is also one of the receptors and hence conversion of heat energy into impulses takes place with the help of thermo-sensory neuron.

A gold wire that is 1.8 mm in diameter and 15 cm long carries a current of 260 mA. How many electrons per second pass a given cr
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

162500000.  

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter of the wire , d= 1.8 mm

The length of the wire ,L = 15 cm

Current ,I = 260 m A

The charge on the electron ,e= 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

We know that Current I is given as

I=\dfrac{q}{t}

I=Current

q=Charge

t=time

q= I t

q= 260 m t

The total number of electron = n

q= n e

n=\dfrac{260\times 10^{-3}\ t}{1.6\times 10^{-9}}

n=162500000 t

\dfrac{n}{t}=16250000

The number of electron passe per second will be 162500000.

A hockey puck with a mass of 0.159 kg slides over the ice. The puck initially slides with a speed of 4.75 m/s, but it comes to a
Anton [14]

Answer:

The energy dissipated as the puck slides over the rough patch is 1.355 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the hockey puck, m = 0.159 kg

initial speed of the puck, u = 4.75 m/s

final speed of the puck, v = 2.35 m/s

The energy dissipated as the puck slides over the rough patch is given by;

ΔE = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)

ΔE = ¹/₂ x 0.159 (2.35² - 4.75²)

ΔE = -1.355 J

the lost energy is 1.355 J

Therefore, the energy dissipated as the puck slides over the rough patch is 1.355 J
