The process of detecting the input and a quick response to it is called (a) impulse (b) action (c) sensation (d) reflex arc |
|
Answer» (d) A reflex arc is the neural pathway that mediates a reflex action. In higher animals, most sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain, but synapse in the spinal cord. This characteristic allows reflex actions to occur relatively quickly by activating spinal motor neurons without the delay of routing signals through the brain, although the brain will receive sensory input while the reflex action occurs. |

Explain how a man can comfortably lay on a bed of nails? |
|
Answer» When a force acts over a large area of an object, it produces a small pressure. But if the same force acts over a large area of an object, it produces a large pressure. The force produced by the man's weight is distributed over hundreds of nails of the nail bed. Therefore, the force applied by individual nail is reduced. As a result the force per unit area at the tip of each nail is less than that required for the nail to pierce into the skin. This implies to all the nails in contact with the man’s body. The nails do not penetrate in the man’s skin and he does not get hurt. Thus, a person can lie on a bed of nails if there are very large number of nails. |

A string of twenty 15 Ω Christmas tree lights is used for a party. One burns out, they all burns out. Calculate the resistance Also what will be the current flowing through it if 150 V battery is used.(2) |
|
Answer» total resistance=15*20=300ohm voltage=150V Current =voltage/resistance 150/300=0.5A given one burns out and all burns out means connection is series. So Rnet = R1 +R2..... +R20 =20R = 20(15) = 300 ohm. as R1= R2 = R3= .......... R20= 15 ohm From ohms law V=IR Given V= 150 V R= 300 ohm Thus I= V/R = 150/300 = 0.5 A |
