Explain the process of synaptic transmission, beginning with the neurotransmitters at the axon terminal of the presynaptic cell
nydimaria [60]

The synapse is actually the link between 2 neurons. Now when an action potential contacts the synaptic knob of a neuron, the voltage-gate calcium channels are unlocked, resulting in an influx of positively charged calcium ions into the cell. This makes the vesicles containing neurotransmitters, for example acetylcholine, to travel towards the pre-synaptic membrane. When the vesicle arrives at the membrane, the contents are released into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis. Neurotransmitters disperse across the space, down to its concentration gradient, up until it reaches the post-synaptic membrane, where it connects to the correct neuroreceptors. Connecting to the neuroreceptors results in depolarisation in the post-syanaptic neuron as voltage-gated sodium channels are also opened, and the positively charged sodium ions travel into the cell. When adequate neurotransmitters bind to neuroreceptors, the post-synaptic membrane overcame the threshold level of depolarisation and an action potential is made and the impulse is transmitted.

Since astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless, a clever method of measuring their masses is needed to monitor their mass g
djyliett [7]

Answer:

a) m = 69.0 kg

b) release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement

Explanation:

a) Let's use Newton's second law

         F = m a

         m = F / a

         m = 60.0 / 0.870

         m = 69.0 kg

b) when we exert a force on the astronaut it acquires a momentum po, as the astronaut system plus spacecraft is isolated, the momentum is conserved

         p₀ = p_f

         m v = M v '

         v ’= \frac{m}{M} \ v

so we see that the ship is moving backwards, but since the mass of the ship is much greater than the mass of the astronaut, the speed of the ship is very small.

One method to avoid this effect is to release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement so that the initial momentum of the astronaut plus the gas is zero and therefore no movement is created in the spacecraft.

What is the distance a truck can travel if it moves 7 m/s for 20 seconds?
artcher [175]

if it moves 7m/s, that means every second it goes 7m.  Now we just multiply by the time (20 seconds) and end up with 140m.
