Answer:

They can generate potentials spontaneously because they have Unstable Membrane Potentials.

Explanation:

Autorythmic cells or Pacemaker cells are cells that provide Action potentials (electrical impulses) that starts off the cardiac cycle.

N:B This action potential is created spontaneously.

To explain further, the heart originate in specialized cardiac muscle cells, called autorhythmic cells, that can excite themselves and therefore are able to generate an action potential without external stimulation by nerve cells. And this sets the cardiac cycle i

(Pumping of the heart) into motion. (The pace maker potential)

The Autorhythmic cells create an action potential spontaneously

And this is possible because they have an UNSTABLE RESTING POTENTIAL that is continuously depolarizing, while it drifts slowly toward threshold. As Na+ ions enter the cell, the inner surface of the plasma membrane becomes less negative gradually, thus generating the pacemaker potential.

Answer:

Because of unstable membrane potentials

Explanation:

Autorhythmic cells are specialized cardiac muscle cells in the heart from which electrical impulses called action potentials originate. These cells can generate electrical impulses without any external simulations by the nerve cells. I.e. they are self – excitable.

Autorhythmic cells spontaneously create action potentials because they have an unstable resting or membrane potentials that continuously depolarizes, drifting slowly toward threshold. As sodium ions enter the cell, the inner surface of the plasma membrane gradually becomes less negative, generating the pacemaker potential.

Though their is an influx of sodium ions into the cell, the basic reason for the spontaneous generation of action potentials solely because of unstable membrane potentials. and not majorly due to the influx of sodium ion.

Find the acceleration of a hamster when it increases its velocity from rest to 8.0 m/s in 3.0 s .
Eva8 [605]
<span>Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time.
We can find acceleration a, by the following formula

a=v-u/t

where,
v is the final velocity (in this question v=8.0 m/s)
u is the initial velocity (since the hamster starts from rest, u=0)
t is the time taken (i,e 3.0 second)
now by applying the formula we have,

a = 8.0 - 0 / 3
= 8 / 3
= 2.65 m/s</span>²<span> 

The acceleration is 2.65 meters per second squared</span>

In physics, why would an equation like y=mx+b be plotted as a straight line rather than as a parabola, as is done in math?
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Explanation:

In Both Physics and Math

y=mx+b is plotted as straight line where

m=slope of line

b=intercept on Y-axis

whereas Equation of parabola is something like this

y^2=4ax

or

x^2=4ay

Math is a tool to solve Physics problems so equations are same in math and physics

A special triangular frame is being made for a piece of artwork. The the base of the triangular frame must be 90 cm. If the area
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Explanation:

base of triangular frame, b = 90 cm

Area, A = 765 cm²

Let the height is h.

Area of a triangular frame = 1/2 x base x height

765 = 0.5 x 90 x h

h = 17 cm

Thus, the height of triangular frame is 17 cm.
