Answer:
a. 2v₀/a b. 2v₀/a
Explanation:
a. Since you are moving with a constant velocity v₀, the distance, s you cover in time = t max is s = v₀t.
Since the dragster starts from rest with an acceleration, a, using
s' = ut + 1/2at² where u = 0 and s' = distance moved by dragster
s' = 0t + 1/2at²
s' = 1/2at²
Since the distance moved by me and the dragster must be the same,
s = s'
v₀t. = 1/2at²
v₀t. - 1/2at² = 0
t(v₀ - 1/2at) = 0
t= 0 or v₀ - 1/2at = 0
t= 0 or v₀ = 1/2at
t= 0 or t = 2v₀/a
So the maximum time tmax = 2v₀/a
b. Since the distance covered by me to meet the dragster is s = v₀t in time, t = tmax which is also my distance from the dragster when it started. So, my distance from the dragster when it started is s = v₀(2v₀/a)
= 2v₀/a
Both of your answers are correct
Answer:
Explanation:
Neurons communicate via both electrical signals and chemical signals. The electrical signals are action potentials, which transmit the information from one of a neuron to the other; the chemical signals are neurotransmitters, which transmit the information from one neuron to the next.
The electrical signal travels down the axon to the axon terminals where it tells the vesicles to release the neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft which travel to the receptors of the receiving cell which releases the second messengers
