What type of cell enhances the velocity of electrical transmission of an action potential along an axon in the peripheral nervous system?
Schwann Cells.
What is a velocity potential?
A velocity potential is a scalar function whose gradient is equal to the velocity of the fluid at that point. If a fluid is incompressible and has zero viscosity (an ideal fluid) its velocity as a function of position can always be described by a velocity potential. For a real fluid this is not generally possible.
What is efffect on drift velocity by increasing the potential difference?
Drift velocity increases.
What is the final velocity of an object that decreases in kinetic energy and increases in potential energy?
Its final velocity will be zero when it reaches maximum potential energy.
How to find potential energy when only mass and velocity time is given?
To get the potential energy when only the mass and velocity time has been given, simply multiply mass and the velocity time given.
How do you figure out velocity without time when you do have distance and loss of potential energy?
you cannot figure out the change in velocity given just the distance and loss of potential energy. you need more information
What affects frequency?
Velocity (relative and absolute), medium of transmission, ...
Does velocity affect an object's potential energy?
No. The equation for potential energy is PE = m•g•h, where m is mass in kg, gis 9.8m/s2, and h is height in meters. Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position. Velocity is not a factor in determining potential energy.
Is the velocity of a nerve impulse greater than electrical conduction's?
yes
Is electric potential energy a vector or scalar quantity?
Electrical Potential Energy is a scalar or real number. Ep = zc e2 /4pi r.Total Energy is a Quaternion, the sum of the real or potential energy and the vector energy, Ev= mcV;E = Es + Ev = zc e2 /4pi r + mcV where Ev = mcV and V is the vector velocity.
What is the relationship of potential energy to kinetic energy when an object is in motion?
velocity squared
The velocity of the action potential is fastest in which of the following axons?
a small myelinated axon
