Which type of neuron is the fastest?
Which type of neuron is the fastest? Newsletter. 268 Speed (in miles per hour) at which signals travel along an alpha motor neuron in the spinal cord, the fastest such transmission in the human body. Sensory receptors in the skin, which lack the speed-boosting insulating layer called a myelin sheath, are among the slowest, at […]
What would be the acceleration if the force were doubled?
What would be the acceleration if the force were doubled? It means that if force is constant, as mass is increased, acceleration decreases. resistance to changes in motion (also known as INERTIA.) If the net force on an object is doubled, its acceleration will double If the mass of an object is doubled, the acceleration […]
Can sound waves bend?
Can sound waves bend? Sound waves do, indeed, bend. In an underwater thermal gradient the sonar waves can bend enough to create blind spots, so that you can not “see” a target that would ordinarily be well within sonar range. The other example is the difference in how well sound carries up/down wind. What is […]
What is the two main function of a diode?
What is the two main function of a diode? Main functions The most common function of a diode is to allow an electric current to pass in one direction (called the diode’s forward direction), while blocking it in the opposite direction (the reverse direction). As such, the diode can be viewed as an electronic version […]
How is the state of water determined?
How is the state of water determined? The number of bonds between molecules determines whether water will be a solid, liquid, or gas. In the solid state, water molecules have the maximum number of hydrogen bonds (4 per molecule), giving water the rigid characteristic of ice. What are three different states of water? Water can […]
Why Bubbles are not formed in water?
Why Bubbles are not formed in water? Atmospheric gases such as nitrogen and oxygen can dissolve in water. The amount of gas dissolved depends on the temperature of the water and the atmospheric pressure at the air/water interface. Hence bubbles along the insides of your water glass. Where do you think the bubbles came from? […]
What happens at an evidence hearing?
What happens at an evidence hearing? The preliminary hearing is like a mini-trial. The prosecution will call witnesses and introduce evidence, and the defense can cross-examine witnesses. If the judge concludes there is probable cause to believe the crime was committed by the defendant, a trial will soon be scheduled. How do you win a […]
Is phenolphthalein pink in acid?
Is phenolphthalein pink in acid? Phenolphthalein is often used as an indicator in acid–base titrations. For this application, it turns colorless in acidic solutions and pink in basic solutions. What is a scale used to describe how acidic or basic a solution is? pH. This is the scale used to describe how acidic or basic […]
What is the effect of the Gulf Stream of Europe?
What is the effect of the Gulf Stream of Europe? Since the Gulf Stream also extends toward Europe, it warms western European countries as well. In fact, England is about the same distance from the equator as cold regions of Canada, yet England enjoys a much warmer climate. If it weren’t for the warm water […]
