The speed of sound is greater in ice (4000 m/s), then in water (1500 m/s), then in air (340 m/s). The explanation for this is the differente state of the matter in the three cases.
In fact, sound waves travel faster in solids (like ice), then in liquids (like water), then in gases (like air). This is because the speed of the sound wave depends on the density of the medium: the greater the density, the faster the sound wave. This can be easily understood by thinking at how a sound wave propagates: a sound wave is a vibration of molecules, which is transmitted throughout the medium by collision of the molecules. Therefore, the smaller the spacing between the molecules (such as in solids), the more efficient is the propagation, and so the sound wave is faster. On the contrary, there is a large spacing between molecules in gases (such as in the air), so there are less collisions between the molecules and so the wave is not transmitted efficiently, and so it has less velocity.
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.
Answer:
The speed of the block is 8.2 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
mass of block, m = 2.1 kg
height above the top of the spring, h = 5.5 m
First, we determine the spring constant based on the principle of conservation of potential energy
¹/₂Kx² = mg(h +x)
¹/₂K(0.25)² = 2.1 x 9.8(5.5 +0.25)
0.03125K = 118.335
K = 118.335 / 0.03125
K = 3786.72 N/m
Total energy stored in the block at rest is only potential energy given as:
E = U = mgh
U = 2.1 x 9.8 x 5.5 = 113.19 J
Work done in compressing the spring to 15.0 cm:
W = ¹/₂Kx² = ¹/₂ (3786.72)(0.15)² = 42.6 J
This is equal to elastic potential energy stored in the spring,
Then, kinetic energy of the spring is given as:
K.E = E - W
K.E = 113.19 J - 42.6 J
K.E = 70.59 J
To determine the speed of the block due to this energy:
KE = ¹/₂mv²
70.59 = ¹/₂ x 2.1 x v²
70.59 = 1.05v²
v² = 70.59 / 1.05
v² = 67.229
v = √67.229
v = 8.2 m/s
The answer is true...............
Answer:
0.191 s
Explanation:
The distance from the center of the cube to the upper corner is r = d/√2.
When the cube is rotated an angle θ, the spring is stretched a distance of r sin θ. The new vertical distance from the center to the corner is r cos θ.
Sum of the torques:
∑τ = Iα
Fr cos θ = Iα
(k r sin θ) r cos θ = Iα
kr² sin θ cos θ = Iα
k (d²/2) sin θ cos θ = Iα
For a cube rotating about its center, I = ⅙ md².
k (d²/2) sin θ cos θ = ⅙ md² α
3k sin θ cos θ = mα
3/2 k sin(2θ) = mα
For small values of θ, sin θ ≈ θ.
3/2 k (2θ) = mα
α = (3k/m) θ
d²θ/dt² = (3k/m) θ
For this differential equation, the coefficient is the square of the angular frequency, ω².
ω² = 3k/m
ω = √(3k/m)
The period is:
T = 2π / ω
T = 2π √(m/(3k))
Given m = 2.50 kg and k = 900 N/m:
T = 2π √(2.50 kg / (3 × 900 N/m))
T = 0.191 s
The period is 0.191 seconds.
