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 .

1) 4°C : It has the highest density as shown on the graph.

2) Water expands when it freezes, making it less dense than just water.

3) The ice would sink to the bottom, then the rest of the water would freeze as well, the entire lake/river/whatever will freeze eliminating the organisms that live there.

1.Suppose someone pulls a cart up a ramp a distance of 85cm along the ramp with a force of 15N.

Drupady [299]

1. 12.75 J

Assuming that the force applied is parallel to the ramp, so it is parallel to the displacement of the cart, the work done by the force is

$W=Fd$

where

F = 15 N is the magnitude of the force

d = 85 cm = 0.85 m is the displacement of the cart

Substituting in the formula, we get

$W=(15 N)(0.85 m)=12.75 J$

2. 10.6 N

In this part, the cart reaches the same vertical height as in part A. This means that the same work has been done (because the work done is equal to the gain in gravitational potential energy of the object: but if the vertical height reached is the same, then the gain in gravitational potential energy is the same, so the work done must be the same).

Therefore, the work done is

$W=Fd=12.75 J$

However, in this case the displacement is

d = 120 cm = 1.20 m

Therefore, the magnitude of the force in this case is

$F=\frac{W}{d}=\frac{12.75 J}{1.20 m}=10.6 N$
