Answer:

Sensation refers to the process by which people detect physical energy in the environment and encode that energy as neural signals.

Explanation:

Sensation helps us to detect changes in our physical environment.

Sensation occurs in three steps,

  • Sensory receptors, these detect stimuli.
  • Sensory stimuli are converted into electrical impulses to be decoded by the brain.
  • Finally, electrical impulses move along neural pathways to specific parts of the brain wherein the impulses are decoded into useful information.

Therefore, Sensation refers to the process by which people detect physical energy in the environment and encode that energy as neural signals.

salantis [7]

Answer:

The bell has a potential energy of 8550 [J]

Explanation:

Since the belt is 45 [m] above ground level, only potential energy is available. And this energy can be calculated by means of the following equation.

E_{p}= W*h\\E_{p} = 190*45\\E_{p}=8550[J]

If the net force on an object is in a negative direction, what will the direction of the resulting acceleration be?
Verdich [7]
Newton's 2nd law says:          Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .

I wrote Force and acceleration in bold letters because
they're both vectors ... they have size and direction.

The equation is saying that the Force and the acceleration
are both in the same direction.
