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

An adiabatic nozzle has an inlet area of 1 m^2 and an outlet area of 0.25 m^2. Water enters the nozzle at a rate of 5 m^3/s and

Answer:

v=20m/S

p=-37.5kPa

Explanation:

Hello! This exercise should be resolved in the next two steps

1. Using the continuity equation that indicates that the flow entering the nozzle must be the same as the output, remember that the flow equation consists in multiplying the area by the speed

Q=VA

for he exitt

Q=flow=5m^3/s

A=area=0.25m^2

V=Speed

solving for V

$V=\frac{Q}{A} \\V=\frac{5}{0.25} =20m/s$

velocity at the exit=20m/s

for entry

$V=\frac{5}{1} =5m/s$

To find the pressure we use the Bernoulli equation that states that the flow energy is conserved.

$\frac{P1}{\alpha } +\frac{v1^2}{2g} =\frac{P2} {\alpha } +\frac{v2^2}{2g}$

where

P=presure

α=9.810KN/m^3 specific weight for water

V=speed

g=gravity

solving for P1

$(\frac{p1}{\alpha } +\frac{V1^2-V2^2}{2g})\alpha =p2\\(\frac{150}{9.81 } +\frac{5^2-20^2}{2(9.81)})9.81 =p2\\P2=-37.5kPa$

the pressure at exit is -37.5kPa

A car accelerates from 20mi/hr to 60mi/hr. How many times greater is the car's kinetic energy at the higher speed compared to th

Ainat [17]

Answer:

9 times

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is:

KE = ½ mv²

When we triple the velocity, the kinetic energy increases by a factor of 9.

9KE = ½ m(3v)²

A player kicks a soccer ball in a high arc toward the opponent's goal. At the highest point in its trajectory

____ [38]

At the highest point in its trajectory, the ball's acceleration is zero but its velocity is not zero.

<h3>What's the velocity of the ball at the highest point of the trajectory?</h3>

At the highest point, the ball doesn't go more high. So its vertical velocity is zero.
However, the ball moves horizontal, so its horizontal component of velocity is non - zero i.e. u×cosθ.
u= initial velocity, θ= angle of projection

<h3>What's the acceleration of the ball at the highest point of projectile?</h3>

During the whole projectile motion, the earth exerts the gravitational force with a acceleration of gravity along vertical direction.
But as there's no acceleration along vertical direction, so the acceleration along vertical direction is zero.

Thus, we can conclude that the acceleration is zero and velocity is non-zero at the highest point projectile motion.

Question: Player kicks a soccer ball in a high arc toward the opponent's goal. At the highest point in its trajectory

A- neither the ball's velocity nor its acceleration are zero.

B- the ball's acceleration points upward.

C- the ball's acceleration is zero but its velocity is not zero.

D- the ball's velocity points downward.
