What's the difference between an axon and a dendrite

1 answer:

5 0

Dendrites are the fine branches from the cell body that receive incoming information from other neurons and transmit it to the cell body.
Axons on the other hand transmit information from the cell body to other neurons or to cells in glands and muscles. This would make a bit more sense if you take a look at a structure of the neuron.

A centrifuge in a forensics laboratory rotates at an angular speed of 3,700 rev/min. When switched off, it rotates 46.0 times be

ra1l [238]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given,

initial angular speed, ω = 3,700 rev/min

= $3700\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}=387.27\ rad/s$

final angular speed = 0 rad/s

Number of time it rotates= 46 times

angular displacement, θ = 2π x 46 = 92 π

Angular acceleration

$\alpha = \dfrac{\omega_f^2 - \omega^2}{2\theta}$

$\alpha = \dfrac{0 - 387.27^2}{2\times 92\ pi}$

$\alpha = -259.28 rad/s^2$
