Define neuron and nerve<br>cell​
san4es73 [151]

Answer: Hi!

A neuron is a basic working unit of the brain. Neurons are special cells designed to transfer information to other nerve, muscle, or gland cells. They are pretty cool - looking too! (A slightly irregular circular shape with branches reaching out from all sides.) A neuron is a nerve cell. Nerve cells are the way of communication in the nervous system.

Hope this helps!

A roller coaster travels around a vertical 8-m radius loop. Determine the speed at the top of the loop if the normal force exert
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

v=10m/sec

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Radius of vertical r= 8m

Force exerted by passengers is 1/4 of weight

Generally the net force acting on top of the roller coaster is give to be

F_N+Fg

where

F_N =forceof the normal

Fg= force due to gravity

Generally the net force is given to be FC(force towards center)

F_C =F_N + Fg

F_N =F_C -Fg

F_N=F_C-F_g

F_N=\frac{mv^2}{R} -mg

Mathematical we can now derive V

m_g + \frac{8m}{4}= \frac{mv^2}{8}

\frac{5mg}{4} =\frac{mv^2}{8}

v^2 =\frac{40*10}{4}

v=10m/sec

Therefore the speed of the roller coaster is given ton be v=10m/sec

After an incandescent lamp is turned on, the temperature of its filament rapidly increases from room temperature to its operatin
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: (1) The resistance increases and the current decreases.

Explanation:  

When the temperature of the filament increases, the vibrational energy of the constituent atoms increases which leads to increase in inter-atomic collision. Thus, the resistance would increase. The increases in resistance would obstruct the flow of charges more leading to decrease in the value of the current.

Hence, when the temperature of the filament increase, the resistance increases and current decreases.

How are the mass and weight of an object related? Include a description with words and an equation.
nikdorinn [45]
The weight is the force experienced, whereas the mass represents the actual quantity of matter inside a body..
weigh on the surface of the earth is equal to mg
mass is m
and at the centre weight is 0 due to 0 acceleration that's 0 g
but mass is always constant and remains m, no matter where you are

Momentum for a system can be conserved in one direction while not being conserved in another. What is the anglebetween the direc
katrin [286]

Answer:

90°

Explanation:

The angle will be 90° when momentum for a system can be conserved in one direction while not being conserved in another.

The example can be

If we apply force on an object horizontally in west direction, then as in other direction south or north we cannot apply the principal of momentum conservation.
