Nerve signals in the body occur when a small voltage, called an action potential, is applied across the membrane of a cell. When

this action potential is applied across a region of the cell membrane called an ion channel, current in the form of moving potassium ions will be established across the cell. If, during an action potential, a single ion channel with a resistance of 1.8 GΩ, is opened for 1.1 ms, approximately 90000 singly-ionized potassium ions travel through the channel during this time. What was the voltage of the action potential

Answer:

A stimulus causes sodium channels to open, allowing sodium ions to enter the neuron.

The neuron becomes more positive.

Potassium  channels open, allowing potassium ions to exit the cell.

Sodium channels close and the cell gradually returns to resting levels.

Answer:  23.56 nV

Explanation:

Assuming that we apply Ohm's Law to this situation, we know that under this condition, the current resultant, is proportional to the voltage applied, and that the proportionality constant, is called the resistance.

Now, we define electric current, as the passage of a number of charges over time.

In this case, we can say that each singly-ionized potassium ion carries the charge equivalent to the one electron, which is q = 1.6. 10⁻¹⁹ coulombs.

So, as we have 90,000 ions, we will have a total charge as follows:

Q =90.10³. 1.6.10⁻¹⁹ coulombs

Also, we are told that this charge will be moving for 1.1 msec, so we can find the current I as follows:

I = Q/t ⇒ I = 13.09. 10⁻¹² A.

If we know that R= 1.8.10⁹ Ω, we can determine V, applying Ohm's Law, as follows:

V = 13.09. 10⁻¹² A .  1.8.10⁹ Ω = 23.56 nV

a boy is standing 4 meter from a plane mirror how far and in what distance must te move so that he will be 4 meter from his imag
Alona [7]

Answer:

2 meters towards the mirror.

Explanation:

In a plane mirror the image distance is equal to the object distance. Therefore, by moving 2 meters towards the mirror, the boy reduces the distance between him and the mirror to two meters which is the object distance. The image distance is also 2 meters. add the two distances you will get four meters.

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

1. at least two charged interacting parts

2. from the electric fields of charged subatomic particles

3 an arrow released from the bow

4Electrical fields of charged particles interact, bonding those with opposite charges.

5 the interaction of the electric fields of protons and electrons

6 The energy stored in the system increases.

7 Kinetic energy increases because the magnets move in the direction of the field.

8 Iron pieces accelerate toward the magnet, and the energy stored in the system decreases.

9  

The energy stored in the field decreases because the magnet moves in the direction of the field.

10 The energy stored increases and then decreases.

11 The wire was not connected to the source.

12  The electromagnet will become more powerful.

the rest are written, hope this helps (:

Most oxygen in our atmosphere _____. has a single oxygen atom combines with carbon has two oxygen atoms has three oxygen atoms
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Two oxygen atoms

Explanation:

The majority of the oxygen in the air in our atmosphere consists of molecular oxygen (O_2), which consists of 2 atoms of oxygen, since free oxygen mainly form covalent bonds with other atoms of oxygen.

A small fraction of the oxygen, however, in the ozone form, which consists of 3 atoms of oxygen bond together (O_3).

When the wind kicks up dust and sand, the dust grains are charged. The small grains tend to get a negative charge, and the large
diamong [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Small grains are negatively charged by the wind while big grains is positively charged and remains at the ground . This process creates an electric field due to the presence of oppositely charged particles.

When ever electric field exists it is directed from a positive charge to a negative charge so the here electric field is towards an upwards direction.
