The synapse is actually the link between 2 neurons. Now when
an action potential contacts the synaptic knob of a neuron, the voltage-gate
calcium channels are unlocked, resulting in an influx of positively charged
calcium ions into the cell. This makes the vesicles containing
neurotransmitters, for example acetylcholine, to travel towards the
pre-synaptic membrane. When the vesicle arrives at the membrane, the contents
are released into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis. Neurotransmitters disperse
across the space, down to its concentration gradient, up until it reaches the
post-synaptic membrane, where it connects to the correct neuroreceptors. Connecting
to the neuroreceptors results in depolarisation in the post-syanaptic neuron as
voltage-gated sodium channels are also opened, and the positively charged
sodium ions travel into the cell. When adequate neurotransmitters bind to
neuroreceptors, the post-synaptic membrane overcame the threshold level of
depolarisation and an action potential is made and the impulse is transmitted.
Mass of the bird(m) = 150 g = 0.15 kg
Speed (v) = 10 m/s
Kinetic Energy = 
= 7.5 J
Altitude (h) = 15 m
Gravitational Potential Energy = (0.15)(9.81)(15) = 22.0725 J
Mechanical Energy = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy = 7.5 + 22.0725
= 29.5725 J
Answer:
<em>a) 3.56 x 10^22 N</em>
<em>b) 3.56 x 10^22 N</em>

Explanation:
Mass of the sun M = 2 x 10^30 kg
mass of the Earth m = 6 x 10^24 kg
Distance between the sun and the Earth R = 1.5 x 10^11 m
From Newton's law,
F = 
where F is the gravitational force between the sun and the Earth
G is the gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2
m is the mass of the Earth
M is the mass of the sun
R is the distance between the sun and the Earth.
Substituting values, we have
F = 
= <em>3.56 x 10^22 N</em>
<em></em>
A) The force exerted by the sun on the Earth is equal to the force exerted by the Earth on the Sun also, and the force is equal to <em>3.56 x 10^22 N</em>
b) The force exerted by the Earth on the Sun = <em>3.56 x 10^22 N</em>
Answer:
C. An object accelerates in the same direction as that of the force applied.
Explanation:
An object accelerates in the same direction as that of the force applied.
Because acceleration depends not only on the change in velocity.
It also depends on the time during which the change occurs.
The formula is
Acceleration = (change in velocity) divided by (time for the change) .
Maybe Sla changed his velocity in 3 seconds, but Hazel
took all morning to change hers. In that case, even though
the amounts of change were equal, the times were different,
so the quotients of (change/time) were different.
