Would you measure the height of a building in meters? give reasons for your answer

No because, if we measure the height of a building in 'metres' it will be difficult for us as we will have a big number. Calculating the height in feet is easier.

Explain how the message is transmitted from the receiving neuron’s dendrites down the axon all the way to the axon terminal (ele

Vikki [24]

The vesicles release neurotransmitters. These cross the synapse and are accepted by the receptors in the dendrites of the next neuron.

Explanation:

An axon, or nerve fiber, is a long slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body. Axons are in effect the primary transmission lines of the nervous system, and as bundles they help make up nerves.

When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it depolarizes the membrane and opens voltage-gated Na+ channels. Na+ ions enter the cell, further depolarizing the presynaptic membrane.

a 100g ice cube at 0 degrees celsius is placed in 650 grams of water at 25 degrees celsius. When the mixture reaches equillibriu

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The latent heat of fusion of water is 334.88 Joules per gram of water.

Explanation:

Let the latent heat of ice be 'x' J/g

1) Thus heat absorbed by 100 gram of ice to get converted into water equals

$Q_1=100\times x$

2) heat energy required to raise the temperature of water from 0 to 25 degree Celsius equals

$Q_2=100\times 4.186\times 11=4604.6Joules$

Thus total energy needed equals $Q_1+Q_2=100x+4604.6$

3) Heat energy released by the decrease in the temperature of water from 25 to 11 degree Celsius is

$Q_3=650\times 4.186\times (25-11)\\\\Q_{3}=38092.6Joules$

Now by conservation of energy we have

$Q_1+Q_2=Q_3\\\\100x+4604.6=38092.6\\\\\therefore x=\frac{38092.6-4604.6}{100}=334.88J/g$

plates of a parallel-plate capacitor are 2.50 mm apart, and each carries a charge of magnitude 85.0 nC . The plates are in vacuu

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

12500 V

Explanation:

The electric field in the gap of a parallel-plate capacitor is uniform, so the following relationship between electric field strength, potential difference and distance can be used:

$\Delta V = E d$
