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 5 kg block is pushed across a table by a horizontal force of 40 N with an acceleration of 5 m/s^2. What is the frictional forc

julsineya [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass, M = 5Kg

horizontal force, F_h = 40N

acceleration, a =5 m/s^2

frictional force, F_f =?

net force = ma

net force = F_h - F_f = 40N - F_f

40 - F_f = 5 x 5

- F_f = 25 - 40

multiply both side by -1

F_f = 40 - 25 = 15

the frictional force is 15N

Why are scientific models important?

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Scientific models are representations of objects, systems or events and are used as tools for understanding the natural world. Models use familiar objects to represent unfamiliar things. Models can help scientists communicate their ideas, understand processes, and make predictions.

Find the minimum uncertainty in the speed of a uranium nucleus having mass 4e-25 kg if we know the position of the uranium nucle

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

13180 m/s

Explanation:

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Mass is usually measured in grams (g) or kilograms (kg)

The nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle that contains genetic material (DNA) of eukaryotic organisms. As such, it serves to maintain the integrity of the cell by facilitating transcription and replication processes.

Having understood those terms, lets calculate the minimum uncertainty in the speed of a uranium nucleus having mass 4e-25 kg if we know the position of the uranium nucleus to within 1e-14 m, that is, to about its own size.

Please kindly check attachment for the step by step explaination.
