Answer:
The human body contains certain elements such sodium, potassium, calcium, chlorine, and magnesium which possess specific electrical charges. These charged particles, called ions are obtained in our diet and are used by the body to generate electrical signals through their flow in and out of the cells.
Explanation:
The human body contains certain elements such sodium, potassium, calcium, chlorine, and magnesium which possess specific electrical charges. These charged particles, called ions are obtained in our diet and are used by the body to generate electricity by allowing them in or out of the cells. Thus, the flow of these ions through the body is the source of electricity in our bodies.
The cell membrane acts as a barrier separating these charges inside and outside the cells. Resting cells are negatively charged on the inside, while the outside environment is more positively charged. This is due to a difference in concentration between positive ions e.g. Na⁺ and K⁺ , and negative ions e.g. Cl⁻, inside and outside the cell. This separation of charges sets up a potential difference across the membrane known as membrane potential.
The flow of ions in and out of the cell is regulated by special proteins called ion channels. When impulse is received from the brain or other sensory receptors, positive charges flow into the cell through open ion channels in a process known as depolarization of the cell membrane. The depolarization of the cell triggers further electrical currents that can turn into electrical pulses, called action potentials. These action potentials occur at nerves and muscle (neuromuscular) junctions and are responsible for the different external responses we give to stimulus, like blinking of the eye, muscle contractions, heartbeats as well thought processes etc. Certain hormones and chemicals known as neurotransmitters are also involved in this process e.g. epinephrine, norepinephrine.
Explain briefly the first aid measure that should be taken incase of poisoning

Radio waves can bend around buildings. An X-ray technician stands behind a wall during the use of her machine. What does this tell you about the relative wavelengths of these two types of invisible light?
Answer:
Radio waves have a wavelength between [tex]10^{-9}m[/tex] and [tex]10^{-12}m[/tex]
While,
X rays have a wavelength between 1m and 10km.
=> It is one of the condition of diffraction that the obstacle (coming in the way) must be comparable with the size of the wavelength.
=> This shows, that radio waves have a wavelength which is comparable with the size of buildings and can really easily diffract through it
=> While, X-rays are big enough to diffract through the wall.
So, if an X-ray technician stands behind a wall during the use of her machine, she will remain safe.
A block of mass m is placed on a smooth wedge of inclination θ . The whole system is accelerated horizontally so that the block does not slip on the wedge. The force exerted by the wedge on the block has a magnitude: (A) mg tan θ (B) mg sin θ (C) mg cos θ (D) mg sec θ
Answer: mg/Cosθ
Explanation:
Taking horizontal acceleration of wedge as 'a'
FCosΘ = FsinΘ
F = mass(m) × acceleration(a) = ma
For horizontal resolution g = 0
Therefore,
Horizontal = Vertical
maCosΘ = mgSinΘ
aCosΘ = gSinΘ
a = gSinΘ/CosΘ
Recall from trigonometry :
SinΘ/Cosθ = tanΘ
Therefore,
a = gtanΘ
Normal force acing on the wedge:
mgCosΘ + maSinΘ - - - - (y)
Substitute a = gtanΘ into (y)
mgCosΘ + mgtanΘsinΘ
tanΘ = sinΘ/cosΘ
mgCosΘ + mgsinΘ/cosΘsinΘ
mgCosΘ + mgsin^2Θ/cosΘ
Factorizing
mg(Cosθ + sin^2Θ/cosΘ)
Taking the L. C. M
mg[(Cos^2θ + sin^2Θ) /Cosθ]
Recall: Cos^2θ + sin^2Θ = 1
mg[ 1 /Cosθ]
mg/Cosθ

A 20.0 cm tall object is placed 50.0 cm in front of a convex mirror with a radius of curvature of 34.0 cm. Where will the image be located, and how tall will it be? Please show all work.
Answer:
i = -12.7 cm; h = 5.07 cm
Explanation:
1. Find the focal length
The focal length of a concave spherical mirror is half of its radius of curvature.
f = ½r = ½ × 34.0 cm = 17.0 cm
2. Find the image distance
A convex mirror produces a virtual image behind the mirror, so the image distance is negative.
[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{1}{o} + \dfrac{1 }{i} & = & \dfrac{1}{f}\\\\\dfrac{1}{50.0} + \dfrac{1 }{i} & = & \dfrac{1}{-17.0}\\\\\dfrac{1}{i} & = & \dfrac{1}{-17.0} - \dfrac{1}{50.0}\\\\& = & \dfrac{50.0 - (-17.0)}{500\times(-17.0)}\\\\& = & \dfrac{67.0}{-850}\\\\i & = & \dfrac{-850}{67.0}\\\\& = & \textbf{-12.7 cm}\\\end{array}[/tex]

A 1500 kg car on flat ground is
moving 5.25 m/s. Its engine
creates a 1250 N forward force as the car moves 42.8 m. What is its final velocity?
Answer: 5.96m/s
Explanation:
Given the following :
Mass of car (m) = 1500kg
Velocity (V) = 5.25m/s
Forward force of engine = 1250N
Diatance moved = 4.8m
Final Velocity =?
Final kinetic energy = Initial kinetic energy + work done by engine
Initial kinetic energy = 0.5 × mass × velocity^2
Initial kinetic energy = 0.5 × 1500 × 5.25^2
Initial kinetic energy = 20671.875 J
Work done by engine = Force × distance
Work done by engine = 1250 × 4.8 = 6000J
Final kinetic energy = (20671.875 + 6000) J
= 26671.875 J
From kinetic energy = 0.5mv^2
26671.875 = 1/2 × 1500 × v^2
53343.75 = 1500v^2
v^2 = 35.5625
v = sqrt(35.5625)
v = 5.96m/s

The estimated distance of the earth from the sun is 149000000km. The speed of the light is 300000km/s. What is the time taken for the light to travel from the sun to the earth
Answer:
The time taken for the light to travel from the earth to the sun = 496.67 seconds
Explanation:
Estimated distance of the earth to the sun = 149000000km
Speed of light = 300000km/s
Time taken for the light to travel from the sun to the earth = ?
Speed = Distance/time
time = Distance/speed
time = 149000000/300000
time = 496.67 s
The time taken for the light to travel from the earth to the sun = 496.67 seconds
A transformer has 500 turns of the primary winding and 10 turns of the secondary winding. a) Determine the secondary voltage if the secondary circuit is open and the primary voltage is 120 V
Answer:
First we use the fact that the ratio of the voltage on the secondary and on the primary will be the same as the ratio of the number of turns of both coils,
u=u^2/U^1 = N^2/N^1
we evaluate the unkown secondary voltage
u^ 2=N^2/N^1 u1
We substitute the given values -
u^2= 10/500 * 120v = 2.4v
Hence, the answer is 2.4v.

27) 500 N
Explanation:
26.a) In a two pulley system, the load is attached to one of the pulleys. The other pulley is attached to a fixed surface, as well as one end of the rope. The other end of the rope goes around moving pulley, then around the fixed pulley.
26.b) Mechanical advantage is the ratio between the forces:
MA = load force / effort force
Efficiency is the ratio between the work:
e = work done on load / work done by effort
Work is force times distance.
e = (F load × d load) / (F effort × d effort)
Rearranging:
e = (F load / F effort) × (d load / d effort)
e = MA × (d load / d effort)
In a two pulley system, the load moves half the distance of the effort. So the efficiency is:
e = (4/3) × (1/2)
e = 2/3
e = 66.7%
27) In a three pulley system, the load moves a third of the distance of the effort.
e = (F load / F effort) × (d load / d effort)
0.40 = (600 N / F) × (1/3)
F = 500 N

Supriya has a pre-paid electricity connection at home. On a sultry Sunday afternoon, she checks that she only has ₹9 left in the balance. She wants to use the air conditioner (AC), rated at 1.2 kW. The price of electricity is ₹10 /unit in her area. How long can she run the AC before her balance is over and the power runs out?
Answer: 0.75 hour(s) or 45 minutes
Explanation:
1 unit of electricity = 1kwh
Amount of energy consumed by 1kw load in one hour
Price per unit = ₹10
Air conditioner rating(power) = 1.2Kw
Given that balance = ₹9
Therefore, supriya's total energy cost = energy balance = ₹9
Total energy cost = power in kilowatt × time of operation (in hour) × cost per unit
₹9 = 1.2kw × time × ₹10
₹9 = 12 × time
Time = 9 / 12
Time = 0.75 hours
0.75 × 60 = 45 minutes

The tip of second's hand of a clock take 60 seconds to to move once on the circular dial of the clock. If the radius of the dial of the clock be 10.5 cm, calculate the speed of the tip of the second's hand of the clock.
Answer:
( About ) 1.1 cm / s
Explanation:
We know that the time it takes the clock's second hand to move is 60 seconds. Respectively the radius of this clock is given to be 10.5 centimeters.
_______________________________________________________
Let us apply the formula speed = distance traveled / time. Here the " distance traveled " is the circumference of the clock, or 2πr - where we can pose π as 3.14. In other words, Speed = 2πr / time. Substitute known values to solve for the Speed,
S = 2 * 3.14 * 10.5 / 60,
Speed = ( About ) 1.1 cm / s

Question: A swimmer has a swimming speed of 5.75 m/s in still water. When she
heads directly across the river, she ends up travelling downstream at an angle of 40°
(with respect to a line perpendicular to the shore).
(a) What is the speed of the current?
(b) What heading would the swimmer need to have in order to reach a point directly
across the river?
(c) If the river is 15 m wide, how long would a trip directly across the river take?
Answer:
(a) 4.82 m/s
(b) The simmer need to head 57.05° upstream of the river to reach a point directly opposite the river
(c) 4.024 seconds
Explanation:
The parameters given are;
The speed of the swimmer = 5.75 m/s
The direction of the resultant motion = 40° downstream
The speed of the current = x m/s
Therefore in a given second, we have that the swimmer moves 5.75 meters across the river while the current moves x meters downstream
Which gives;
[tex]tan(40^{\circ}) = \dfrac{x}{5.75}[/tex]
x = 5.75 × tan(40°) = 4.82 m/s
The speed of the current = 4.82 m/s
(b) If the swimmer swims at a direction θ to reach a point, p, directly opposite the river, we have;
The resultant speed across the river will be the swimmer's swimming speed which is 5.75 m/s
5.75² = y² + 4.82²
y = √(5.75² - 4.82²) = √9.78
tan(θ) = 4.82/(√9.78) = 1.54
θ = tan⁻¹(1.54) = 57.05°
The simmer need to swim 57.05° upstream to reach a point directly opposite the river
(c) If the river is 15 m wide, we have;
Time (t) = Distance/speed
The component of the swimmer's speed directly across the river = 5.75/(tan(57.05°)
The component of the swimmer's speed directly across the river = 3.73 m/s
The time, t, to cross the river is therefore;
t = 15/3.73 = 4.024 seconds
A boat travels at 15 m/s in a direction 45° east of north for an hour. The boat then turns and travels at 18 m/s in a direction 5° north of east for an hour.
What is the magnitude of the boat’s resultant velocity? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
16 m/s
Explanation:
First, find the displacement in the east direction.
x = (15 m/s sin 45°) (3600 s) + (18 m/s cos 5°) (3600 s)
x = 102,737 m
Next, find the displacement in the north direction.
y = (15 m/s cos 45°) (3600 s) + (18 m/s sin 5°) (3600 s)
y = 43,831 m
Find the magnitude of the displacement.
d = √(x² + y²)
d = √((102,737 m)² + (43,831 m)²)
d = 111,697 m
Finally, find the resultant velocity.
v = d / t
v = (111,697 m) / (7200 s)
v = 15.5 m/s
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the resultant velocity is 16 m/s.

If you double the amplitude of a box on a spring, how would that affect the acceleration at maximum displacement?
The acceleration would double.
The acceleration would remain the same.
The acceleration would triple.
The acceleration would be cut in 1/2.
Answer:
The acceleration would double
Explanation:
Assuming the same box and spring, the maximum acceleration is proportional to amplitude. When the amplitude doubles, the acceleration would double.
__
A spring is generally considered to have a linear force vs. distance characteristic. Hence, doubling the distance doubles the force. The acceleration is proportional to the force.
