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

Physics

kobusy [5.1K]3 years ago

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 .

The length of a planet's day is determined by it's
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: "People will say the length of a day is determined by just the rotation rate of a planet, but that isn’t entirely true. The orbit around its sun also factors in. What we define as a day is the time between when the Sun is highest in the sky until the next time the Sun is at the highest point in the sky. This isn’t just the time it takes the Earth to rotate once on its axis, though. This is because, as the Earth is rotating, it’s also moving relative to the Sun"

An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 162 ft, then climbs 137 ft at an angle of 31.0° abov
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that

Δr = r₁ - r₀

r₀ = 0 i + 0 j

r₁ = (162+137*Cos(31º)+137*Cos(-48º)) i + (0+137*Sin(31º)+137*Sin(-48º)) j = (371.1028 i - 31.2506 j) ft

Δr = r₁ - r₀ = (371.1028 i - 31.2506 j) - (0 i + 0 j) = (371.1028 i - 31.2506 j) ft

Magnitude:

Δr = √((371.1028)²+(-31.2506)²) = 372.4163 ft

Angle:

tan θ = (- 31.2506 / 371.1028) = -0.0839   ⇒   θ = tan⁻¹(-0.0839) = - 4.8135º

(below the horizontal).

Is it possible for an object with a constant speed to accelerating?
FromTheMoon [43]
Yes. A roulette ball circulating in a spinning wheel, a car going around a curved
road at 30 mph, and a planet in a circular orbit are all being accelerated.

"Acceleration" does NOT mean "speeding up".  It means any change in the
speed or DIRECTION of motion.
