Answer: Resting Membrane Potential

Explanation:

The <u>resting membrane potential</u> refers to the difference in voltage between the inside and outside of the cell membrane when the cell is at physiological rest. It should be noted that <u>the cell membrane is a selective semipermeable barrier, which only allows the transit through it of certain molecules and prevents the transit of others. </u>

This selectivity causes an uneven distribution of charged particles (ions), as the membrane only accepts some types of ions.

Now, in the case of neurons, which are electrically excitable nerve cells; the transport of electrical signals is due to these changes in the permeability and asymmetric distribution of ions (mainly sodium and potassium) when the neuron is not excited (at rest).

A 0.4000 kg sample of methanol at 16.0ºC is mixed with 0.4000 kg of water at 85.0ºC. Assuming no heat loss to the surroundings,
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

T_finalmix = 59.5 [°C].

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, a thermal balance must be performed, where the heat is transferred from water to methanol, at the end the temperature of the water and methanol must be equal once the thermal balance is achieved.

Q_{water}=Q_{methanol}

where:

Q_{water}=m_{water}*Cp_{water}*(T_{waterinitial}-T_{final})

mwater = mass of the water = 0.4 [kg]

Cp_water = specific heat of the water = 4180 [J/kg*°C]

T_waterinitial = initial temperature of the water = 85 [°C]

T_finalmix = final temperature of the mix [°C]

Q_{methanol}=m_{methanol}*Cp_{methanol}*(T_{final}-T_{initialmethanol})

Now replacing:

0.4*4180*(85-T_{final})=0.4*2450*(T_{final}-16)\\142120-1672*T_{final}=980*T_{final}-15680\\157800=2652*T_{final}\\T_{final}=59.5[C]

A hi-lo lifts an 25 N skid to top of a pallet rack. The pallet rack is 3.6 meters tall. The hi-lo takes 12 seconds to get the sk
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

7.5Watts

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force of lift  = 25N

Height  = 3.6m

Time  = 12s

Unknown:

Power output  = ?

Solution:

Power is the rate at which work is done ;

     Power  = \frac{force x height }{time}  

   Power  = \frac{25 x 3.6}{12}    = 7.5Watts

Newton’s second law of motion can also be described as _____.
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

F=ma

Explanation:

The Newton's laws of motion tries to explain the how bodies behave and the energy changes when theys are in motion. For the 3 of them to hold, the bodies must be moving in a straight line and with constant velocity.

The second one states that, "the change of momentum of a moving body is directly proportional to the force producing it and it takes place to the direction of force."

From the choices given, the appropriate answer is F=ma
