The brief wave of positive electrical charge that sweeps down the axon is _____.

Physics
1 answer:
kobusy [5.1K]3 years ago
5 0
I believe Action potential is the brief wave of positive charge that sweeps down the axon. Axon is part of the neuron that conducts impulses from the dendrites towards the cell body along the neuron. The action potential is brief since the sodium channels can only stay open for a very brief amount of time. As it travels along the neuron there is a change in polarity across the membrane of the axon .

Alona [7]

Answer: It is not likely.

Explanation:

When the bus is moving forward, all the objects inside of it also are moving forward.

Now, as the objects inside the buss are not fixed to the bus, if the bus suddenly stops the objects inside of it will keep moving forward, because of the conservation of the momentum, defined as the quantity of motion (Similar to when you are in a car and it suddenly stops, you can feel the forward impulse).

Then is not likely that, in a case where the bus stops suddenly, an object inside the bus flies backward in opposite direction to the previous movement of the bus.

Which option lists a form of potential energy followed by a form of kinetic energy?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Magnetic energy and electromagnetic energy form of potential energy followed by a form of kinetic energy.

(B) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Lists a form of potential energy followed by a form of kinetic energy

We know that,

Sound energy :

The movement of energy through object it is called sound energy. When a object produced vibration by force then it moves in wave.

Sound wave is example of kinetic energy.

Nuclear energy :

The store energy in the nucleus of the atom it is called nuclear energy. This energy released when occurs fusion and fission.

Nuclear energy is the example of potential energy

Magnetic energy :

Magnetic energy is a type of potential energy which is depend on distance and position in the magnetic field.

Electromagnetic energy :

Electromagnetic energy is light energy. it is type of kinetic energy.

Gravitational energy :

Gravitational energy is a type of potential energy. It is an energy related with gravity or gravitational force.

Elastic energy :

The store energy in elastic object it is called elastic energy. This energy is a type of potential energy.

Electrical energy :

The movement of electrons is called electrical energy. When electrons move through a wire then it is are called electricity. Electrical energy is type of kinetic energy.

Hence, Magnetic energy and electromagnetic energy form of potential energy followed by a form of kinetic energy.

(B) is correct option.
