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 .

Gold, which has a density of 19.32 g/cm3, is the most ductile metal and can be pressed into a thin leaf or drawn out into a long

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

a) 578.0 cm²

b) 25.18 km

Explanation:

We're given the density and mass, so first calculate the volume.

D = M / V

V = M / D

V = (6.740 g) / (19.32 g/cm³)

V = 0.3489 cm³

a) The volume of any uniform flat shape (prism) is the area of the base times the thickness.

V = Ah

A = V / h

A = (0.3489 cm³) / (6.036×10⁻⁴ cm)

A = 578.0 cm²

b) The volume of a cylinder is pi times the square of the radius times the length.

V = πr²h

h = V / (πr²)

h = (0.3489 cm³) / (π (2.100×10⁻⁴ cm)²)

h = 2.518×10⁶ cm

h = 25.18 km

A student conducts an experiment in which a cart is pulled by a variable applied force during a 2 s time interval. In trial 1, t

fredd [130]

Answer:

The answer is "Including all three studies of 0s to 2s, that shift in momentum is equal".

Explanation:

Its shift in momentum doesn't really depend on the magnitude of its cars since the forces or time are similar throughout all vehicles.

Let's look at the speed of the car

$F = m a\\\\a =\frac{F}{m}$

We use movies and find lips

$\to v = v_0 + a t\\\\\to v = v_0 + (\frac{F}{m}) t$

The moment is defined by

$\to p = m v$

The moment change

$\Delta p = m v - m v_0$

Let's replace the speeds in this equation

$\Delta p = m (v_0 + \frac{F}{m t}) - m v_0\\\\\Delta p = m v_0 + F t - m v_0\\\\\Delta p = F t$

They see that shift is not directly proportional to the mass of cars since the force and time were the same across all cars.

If the coefficient of kinetic friction between a 22 kg kg crate and the floor is 0.27, what horizontal force is required to move

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

58.27 N

Explanation:

the data we have is:

mass: $m=22kg$

coefficient of friction: $\mu =0.27$

and we also know the acceleration of gravity is $g=9.81m/s^2$

We need to do an analysis of horizontal and vertical forces acting on the object:

-------

Vertically the forces acting on the object:

Normal force $N$ (acting up from the object)

weight: $w=mg$ (acting down from)

so the sum of forces in the vertical axis "y" are:

$F_{y}=N-w\\F_{y}=N-mg$

from Newton's second Law we know that $F=ma$ , so:

$ma_{y}=N-mg$

and since the object is not accelerating in the vertical direction (the movement is only horizontal) $a_{y}=0$ , and:

$0=N-mg\\N=mg$

-----------

now let's analyze the horizontal forces

frictional force: $f= \mu N$ and since $N=mg$ --> $f=\mu mg$

force to move the object: $F$

and the two forces just mentioned must be opposite, thus the sum of forces in the "x" axis is:

$F=ma_{x}=F-f\\ma_{x}=F-\mu mg$

and we are told that the crate moves at a steady speed, thus there is no acceleration: $a_{x}=0$

and we get:

$0=F-\mu mg\\F=\mu mg$

substituting known values:

$F=(0.27)(22kg)(9.81m/s^2)\\F=58.27N$
