Answer: The answer is B- Diffusion of calcium ions through NMDA receptors.

Explanation:

Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a painful sensation experienced after the loss or amputation of a limb. The limb is no longer there but the individual can still feel real and severe pains in the limb. This occurs soon after surgery.

NMDA is a receptor for Glutamate which is an excitatory neurotransmitter. The activation of NMDA receptors are associated with hyperalgesia which is an abnormally heightened sensitivity to pain.

Find the kinetic energy of a ball moving at 45 m/s with a mass of 0.18kg
mamaluj [8]

Answer:182.25 joules

Explanation:

Mass=0.18kg

Velocity=45m/s

Kinetic energy=(mass x(velocity)^2)➗2

Kinetic energy=(0.18 x 45^2) ➗ 2

Kinetic energy=(0.18x45x45) ➗ 2

Kinetic energy=364.5 ➗ 2

Kinetic energy=182.25

Kinetic energy=182.25 joules
