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.

Answer:
Earth: 22.246 N
Moon: 3.71 N
Jupiter: 58.72 N
Explanation:
The mass of an object will remain constant in any location, its weight however, can fluctuate depending on its location. For example, a golf ball will weigh less on the moon, but its mass will not be different if it was on earth.
To calculate anything, we need to convert to standard measurements.
5.00 lbs = 2.27 kg
On earth, gravity is measured to be 9.8 m/s², so the weight in Newtons on Earth would be: (2.27 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 22.246 N
Repeated on the moon where gravity is (9.8 m/s²) x (1/6) = 1.633 m/s², so the weight in Newtons on the moon would be: (2.27 kg) x (1.633 m/s²) = 3.71 N
Repeated on Jupiter where gravity is (9.8 m/s²) x (2.64) = 25.87 m/s², so the wight in Newtons on Jupiter would be: (2.27 kg) x (25.87 m/s²) = 58.72 N
Answer:
3.125J
Explanation:
K.E.= 1/2(mass)(velocity)^2
K.E.=1/2(0.25)(5)^2=3.125
