Fizeau’s method for measuring the speed of light using a rotating toothed wheel. The speed of rotation of the wheel controls wha

t an observer sees. For example, if the light passing the opening at point A should return at the instant that tooth B had rotated into position to cover the return path, the light would not reach the observer. At a faster rate of rotation, the opening at point C could move into position to allow the reflected beam to reach the observer. Toothed Wheel Mirror A B C d Calculate the minimum angular speed of the wheel for light that passed through opening A to return through opening C to reach the observer. In an experiment to measure the speed of light using the apparatus of Fizeau, the distance between the toothed wheel and mirror was 10.72 km and the wheel had 671 notches. The experimentally determined value of c was 2.908 × 108 m/s . Answer in units of rad/s.

Answer:

The minimum angular speed, w is 126.94 rad/s

Explanation:

Given:

C = 2.908×10⁸ m/s

d = 10.72 km ⇒ 10.72×10³ m

There are 671 notches

⇒ Δθ = \frac{2\pi}{671} ==> 9.359×10⁻³ rad

C = 2d / Δt    ⇒    Δt = 2d/C

⇒

w = Δθ / Δt = CΔθ / 2d

substitute for given parameters

w = [2.908×10⁸×9.359×10⁻³] / [2×10.72×10³]

   = 27.215972×10⁵ / 21.44×10³

   = 1.2694×10²

w ⇒ 126.94 rad/s

Voltage-regulated channels can be found a. at the motor end plate. b. on the surfaces of dendrites. c. in the membrane that cove
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Option C

In the membrane that covers axons

Explanation:

Voltage-regulated channels allow for selective passage of different beneficial ions such as potassium and are  found on the surface of a wide variety of cells such as nerve, muscle, and secretory cells. They mainly regulate cell membrane excitability, repetitive low frequency firing in some neurons, and recover the nerve fiber membrane.

Answer:

Kitchen sinks can be clogged for a few reasons, food hair, and other things. Overtime, buildup of these things lead to clogging.

A few methods to fix clogging are, baking soda mixture, plunging, and boiling water.

The first method, baking soda mixture, what you do is you pour a cup of baking soda and vinegar down the drain, and place a rubber stopper to cover the drain opening. Wait 10 or more minutes, and take out the stopper, and run hot tap water until it's unclogged.

The second method is plunging. Make sure the sink has enough water to submerge the plunger, and start plunging. While you are plunging, maintain a good seal to get the best results. This usually works, but sometimes it doesn't.

The last method is boiling water. Pour boiling water into the drain, then after a while, the clogged drain should unclog, if it doesn't repeat the process until necessary.
