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.

Pluto orbits the Sun at an average distance of 5.91 × 10^12 meters. Pluto’s diameter is 2.30 × 10^6
irakobra [83]

Well first of all, since the question deals with the relationship of Charon and Pluto, we don't care about their distance from the sun, because that has no effect on the gravitational forces between them.

All we need is Newton's law of universal gravitation:

                             Gravitational forces = G  m₁ m₂ / D²    .

' G ' is the gravitational constant ...  6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ newt-m²/kg²

m₁ = either one of the masses ...  1.31 x 10²² kg  (Pluto)

m₂ = the other mass ... 1.55 x 10²¹ kg  (Charon)

D = the distance between their centers ... 1.96 x 10⁷ meters

   Gravitational forces = G  m₁ m₂ / D²

     =  (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ newt-m²/kg²)
         times (1.31 x 10²² kg) times (1.55 x 10²¹ kg)
         divided by  (1.96 x 10⁷ meters)²

      =  (6.67 x 1.31 x 1.55 x 10⁻¹¹ ⁺ ²² ⁺ ²¹ ⁻ ¹⁴) / (1.96)²

      =  (13.54 x 10¹⁸) / (3.84)  =  3.53 x 10¹⁸ newtons .

<span>This is the gravitational force of attraction that Pluto exerts
on Charon.  It's also the </span><span>gravitational force of attraction that
Charon exerts on Pluto.  The gravitational forces are always
equal and opposite.

A uniform magnetic field B⃗ , with magnitude 1.2 mT, is directed vertically upward throughout the volume of a laboratory chamber
nadezda [96]

Answer:

1. The proton is deflected toward the east by the magnetic force, but its kinetic energy does not change

Explanation:

This is consequently because the magnetic field unlike the electric field, deflects the electron but does not change its speed or kinetic energy.

A sack of potatoes that weighs 200 N falls from an airplane. as the velocity of fall increases, the air resistance also increase
ZanzabumX [31]

When air resistance is equal to the sack's weight, it will no longer accelerate (so its acceleration will be zero) and will be falling at terminal velocity.

until a train is a safe distance from the station, it must travel at 5 m/s. once the train is on open track, it can speed up to
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

5 meters per second squared

Explanation:

We calculate the acceleration using the formula:

a = (vf - vi) / t

where "vf" is the final velocity, "vi" the initial velocity, and "t" the time it took to change from the initial velocity to the final one.

In our case:

a = (45 - 5) / 8 = 40 / 8 = 5 m/s^2

A parallel-plate capacitor consists of two plates, each with an area of 27 cm^2 separated by 3.0 mm. The charge on the capacitor
aev [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Capacity of a parallel plate capacitor  C = ε₀ A/ d

ε₀ is permittivity whose value is 8.85 x 10⁻¹² , A is plate area and d is distance between plate.

C =(  8.85 X10⁻¹² X  27 X 10⁻⁴ ) / 3 X 10⁻³

= 79.65 X 10⁻¹³ F.

potential diff between plate = Charge / capacity

= 4.8 X 10⁻⁹ / 79.65 X 10⁻¹³

= 601 V

Electric field = V/d

= 601 / 3 x 10⁻³

= 2 x 10⁵ N/C

Force on proton

= charge x electric field

1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 2 x 10⁵

= 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁴

Acceleration a = force / mass

= 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁴ / 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷

= 1.9 x 10¹³ m s⁻²

Distance travelled by proton = 3 x 10⁻³

3 x 10⁻³ = 1/2 a t²

t = \sqrt{\frac{3\times2\times10^{-3}}{1.9\times10^{13}} }

t = 1.77 x 10⁻⁸ s
