Ion

<u>Explanation:</u>

At the synaptic terminal, voltage-gated ion channels open, thereby stimulating the synaptic vesicles to release the neurotransmitters by exocytosis.

These ion channels are the signaling molecules in neurons. They are the transmembrane proteins that form ion channels. The membrane potential changes the conformation of the channel proteins that regulates their opening and closing. These channels play an important role in neurotransmitter release in presynaptic nerve endings.

For example - Ca²⁺ gated ion channel.

A large balloon of mass 210 kg is filled with helium gas until its volume is 329 m3. Assume the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3 and

Nastasia [14]

(a) See figure in attachment (please note that the image should be rotated by 90 degrees clockwise)

There are only two forces acting on the balloon, if we neglect air resistance:

- The weight of the balloon, labelled with W, whose magnitude is

$W=mg$

where m is the mass of the balloon+the helium gas inside and g is the acceleration due to gravity, and whose direction is downward

- The Buoyant force, labelled with B, whose magnitude is

$B=\rho_a V g$

where $\rho_a$ is the air density, V is the volume of the balloon and g the acceleration due to gravity, and where the direction is upward

(b) 4159 N

The buoyant force is given by

$B=\rho_a V g$

where $\rho_a$ is the air density, V is the volume of the balloon and g the acceleration due to gravity.

In this case we have

$\rho_a = 1.29 kg/m^3$ is the air density

$V=329 m^3$ is the volume of the balloon

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

So the buoyant force is

$B=(1.29 kg/m^3)(329 m^3)(9.8 m/s^2)=4159 N$

(c) 1524 N

The mass of the helium gas inside the balloon is

$m_h=\rho_h V=(0.179 kg/m^3)(329 m^3)=59 kg$

where $\rho_h$ is the helium density; so we the total mass of the balloon+helium gas inside is

$m=m_h+m_b=59 kg+210 kg=269 kg$

So now we can find the weight of the balloon:

$W=mg=(269 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=2635 N$

And so, the net force on the balloon is

$F=B-W=4159 N-2635 N=1524 N$

(d) The balloon will rise

Explanation: we said that there are only two forces acting on the balloon: the buoyant force, upward, and the weight, downward. Since the magnitude of the buoyant force is larger than the magnitude of the weigth, this means that the net force on the balloon points upward, so according to Newton's second law, the balloon will have an acceleration pointing upward, so it will rise.

(e) 155 kg

The maximum additional mass that the balloon can support in equilibrium can be found by requiring that the buoyant force is equal to the new weight of the balloon:

$W'=(m'+m)g=B$

where m' is the additional mass. Re-arranging the equation for m', we find

$m'=\frac{B}{g}-m=\frac{4159 N}{9.8 m/s^2}-269 kg=155 kg$

(f) The balloon and its load will accelerate upward.

If the mass of the load is less than the value calculated in the previous part (155 kg), the balloon will accelerate upward, because the buoyant force will still be larger than the weight of the balloon, so the net force will still be pointing upward.

(g) The decrease in air density as the altitude increases

As the balloon rises and goes higher, the density of the air in the atmosphere decreases. As a result, the buoyant force that pushes the balloon upward will decrease, according to the formula

$B=\rho_a V g$

So, at a certain altitude h, the buoyant force will be no longer greater than the weight of the balloon, therefore the net force will become zero and the balloon will no longer rise.

Round your answers to one decimal place.this parallel circuit has two resistors at 15 and 40 ohms. what is the total resistance?

lubasha [3.4K]

1) The equivalent resistance of two resistors in parallel is given by:
$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}$
so in our problem we have
$\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{15 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{40 \Omega}=0.092 \Omega^{-1}$
and the equivalent resistance is
$R_{eq} = \frac{1}{0.092 \Omega^{-1}}=10.9 \Omega$

2) If we have a battery of 12 V connected to the circuit, the current in the circuit will be given by Ohm's law, therefore:
$I= \frac{V}{R_{eq}}= \frac{12 V}{10.9 \Omega}=1.1 A$

What observations of the martian surface led lowell to the conclusion that intelligent life forms existed on mars?

Alexus [3.1K]

Icecaps that are dissolving, a system of canal-like geometric features, and various pitch black surface markings are all thought to be vegetation are the observations of the martian surface led Lowell to the conclusion that intelligent life forms existed on Mars.

<h3>What is a solar system?</h3>

It is a system that collection of all the planets and spatial bodies revolving around the sun because of the gravitational pull of the sun.

Our Solar System is based on a heliocentric model in which the Sun is assumed to reside at the central point of the planetary system.

In other words, the Sun is at the center while the Earth and other planetary bodies revolve around it.

Lowell came to the conclusion that intelligent life existed on Mars based on his observations of the martian surface, which included melting icecaps, a network of geometric patterns that resemble canals, and numerous markings on the completely black surface that are believed to be flora.

A 2 kg ball of putty moving to the right at 3 m/s has a perfectly inelastic, head-on collision with a 1 kg ball of putty moving

Aneli [31]

Answer:

$V=1.33m/s$ to the right

Explanation:

The balls collide in a completely inelastic collision, in other words they have the same velocity after the collision, this velocity has a magnitude V.

We need to use the conservation of momentum Law, the total momentum is the same before and after the collision.

In the axis X:

$m_{1}*v_{o1}-m_{2}*v_{o2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})V$ (1)

$V=(m_{1}*v_{o1}-m_{2}*v_{o2})/(m_{1}+m_{2})=(2*3-1*2)/(2+1)=1.33m/s$
