What's the difference between an axon and a dendrite

1 answer:

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 student standing on a stationary skateboard tosses a textbook with a mass of mb = 1.25 kg to a friend standing in front of him

juin [17]

Answer:

The velocity of the student has after throwing the book is 0.0345 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of book =1.25 kg

Combined mass = 112 kg

Velocity of book = 3.61 m/s

Angle = 31°

We need to calculate the magnitude of the velocity of the student has after throwing the book

Using conservation of momentum along horizontal direction

$m_{b}v_{b}\cos\theta= m_{c}v_{c}$

$v_{s}=\dfrac{m_{b}v_{b}\cos\theta}{m_{c}}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{c}=\dfrac{1.25\times3.61\times\cos31}{112}$

$v_{c}=0.0345\ m/s$

Hence, The velocity of the student has after throwing the book is 0.0345 m/s.

A perfectly flexible cable has length L, and initially it is at rest with a length Xo of it hanging over the table edge. Neglect

zaharov [31]

Answer:

$X=X_o+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Explanation:

Given that

Length = L

At initial over hanging length = Xo

Lets take the length =X after time t

The velocity of length will become V

Now by energy conservation

$\dfrac{1}{2}mV^2=mg(X-X_o)$

So

$V=\sqrt{2g(X-X_o)}$

We know that

$\dfrac{dX}{dt}=V$

$\dfrac{dX}{dt}=\sqrt{2g(X-X_o)}$

$\sqrt{2g}\ dt=(X-X_o)^{-\frac{1}{2}}dX$

At t= 0 ,X=Xo

So we can say that

$X=X_o+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

So the length of cable after time t

$X=X_o+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$
