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.

Two boxers are fighting. Boxer 1 throws his 5 kg fist at boxer 2 with a speed of 9 m/s.

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

0.001 s

Explanation:

The force applied on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the object:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$

where

F is the force applied

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

The change in momentum can be written as

$\Delta p=m(v-u)$

where

m is the mass

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

So the original equation can be written as

$F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}$

In this problem:

m = 5 kg is the mass of the fist

u = 9 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity

F = -45,000 N is the force applied (negative because its direction is opposite to the motion)

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to solve for the time:

$\Delta t=\frac{m(v-u)}{F}=\frac{(5)(0-9)}{-45,000}=0.001 s$

Help? I don't know how to do this.

aliya0001 [1]

Use the definition of acceleration:

Acceleration = (change of velocity) divided by (time for the change)

The graph says:

Change of velocity = -6 m/s

Time for the change = 3 sec

So Acceleration = (-6m/s) / (3 s)

That's -6/3 m/s•s

or

-2 m/s^2

A 23.5 g piece of aluminum metal is initially at 100.0°C. It is dropped into a coffee cup-calorimeter containing 130.0 g of wate

vivado [14]

Answer: The molar heat capacity of aluminum is $25.3J/mol^0C$

Explanation:

$heat_{absorbed}=heat_{released}$

As we know that,

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]$ .................(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

$m_1$ = mass of water = 130.0 g

$m_2$ = mass of aluminiunm = 23.5 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = $26.0^oC=(273+26)K=299K$

$T_1$ = temperature of water = $23^oC=(273+23)K=296K$

$T_2$ = temperature of aluminium = $100^oC=273+100=373K$

$c_1$ = specific heat of water= $4.184J/g^0C$

$c_2$ = specific heat of aluminium= ?

Now put all the given values in equation (1), we get

$130.0\times 4.184\times (299-296)=-[23.5\times c_2\times (299-373)]$

$c_2=0.938J/g^0C$

Molar mass of Aluminium = 27 g/mol

Thus molar heat capacity = $0.938J/g^0C\times 27g/mol=25.3J/mol^0C$
