Explain how neurons convey information using both electrical and chemical signals.

1 answer:

8090 [49]2 years ago

6 0

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

93 cm3 liquid has a mass of 77 g. When calculating its density what is the appropriate number of significant figures

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

828 kg/m³ or 0.828 g/cm³

Explanation:

Applying,

D = m/V............. Equation 1

Where D = density of the liquid, m = mass of the liquid, V = volume of the liquid.

From the question,

Given: m = 77 g , V = 93 cm³

Substitute these values into equation 1

D = 77/93

D = 0.828 g/cm³

Converting to kg/m³

D = 828 kg/m³

The human ear canal is about 2.8 cm long. If it is regarded as a tube that is open at one end and closed at the eardrum, what is

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

f = 3.1 kHz

Explanation:

given,

length of human canal =2.8 cm = 0.028 m

speed of sound = 343 m/s

fundamental frequency = ?

The fundamental frequency of a tube with one open end and one closed end is,

$f = \dfrac{v}{4L}$

$f = \dfrac{343}{4\times 0.028}$

$f = \dfrac{343}{0.112}$

f = 3062.5 Hz

f = 3.1 kHz

hence, the fundamental frequency is equal to f = 3.1 kHz

A uniform electric field with a magnitude of 5750 N/C points in the positive x direction. Find the change in electric potential

castortr0y [4]

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric field = 5750 N/C

Charge $q=+10.5\times10^{-6}\ C$

Distance = 5.50 cm

(a). When the charge is moved in the positive x- direction

We need to calculate the change in electric potential energy

Using formula of electric potential energy

$\Delta U=-W$

$\Delta U=-F\cdot d$

$\Delta U=-q(E\cdot d)$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta U=-10.5\times10^{-6}\times5750\times5.50\times10^{-2}$

$\Delta U=-3.32\times10^{-3}\ J$

The change in electric potential energy is $-3.32\times10^{-3}\ J$

(b). When the charge is moved in the negative x- direction

We need to calculate the change in electric potential energy

Using formula of electric potential energy

$\Delta U=-W$

$\Delta U=-F\cdot (-d)$

$\Delta U=-q(E\cdot (-d))$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta U=-10.5\times10^{-6}\times5750\times(-5.50\times10^{-2})$

$\Delta U=3.32\times10^{-3}\ J$

The change in electric potential energy is $3.32\times10^{-3}\ J$

Hence, This is the required solution.
