Answer:

A basic quantity is basically the physical quantity that can not be defined in terms of other quantities.

Explanation:

A basic quantity is basically the physical quantity that can not be defined in terms of other quantities.

Some of the names of the basic quantities include:

Mass, denoted by the symbol 'm', with S.I. unit 'kg'
Length, denoted by symbol 'l', with S.I. unit 'm'
Time, denoted by symbol 't', with S.I. unit 's'
Current, denoted by 'I', with S.I. unit 's' 'A'
Temperature, denoted by 'T', with S.I. unit 'K'
Amount of substance, denoted by 'n', with S.I. unit 'mol'
Luminous Intensity, denoted by 'Iv', with S.I. unit 'cd'

A basic quantity is chosen arbitrarily.

A bicycle racer rides from a starting marker to a turnaround marker at 10 m/s. She then rides back along the same route from the

vitfil [10]

Answer:

12.31 m/s

Explanation:

If we recall from the previous knowledge we had about speed,

we will know that:

speed = distance/ time.

As such:

The average speed of the rider bicycle is

average speed = total distance/ total time

Mathematically, it can be computed as:

$v_{avg} = \dfrac{d+d}{\dfrac{d}{v_1}+ \dfrac{d}{v_2}}$

$v_{avg} = \dfrac{2d}{\dfrac{d}{10 \ m/s}+ \dfrac{d}{16 \ m/s}}$

$v_{avg} = \dfrac{2}{\dfrac{1}{10 \ m/s}+ \dfrac{1}{16 \ m/s}}$

$v_{avg} = \dfrac{2}{\dfrac{13}{80 \ m/s}}$

$\mathbf{v_{avg} =12.31 \ m/s}$

A cord is used to vertically lower an initially stationary block of mass M = 3.6 kg at a constant downward acceleration of g/7.

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

(a) $W_c=127.008 J$

(b) $W_g=148.176 J$

(c) K.E. = 21.168 J

(d) $v=3.4293m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of a block, M = 3.6 kg

initial velocity of the block, $u=0 m.s^{-1}$

constant downward acceleration, $a_d= \frac{g}{7}$

$\Rightarrow$ That a constant upward acceleration of $\frac{6g}{7}$ is applied in the presence of gravity.

∴ $a=- \frac{6g}{7}$

height through which the block falls, d = 4.2 m

(a)

Force by the cord on the block,

$F_c= M\times a$

$F_c=3.6\times (-6)\times\frac{9.8}{7}$

$F_c=-30.24 N$

∴Work by the cord on the block,

$W_c= F_c\times d$

$W_c= -30.24\times 4.2$

We take -ve sign because the direction of force and the displacement are opposite to each other.

$W_c=-127.008 J$

(b)

Force on the block due to gravity:

$F_g= M.g$

∵the gravity is naturally a constant and we cannot change it

$F_g=3.6\times 9.8$

$F_g=35.28 N$

∴Work by the gravity on the block,

$W_g=F_g\times d$

$W_g=35.28\times 4.2$

$W_g=148.176 J$

(c)

Kinetic energy of the block will be equal to the net work done i.e. sum of the two works.

mathematically:

$K.E.= W_g+W_c$

$K.E.=148.176-127.008$

K.E. = 21.168 J

(d)

From the equation of motion:

$v^2=u^2+2a_d\times d$

putting the respective values:

$v=\sqrt{0^2+2\times \frac{9.8}{7}\times 4.2 }$

$v=3.4293m.s^{-1}$ is the speed when the block has fallen 4.2 meters.

Solve for the BMI weight 58kg Height 1.61

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

BMI= weight/(height × height) ; weight in kilogram and height in metter

= 58kg / (1.61m × 1.61m )

= (58/ 2.5921) kg/ $m^{2}$

= 22.375 kg/ $m^{2}$

≈ 22.4 kg/ $m^{2}$

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.
