What causes the sodium channels to open successively?

1 answer:

4 0

<span>When Sodium moves into the neuron it causes a charge change in the neuron, making it very positive. It repolarizes by pumping sodium back out of the neuron, re-establishing the potential. Neurotransmitters transmit an impulse from one neuron to another chemically. Inhibitory neurotransmitters stop impulses, excitatory neurotransmitters create and encourage impulses. For an action potential to fire the threshold of the input source must be reached.</span>

A charged particle moving along the x-axis enters a uniform magnetic field pointing along the z-axis. Because of an electric fie

Furkat [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the charge particle have charge equal to +q .

force due to electric field will be along the field that is along y - axis . To balance it force by magnetic force must be along - y axis. ( negative of y axis )

force due to magnetic field = q ( v x B ) , v is velocity and B is magnetic field.

F = q ( v i x B k ) , ( velocity is along x direction and magnetic field is along z axis. )

= (Bqv) - j

= - Bqv j

The force will be along - ve y - direction .

If we take charge as negative or - q

force due to electric field will be along - y axis .

magnetic force = F = -q ( v i x B k )

= + Bqv j

magnetic force will be along + y axis

So it is difficult to find out the nature of charge on the particle from this experiment.

If the pendulum is brought on the moon where the gravitational acceleration is about g/6, approximately what will its period now

Andru [333]

Answer:

The new period will be √6 *T

Explanation:

period ,T=2π√(L/g) ................equation 1

where T is the period on earth

gravitational acceleration on the moon is g/6

T1 = 2π√[L/(g/6)]

T1=2π√(6L/g) ...............equation 2

divide equation 2 by 1

T1/T =2π√(6L/g)÷2π√(L/g)

T1/T =√(6L/L)

T1/T =√6

T1 = √6 *T

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

< 25 m/s
triangle inequality
between north and east
45° < angle < 60°

Explanation:

(a) Just as one-dimensional numbers add on a number line by putting them end-to-end, so two-dimensional numbers add on a coordinate plane the same way.

Here, we choose to let the positive y-axis represent North, and the positive x-axis, East. This is the way a map is conventionally oriented. The velocity of the plane is represented by a vector pointing north (up). Its length represents the magnitude of the velocity. Likewise, the wind is represented by a vector of length 15 pointing east (right). The sum of these is the hypotenuse of the triangle they form.

The magnitude of the sum can be found here using the Pythagorean theorem, but for the purpose of this question, you're not asked to find that.

Instead, you're asked to estimate whether it is more or less than 25 (m/s).

Your knowledge of the triangle inequality will tell you that the hypotenuse (resultant) must be shorter than the sum of the lengths of the sides of the triangle, hence must be less than 10+15 = 25.

(b) The triangle inequality says the resultant is less than the sum of the other two sides of the triangle.

(c) Since the wind is blowing the plane toward the east, but the plane is traveling toward the north, the resulting direction is somewhere between north and east.

(d) "Somewhere between north and east" can be expressed as the inequality ...

13. A proton moves at 7.50×107 m/s perpendicular to a magnetic field. The field causes the proton to travel in a circular path o

diamong [38]

The magnetic force acting on a charged particle moving perpendicular to the field is:

$F_{b}$ = qvB

$F_{b}$ is the magnetic force, q is the particle charge, v is the particle velocity, and B is the magnetic field strength.

The centripetal force acting on a particle moving in a circular path is:

$F_{c}$ = mv²/r

$F_{c}$ is the centripetal force, m is the mass, v is the particle velocity, and r is the radius of the circular path.

If the magnetic force is acting as the centripetal force, set $F_{b}$ equal to $F_{c}$ and solve for B:

qvB = mv²/r

B = mv/(qr)

Given values:

m = 1.67×10⁻²⁷kg (proton mass)

v = 7.50×10⁷m/s

q = 1.60×10⁻¹⁹C (proton charge)

r = 0.800m

Plug these values in and solve for B:

B = (1.67×10⁻²⁷)(7.50×10⁷)/(1.60×10⁻¹⁹×0.800)

B = 0.979T
