The temperature of a substance is 45 C. Convert this to Kelvin.

Describe the electrical and chemical changes that lead to an action potential. Define myelin and discuss its effects.

solniwko [45]

Answer:

The outside of a neuron has more sodium ions while at resting state. When a electrical signal is going to pass through, the sodium channels open up first and the positive sodium ions rush inward making the inner side more positive. This is called action potential.

There is layer of fatty substances called as Myelin Sheath over the course of axons. It helps the electrical signal to be transmitted with a fast pace and efficiently over the course.

One of the most important properties of materials in many applications is strength. Two of the qualitative measures of the stren

katrin2010 [14]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to Tensile Strength and Shear Strenght.

In Materials Mechanics, generally the bodies under certain loads are subject to both Tensile and shear strenghts.

By definition we know that the tensile strength is defined as

$\sigma = \frac{F}{A}$

Where,

$\sigma =$ Tensile strength

F = Tensile Force

A = Cross-sectional Area

In the other hand we have that the shear strength is defined as

$\sigma_y = \frac{F_y}{A}$

where,

$\sigma_y =$ Shear strength

$F_y =$ Shear Force

$A_0 =$ Parallel Area

PART A) Replacing with our values in the equation of tensile strenght, then

$311*10^6 = \frac{F}{(15*10^{-6})(30*10^{-2})}$

Resolving for F,

$F= 1399.5N$

PART B) We need here to apply the shear strength equation, then

$\sigma_y = \frac{F_y}{A}$

$210*10^6 = \frac{F_y}{15*10^{-6}30*10^{-2}}$

$F_y = 945N$

In such a way that the material is more resistant to tensile strength than shear force.

Net force of 8.0 N acts on an 18 kg body for one minute. Determine the impulse due to the force.

boyakko [2]

Answer:

p = FΔt = 8.0 N(60 s) = 480 N•s

Explanation:

not asked for, but in that time a frictionless 18 kg mass on a horizontal surface will have change velocity by 480/18 = 26.7 m/s.

An impulse results in a change of momentum.

Plane a travels at 900km/h and plane b travels at 250/5.which plane travels faster

vesna_86 [32]

Explanation:

We have,

Speed of plane a is 900 km/h

Plane b is moving at a rate of $\dfrac{250\ km}{5\ h}=50\ km/h$

It is required to find which plane is faster. To find which plane is faster, we need to compare their speeds.

Speed of a plane a is 900 km/h and that of plane b is 50 km/h. So, we can say that plane a is moving faster.
