    Chapter 9 IMPULSE AND MOMENTUM COLLISION PROBLEMS A tennis ball and racket collision: a microscopic view COLLISION: FORCE VS TIME GRAPH A large force exerted during a small interval of time is called an impulsive force. LINEAR MOMENTUM The product of the particle’s mass and velocity is called the linear momentum p = mv As a vector quantity‚ the momentum can be represented in terms of its components: px= mvx py= mvy ALTERNATIVE FORM OF NEWTON’S SECOND LAW F = ma = m(dv/dt) =

    Trigeminal nerve The trigeminal nerve is the fifth of twelve pairs of cranial nerves enervating the face and head‚ and is denoted by the Roman Numeral V. It has three divisions which enervate the forehead and eye (ophthalmic V1)‚ cheek (maxillary V2) and lower face and jaw (mandibular V3). The trigeminal nerves function in sensing facial touch‚ pain and temperature‚ as well as controlling muscles used for chewing. The trigeminal nerve functions should be distinguished from the facial nerve (cranial

    Cranial Nerves The brain and spinal cord (CNS) are connected to parts of the body by nerves and cell bodies called the peripheral nervous system. The PNS contains all of the nervous tissue outside the brain and spinal cord. Afferent (sensory) nerve fibers-conduct nerve impulses toward the CNS Efferent (motor) nerve fibers-conduct nerve pulses away Sensory Somatic System – Carries nerve impulses from the senses to the CNS and also carries the impulses to the skeletal muscles and glands

    Synapses are an essential and fascinating part of communication within the central nervous system. They are the transmitters of chemical and electrical messages that cause us to see‚ feel‚ move and much more. The brain consists of around 100 billion neurons‚ each of which has around 7‚000 synaptic connections to other neurons. It has been estimated that a three year old child has 1‚000 trillion synapses‚ and since number of synapses decreases with age until it stabilises in adulthood it is estimated

    What is the difference between Serial transmission and parallel transmission? Answer: Digital data transmission can occur in two basic modes: serial or parallel. Data within a computer system is transmitted via parallel mode on buses with the width of the parallel bus matched to the word size of the computer system. Data between computer systems is usually transmitted in bit serial mode . Consequently‚ it is necessary to make a parallel-to-serial conversion at a computer interface when sending

    Neural & Synaptic Transmission The nervous system is made up of neurons and glila cells. Neurons are the basic communication links in the nervous system. Glila cell provide support for neurons and contribute to communication. Neurons normally transmit a neural impulse (an electric current) along an axon to a synapse with another neuron. The neural impulse is a brief change in neuron’s electrical charge that moves along an axon. It is an all-or-none event. Action potential triggers

    The vagus nerve is the tenth of the twelve brain nerves. The vagus nerve contributes to the feelings associated with infections such as appetite‚ fatigue and induction of disease behavior. It extends from the brainstem to the abdomen‚ with branches in the neck‚ thorax and abdomen 68. The vagus nerve is part of the autonomic nervous system‚ has efferent fibers‚ ascending signals from the brain to the peripheral organs‚ as well as afferent sensory fibers‚ and transmits information from the peripheral
