Answer:

The outside of a neuron has more sodium ions while at resting state. When a electrical signal is going to pass through, the sodium channels open up first and the positive sodium ions rush inward making the inner side more positive. This is called action potential.

There is layer of fatty substances called as Myelin Sheath over the course of axons. It helps the electrical signal to be transmitted with a fast pace and efficiently over the course.

Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the road and the tires on a car is 0.638 and the car has no negative lift. Wh

larisa [96]

Answer:

12.6332454263 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of car

v = Velocity of the car

$\mu$ = Coefficient of static friction = 0.638

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

r = Radius of turn = 25.5 m

When the car is on the verge of sliding we have the force equation

$\dfrac{mv^2}{r}=\mu mg\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\mu gr}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{0.638\times 9.81\times 25.5}\\\Rightarrow v=12.6332454263\ m/s$

The speed of the car that will put it on the verge of sliding is 12.6332454263 m/s

A 30 kg student drops down from the monkey bars. The acceleration due to gravity is -9.8 m/s^2. Neglecting air drag, what is the

Sholpan [36]

The net force on the student is A) -294 N

Explanation:

Neglecting air resistance, there is only one force acting on the student: the force of gravity, which is given by

$F=mg$

where

m is the mass of the student

g is the acceleration of gravity

In this problem, we have:

m = 30 kg is the mass of the student

$g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity, where the negative sign means the direction is downward

Substituting, we find the force of gravity on the student:

$F=(30)(-9.8)=-294 N$

And since this is the only force acting on the student, it is also the net force on him.

The mass needed at peg 1 is a 5g mass.

The 15g should hang at peg 5.

The reason is force x distance clockwise is equal to force x distance anti-clockwise
