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.
Answer:
η = 58.8%
Explanation:
Work is defined as the force applied by the distance traveled by the body.
where:
W = work [J] (units of joules)
F = force = 294 [N]
d = distance = 5 [m]
![W = 294*5\\W = 1470 [J]\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=W%20%3D%20294%2A5%5C%5CW%20%3D%201470%20%5BJ%5D%5C%5C)
Efficiency is defined as the energy required to perform an activity in relation to the energy actually added to perform some activity. This can be better understood by means of the following equation.
Answer:
Approximately 
.
Explanation:
The average speed of a vehicle is calculated as:
.
In this question, the total distance is 
.
The unit of the speeds in this question is meters per second, while the unit of distance is kilometers. Convert the unit of distance to meters:
.
.
Time required for the first part of this trip:
.
Time required for the second part of this trip:
.
The time required for the entire trip would be approximately 
.
Calculate the average speed of this plane:
.
The feel of weight comes due to the normal reaction force given by the support. Hence, the condition of weightlessness is when the normal reaction force becomes zero. So, during free fall there is no support which can provide the normal reaction. Hence, the bungee jumper feels weightless as she falls towards the earth because of the lack of support force that balances gravity.
Hence, the answer is 3.
