Astronaut X of mass 50kg floats next to Astronaut Y of mass 100kg while in space, as shown in the figure. The positive direction

is shown. Astronaut X applies a force against Astronaut Y such that the kinetic energy of each astronaut as a function of time is shown in the graph. What is the change in momentum of the two-astronaut system and the change in momentum of each astronaut from immediately before the force was applied to immediately after the force was applied?

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The change in momentum of x has to be the opposite of the change in momentum of Y because the momentum is just transferred from one to another. But I'm still trying to figure it out how to calculate.

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.

What happens when multiple forces act upon an object?
Bogdan [553]
The object will move if the forces are unbalanced.

Newtons second tells you that when a net force (the unbalanced force) is applied to and object it will produce an acceleration (movement) in direct proportion to the force and in inverse proportion to the mass of the object.

A glass flask whose volume is 1000 cm^3 at a temperature of 1.00°C is completely filled with mercury at the same temperature. W
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

the coefficient of volume expansion of the glass is \mathbf{  ( \beta_{glass} )= 1.333 *10^{-5} / K}

Explanation:

Given that:

Initial volume of the glass flask = 1000 cm³ = 10⁻³ m³

temperature of the glass flask and mercury= 1.00° C

After heat is applied ; the final temperature = 52.00° C

Temperature change ΔT = 52.00° C - 1.00° C = 51.00° C

Volume of the mercury overflow = 8.50 cm^3 = 8.50 ×  10⁻⁶ m³

the coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is 1.80 × 10⁻⁴ / K

The increase in the volume of the mercury =  10⁻³ m³ ×  51.00 × 1.80 × 10⁻⁴

The increase in the volume of the mercury = 9.18*10^{-6} \ m^3

Increase in volume of the glass =  10⁻³ × 51.00 × \beta _{glass}

Now; the mercury overflow = Increase in volume of the mercury - increase in the volume of the flask

the mercury overflow = (9.18*10^{-6}  -  51.00* \beta_{glass}*10^{-3})\ m^3

8.50*10^{-6} = (9.18*10^{-6}  -51.00* \beta_{glass}* 10^{-3} )\ m^3

8.50*10^{-6} - 9.18*10^{-6} = ( -51.00* \beta_{glass}* 10^{-3} )\ m^3

-6.8*10^{-7} =  ( -51.00* \beta_{glass}* 10^{-3} )\ m^3

6.8*10^{-7} =  ( 51.00* \beta_{glass}* 10^{-3} )\ m^3

\dfrac{6.8*10^{-7}}{51.00 * 10^{-3}}=  ( \beta_{glass} )

\mathbf{  ( \beta_{glass} )= 1.333 *10^{-5} / K}

Thus; the coefficient of volume expansion of the glass is \mathbf{  ( \beta_{glass} )= 1.333 *10^{-5} / K}
