Describe the function of a reflex arc.​

Physics
2 answers:
malfutka [58]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls a reflex. In vertebrates, most sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain, but synapse in the spinal cord. This allows for faster reflex actions to occur by activating spinal motor neurons without the delay of routing signals through the brain.

Answer:

It allows faster reflex actions to occur by activating spinal motor neurons without the delay of routing signals through the brain. The brain will receive the sensory input while the reflex is being carried out and the analysis of the signal takes place after the reflex action.

Use the conservation of angular momentum; angular momentum at the beginning = angular momentum at the end 
Conservation of angular momentum: 
I1 w1 = I2 w2 
Where I is the moment of inertia. For a sphere, I=2/5 m R^2. Substituting into the equation above we get 
w2 = I1 w1 / I2 = w1 m1 R1^2 / (m2 R2^2) 
w2 = w1 4 * (R1/R2)^2
= 4*(1)*(7E5/7.5)^2
= 3.48E10 revs/(17days)
= 2.04705882 x 10^9 revs/sec

A 2 kg and 2 meter long stick is held horizontally. A 4 kg mass is placed at 30 cm, and a 5 kg mass is placed at 75 cm. Determin
Llana [10]

Answer:

τ = 32.8635 N-m (counterclockwise)

Explanation:

Given

M = 2 kg

L = 2 m

r = 0.10 m

m₁ = 4 kg

r₁ = (1.00-0.30)m = 0.70 m

m₂ = 5 Kg

r₂ = (0.90-0.75)m = 0.15 m

In order to determine the torque on the meterstick if it is received and allowed to pivot about the 90 cm mark (ypu can see the pic to understand the question), we apply:

τ = r₁*m₁*g + r₂*m₂*g - r*M*g = g*(r₁*m₁+r₂*m₂-r*M)

⇒  τ = (9.81 m/s²)(0.70 m*4 kg + 0.15 m*5 Kg - 0.10 m*2 kg)

⇒  τ = 32.8635 N-m (counterclockwise)

dezoksy [38]
To continue moving at constant speed in a straight line requires NO net force. Zero. Nada. If there IS any net force on the object, then its speed or direction will change.

Explain why energy is needed in active transport.
alexira [117]
Because if not it wouldn't be able to move for example if you don't eat to get the energy you need you would be weak and not be able to move as much and not be able to transport yourself to places :) hope this helps

What is the wavelength of an earthquake wave if it has a speed of 5 km/s and a frequency of 10 Hz?
mafiozo [28]

The answer is 0.5 km because 5 km/s divided by 10 Hz is 0.5. This makes your wavelength 0.5 km.
