A neuron that is activated when a mosquito lands on your arm

1 answer:

<span> The spinal neurons involved in the tingling sensation caused by a light touch are different from those transmitting pain or a 'chemical' itch, the latter elicited by a mosquito bite or a skin wound that is healing.
hope this helps</span>

How is the Sun related to nuclear electromagnetic and heat energy

Snezhnost [94]

-- The source of most of the energy that radiates from the sun is nuclear energy.

-- Most of the energy that radiates from the sun is electromagnetic energy.

-- Heat energy is part of the electromagnetic energy that radiates from the sun.
Other parts include radio, microwave, visible light, ultraviolet, and X-ray energy.

planet a has twice the mass of planet b. from this info what can we conclude about the acceleration due to gravity at the surfac

tangare [24]

Answer: acceleration due to gravity of planet a would be twice that of planet b. Given that the radius are thesame.

Explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity is as a result of the gravitational force of attraction of a planet to its centre.

g = GM/r^2

Where;

g = acceleration due to gravity

G = gravitational constant

M = mass of planet

r = radius of planet

Given that the two planet have the same radius, if the mass of planet a is twice the mass of planet b the the acceleration due to gravity of planet a would be twice that of planet b, because acceleration due to gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the planet.

During a braking test, a car is brought to rest beginning from an initial speed of 60 mi/hr in a distance of 120 ft. With the sa

maw [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial speed $u=60\ mi/hr\approx 88\ ft/s$

distance traveled before coming to rest $d_1=120\ ft$

using equation of motion

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

$0-(88)^2=2\times a\times 120---1$

for $u_2=80\ mi/hr\approx 117.33\ ft/s$

using same relation we get

$0-(117.33)^2=2\times a\times (d_2)----2$

divide 1 and 2 we get

$(\frac{88}{117.33})^2=\frac{120}{d_2}$

$d_2=213.32\ ft$

So a distance if 213.32 ft is required to stop the vehicle with 80 mph speed

What is the magnitude of the speed of a person at the equator due to rotational speed of the Earth?

notka56 [123]

The circumference of the Earth at the equator is listed as 24,901 miles.
So his speed is

   24,901 miles per day.

Convert it to units that we have a better feel for:

   (24,901 mi/da) x (1 da / 24 hrs)

   = (24,901 / 24) (miles/hour)

   = about 1,038 miles per hour.

You'll find a huge number of people on the internet these days,
telling you that you could not be moving at that speed and not
feel it, so therefore the Earth is not spinning, and it's not a globe.

I have a lot of feelings and comments about those people, their
lines of reasoning, and their levels of education and intelligence,
so don't get me started.

I just want to guarantee you that everything you're learning about
the Earth and the solar system in school is well founded, and it's
all based on the life's work of some of the smartest people of the
past 300 years of human history. Everything you're taught about
the Earth has good reasons behind it, whereas those other people
have nothing.

A person on Earth's equator is moving from west to east at roughly
1,038 miles per hour, relative to any point on the Earth's rotation axis.
