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.

Answer:

$E = 9.66\times 10^{-6} N/C$

direction is Horizontal

Explanation:

As we know that the string is horizontal here

so the tension force in the string is due to electrostatic force on it

now we will have

$F = qE$

so here the force is tension force on it

$F = 6.57 \times 10^{-2} N$

$Q = 6.80 \times 10^3 C$

now we have

$6.57 \times 10^{-2} = (6.80 \times 10^3)E$

$E = 9.66\times 10^{-6} N/C$

direction is Horizontal

A rope exerts a 280 N force while pulling an 80 Kg skier upward along a hill inclined at 12o. The rope pulls parallel to the hil

user100 [1]

Answer:

The speed of the skier after moving 100 m up the slope are of V= 25.23 m/s.

Explanation:

F= 280 N

m= 80 kg

α= 12º

μ= 0.15

d= 100m

g= 9,8 m/s²

N= m*g*sin(α)

N= 163 Newtons

Fr= μ * N

Fr= 24.45 Newtons

∑F= m*a

a= (280N - 24.5N) / 80kg

a= 3.19 m/s²

d= a * t² / 2

t=√(2*d/a)

t= 7.91 sec

V= a* t

V= 3.19 m/s² * 7.91 s

V= 25.23 m/s
