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).

Create the following matrix H:
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

a) {[1.25  1.5  1.75  2.5  2.75]

    [35  30  25  20  15]  }

b) {[1.5  2  40]

    [1.75  3  35]

    [2.25  2  25]

    [2.75  4  15]}

Explanation:

Matrix H: {[1.25  1.5  1.75  2  2.25  2.5  2.75]

                [1  2  3  1  2  3  4]

                [45  40  35  30  25  20  15]}

Its always important to get the dimensions of your matrix right. "Roman Columns" is the mental heuristic I use since a matrix is defined by its rows first and then its column such that a 2 X 5 matrix has 2 rows and 5 columns.

Next, it helps in the beginning to think of a matrix as a grid, labeling your rows  with letters (A, B, C, ...) and your columns with numbers (1, 2, 3, ...).

For question a, we just want to take the elements A1, A2, A3, A6 and A7 from matrix H and make that the first row of matrix G. And then we will take the elements B3, B4, B5, B6 and B7 from matrix H as our second row in matrix G.

For question b, we will be taking columns from matrix H and making them rows in our matrix K. The second column of H looks like this:

{[1.5]

[2]

[40]}

Transposing this column will make our first row of K look like this:

{[1.5  2  40]}

Repeating for columns 3, 5 and 7 will give us the final matrix K as seen above.

What is the acceleration if velocity increases from 10 m/s to 15m/s after travelling a distance of 5 metre​
Semenov [28]

Answer:

a=1.25m/s²

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA

vi=10m/s

vf=15m/s

S=5m

TO FIND

a=?

SOLUTION

by using third equation of motion

2as=(vf)²-(vi)²

2a(5m)=(15m/s)²-(10m/s)²

10m×a=225m²/s²-100m²/s²

10m×a=125m²/s²

a=\frac{125}{10}

a=12.5m/s²
