Due to influx of potassium ions, electricity is generated in axon of a neuron.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Axon membrane is the semi permeable membrane that is full of potassium and sodium channels. There’s also Sodium Potassium ATPase pumps. When there’s an impulse coming through the synapse, the potassium channels open. This leads to influx of sodium from outside the membrane to inside it. Then the membrane becomes positive.

Then the electricity is generated and its conducted from one part to another. After the impulse is conducted, the sodium potassium pumps come in action which transports 3 sodium inside and 2 potassium outside in consumption to an ATP.

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The correct answer is Option A (decrease).

Explanation:

According to Heisenberg's presumption of unpredictability, it's impossible to ascertain a quantum state viewpoint as well as momentum throughout tandem.
Also, unless we have accurate estimations throughout the situation, we will have a decreased consistency throughout the velocity as well as vice versa though too.

Other given choices are not connected to the given query. Thus the above is the right answer.

Which of the following is fact-based science rather than part of a personal belief system?

marusya05 [52]

Since there are no choices, then this question calls for open-ended answers. Facts-based science must have proven underlying laws that support inferences such as Coulomb's Law, Kinetic Theory of Matter and many more. On the other hand, examples of science that focus on personal belief is philosophy. This depends on the perspective of known philosophers. An example would be Sigmund Freud who proposed the theory of 3 personalities. Although it is more on personal beliefs, this is used as a foundation in the study of psychology.

A helicopter has blades of length 4.0 m rotating at 3.0 rev/s in a horizontal plane.If the vertical component of the Earth’s mag

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Induced emf, $\epsilon=9.79\times 10^7\ volts$

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the helicopter, l = 4 m

Angular speed of the helicopter, $\omega=3\ rev/s=18.84\ rad/s$

The vertical component of the Earth’s magnetic field is, $B=6.5\times 10^5\ T$

We need to find the induced emf between the tip of a blade and the hub. The induced emf in terms of angular velocity of an rotating object is given by :

$\epsilon=\dfrac{1}{2}B\omega l^2$

$\epsilon=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.5\times 10^5\times 18.84\times (4)^2$

$\epsilon=9.79\times 10^7\ volts$

So, the induced emf between the tip of a blade and the hub is $\epsilon=9.79\times 10^7\ volts$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Explain how the fountain pen is filled up with ink

Leno4ka [110]

Answer: A piston-filling fountain pen has a piston — just like in a car — inside the barrel. This piston goes down to expel air or ink and then back up, pulling ink into the barrel. The typical process is very simple, assuming the pen is clean and dry: Push the piston down, expelling any air in the barrel

After a collision between two different massed objects; the larger objects accelerate at a faster rate than the smaller object?

Nitella [24]

Answer: Things continue doing what they are doing unless a force is applied to it. Objects have a natural tendency to resist change. This is INERTIA. Heavier objects (objects with more mass) are more difficult to move and stop. Heavier objects (greater mass) resist change more than lighter objects, so true

Explanation:

Pushing a bicycle or a Cadillac, or stopping them once moving. The more massive the object (more inertia) the harder it is to start or stop. The Cadillac has more of a tendency to stay stationary (or continue moving), and resist a change in motion than a bicycle.
