What's the difference between an axon and a dendrite

Physics
1 answer:
solniwko [45]3 years ago
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.

The mass of a full bottle of cooking oil is 1.30 kg when half Is empty calculate mass of empty bottle
frozen [14]
Mass of bottle + cooking oil = 1.3 kg
Mass of bottle + 1/2 cooking oil = 0.9 kg
Thus half cooking oil = 1.3 - 0.9 
                                  = 0.4 kg
Mass of cooking oil in a full bottle = 0.4 × 2
                                                      = 0.8 kg
Therefore the mass of the empty bottle
               = 1.3 - 0.8 
               = 0.5 kg

As an admirer of Thomas Young, you perform a double-slit experiment in his honor. You set your slits 1.01 mm apart and position
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

0.00195\ \text{m}

0.00293\ \text{m}

Explanation:

m = Order = 1

D = Distance between screen and slit = 3.09 m

d = Slit distance = 1.01 mm

\lambda = Wavelength = 639 nm

Distance from the first bright fringe from the central bright fringe is given by

y=\dfrac{m\lambda D}{d}\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{1\times 639\times 10^{-9}\times 3.09}{1.01\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow y=0.00195\ \text{m}

Distance from the first bright fringe from the central bright fringe is 0.00195\ \text{m}

Distance from the second dark fringe from the central bright fringe is given by

y=(m+\dfrac{1}{2})\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}\\\Rightarrow y=(1+\dfrac{1}{2})\dfrac{639\times 10^{-9}\times 3.09}{1.01\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow y=0.00293\ \text{m}

Distance from the second dark fringe from the central bright fringe is 0.00293\ \text{m}.

A ball is projected into the air. Where is potential energy the greatest? A) A. B) B. C) C. D) A. and C.
Ksju [112]

The point with the greatest potential energy is B.

The potential energy of an object is depends on the relative distance between the object and the ground and its mass. The higher the object is from the ground the greater the potential energy posses.

Potential energy (P.E) = mgh

Where m is the mass, g is the gravity and h is the height from the ground to where the object is.

Since the mass and gravity is constant in this case, only the height will determine the point with the greatest P.E and that point is B.
