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

1 answer:

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 .

A stationary boat bobs up and down with a period of 2.4 s when it encounters the waves from a moving boat.

lapo4ka [179]

It seems like the question is asking for the frequency.
Given:
Time period (T) = 2.4 sec

Frequency (f) =?

We know that the formula for frequency is:

Frequency (f) = 1/time period (T)

= 1 / 2.4 s

= 0.42 Hz. is the frequency for this problem.

A child is holding a wagon from rolling straight back down in a driveway that inclined at 20 degree horizontal. if the wagon wei

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

F = 51.3°

Explanation:

The component of weight parallel to the inclined plane must be responsible for the rolling back motion of the car. Hence, the force required to be applied by the child must also be equal to that component of weight:

$F = Parallel\ Component\ of\ Weight\ of\ Wagon= WSin\theta\\$

where,

W = Weight of Wagon = 150 N

θ = Angle of Inclinition = 20°

Therefore,

$F = (150\ N)Sin\ 20^o$
