Answer:

Purkinje Fiber

Explanation:

In normal circumstances, the SA(sinoatrial) node the heart natural pacemaker, produces electrical activity automatically. This electrical impulse is transmitted across the whole right atrium and into the bundle of Bachmann to the left atrium, arousing the atria's myocardium to contract. And the part through which the electrical impulse travel most rapidly is called Purkrnje fibers, which is a specialized conducting fiber consisting of electrically excitable cells and these conduct cardiac action potentials more quickly and efficiently than any other cells in the heart.

How would the attractive force between two spheres change if the mass of one sphere was doubled?

Dominik [7]

The force of attraction between two objects can be illustrated using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.
The relation between the different parameters is shown in the attached image.

Now, from the relation, we can deduce that the force between the two objects is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects.

This means that, if the mass of one object is doubled, then the force between the two objects will also be doubled.

A hockey stick of mass ms and length L is at rest on the ice (which is assumed to be frictionless). A puck with mass mp hits the

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

L = mp*v₀*(ms*D) / (ms + mp)

Explanation:

Given info

ms = mass of the hockey stick

uis = 0 (initial speed of the hockey stick before the collision)

xis = D (initial position of center of mass of the hockey stick before the collision)

mp = mass of the puck

uip = v₀ (initial speed of the puck before the collision)

xip = 0 (initial position of center of mass of the puck before the collision)

If we apply

Ycm = (ms*xis + mp*xip) / (ms + mp)

⇒ Ycm = (ms*D + mp*0) / (ms + mp)

⇒ Ycm = (ms*D) / (ms + mp)

Now, we can apply the equation

L = m*v*R

where m = mp

v = v₀

R = Ycm

then we have

L = mp*v₀*(ms*D) / (ms + mp)

Answer:

The electromagnetic waves appear more blue in color.

Explanation:

Doppler's Effect: When a source moves with respect to the observer the frequency of the wave emitted from the source changes. If the source moves away from the observer, the frequency decreases and wavelength increases and vice versa.

Here the light source is moving towards the observer so the frequency will increase and wavelength will decrease. Thus the spectrum will shift towards the blue part. This is known as blue shift. The light wave will appear blue in color.
