serg [2593]

Answer:

B= \sqrt{65} ≅8.06

Explanation:

Applying the Pythagorean theorem:

C^{2}= A^{2} + B^{2}

Here, C denotes the hypotenuse length, while A and B signify the lengths of the other two sides of the triangle. We can calculate B's length knowing the hypotenuse is 9 and A is 4.

9^{2}=4^{2} + B^{2}

81= 16+ B^{2}

81-16= B^{2}

B= \sqrt{65} ≅8.06

A rocket lifts off the pad at cape canaveral. according to newton's law of gravitation, the force of gravity on the rocket is gi
kicyunya [2264]
The formula used is known as the Law of Universal Gravitation. The gravitational constant G is 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg². The Earth's mass is <span>5.972 ×10</span>²⁴ kg. The mass of the rocket is negligible in comparison to Earth’s mass, hence it is unnecessary for our calculations. Plugging in the values:

F = (6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²)(5.972 ×10²⁴ kg)/(4000 miles*(1.609 km/1 mile))²
F = 9616423.08 N

The work done is given by
W = Fd
W = (9616423.08 N)(2000 miles*1.609 km/mile)
W = 9.095×10¹⁰ Joules

Which of the following is (are) true of ligand-gated ion channels?
Ostrovityanka [2204]

Answer:

The properties of ligand-gated ion channels include:

a. They play a crucial role in the nervous system by altering sodium and calcium levels within cells.  

b. Their significance is primarily linked to the nervous system.

c. They are vital for the nervous system, responsible for modulating sodium and calcium levels in cells, and they respond to chemical signals by either opening or closing.

Explanation:

Ligand-gated ion channels (LICs or LGICs), often called ionotropic receptors, represent a class of trans-membrane ion-channel proteins that open to permit the flow of ions like Na+, K+, Ca2+, and/or Cl− across membranes in reaction to the binding of chemical signals. Their function contrasts with that of voltage-gated ion channels, which are triggered by changes in voltage across membranes (i.e., when depolarization occurs) and are responsive to membrane potentials. In comparison to GPCRs that utilize secondary messengers, ligand-gated channels operate upon the binding of a ligand (a specific chemical signal). Both types of channels are essential for the effective activation of the post-synaptic neuron.

A student observes that for the same net force heavier objects accelerate less which statement describes the correct conclusion?
inna [2205]

Answer: Reduced acceleration leads to an increase in mass.

Explanation:

We can rephrase this as:

"When a constant force F is applied, heavier objects experience less acceleration"

As a result, when mass rises, the object's acceleration diminishes.

This is referred to as an inverse correlation between acceleration and mass.

According to Newton's second law, we find that:

F = m*a

Force equals mass multiplied by acceleration.

So, if the force remains constant, we can express it as:

a = F/m.

In this equation, we observe that if acceleration decreases and F stays constant, then the mass m must also rise (as it is found in the denominator)

Therefore, the accurate statement is:

A decrease in acceleration causes the mass to increase.

Maru [2337]

Answer:

4.05 m/s

Explanation:

We will express the varying velocities as vectors.

Newton moves northward at 3.90 m/s from Daniel's stationary position.

V_n = 3.9 j

Assuming Pauli runs relative to Daniel at velocity X.

The relative velocity of Newton as seen by Pauli will be

3.9 j - X

Given that

the relative velocity of Newton with respect to moving Pauli = 1.1 i (1.1 towards the east).

Thus,

3.9 j - X = 1.1 i

X = -1.1 i + 3.9 j.

Magnitude of X

X² = 1.1² + 3.9²

X = 4.05 m/s

Therefore, Pauli runs relative to Daniel at 4.05 m/s.

The direction will be west of north at an angle θ,

Tan θ = 1.1 / 3.9
