When a higher voltage of stimulus is applied, a higher amplitude of muscle response can be found. However, if the voltage is too high, it can damage the muscle and thus lessen the response.

What are life insurance underwriter ratings?

Life insurance ratings are exta charges applied by underwriters to life insurance applications. They are applied due to i) adverse medical issues ii) occupational risks or iii) residenial risks. Medical ratings are the most complex - basically they are an attempt to make sure that a person being covered is being charged a fair premium to reflect the risks that they present compared to the underlying assumption that an applicant is in excellent health (also referred to as a 'preferred life'. The most common rating is for obesity ... obese people present a higher risk of early heart disease, diabetes, kidney failure, cancer and stroke. Therefore extra life insurance charges are applied depnding on a customers BMI (body mass index) .... If your BMI exceeds about 32 ... get ready for the extra charge !!

What does grandfathering mean in real estate?

Grandfathering in real estate refers to allowing an existing property or land use to continue its current state or use, even if new regulations or zoning laws would normally prohibit it. This exception is typically applied because the property or land use predates the regulations.

Define adaptation of sensory receptors?

When a stimulus is applied for a prolonged period, the rate of receptor response slows and our conscious awareness of the stimulus declines or is lost until some type of stimulus change occurs.


What is a resonance curve?

A resonance curve is a graph that shows the relationship between the amplitude of a system's response and the frequency of an applied periodic force. It typically exhibits a peak at the system's resonant frequency, which is when the system's response is maximized. Resonance curves are commonly used in physics and engineering to analyze the behavior of oscillating systems.


Is a wave amplitude is directly proportional to the energy applied?

Nope, Energy is directly proportional to square of amplitude. :)


What does contralateral response mean?

Contralateral response refers to a reaction or phenomenon that occurs on the opposite side of the body to where the stimulus is applied. This term is commonly used in neuroscience and medicine to describe how the brain processes and responds to stimuli.


What the difference between reaction and response?

A reaction is what happens to the body when a stimulus is applied, a response is what happens next; i.e a stimulus illicits a reaction which illicits a respose. For example, glucose in the blood (a stimulus) causes the pancreas to release insulin (a reaction), which in turn causes the cells to take up glucose from the blood (a response).


A sinusoidal force with a given amplitude is applied to an oscillator At resonance the amplitude of the oscillation is limited by?

no limit


What is the difference between an independent variable and a dependent variable in an expeirement?

In an experiment the independent is the stimulus, the thing controlled or applied by the experimenter. The dependent variable is the response, the reaction to the independent variable.


Is a wave's amplitude directly proportional to the energy applied?

no


The process of linking a given stimulus with a given response is called?

It is called "Conditioning" like Pavlov did with his dogs; linked a bell w/ salivation by feeding dogs when he rang a bell, so eventually the dogs salivated (response) just when they heard a bell (stimulus) without the food. Frequently used in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) an educational therapy & approach.


What way can classical conditioning to be most effective and long lasting?

When the conditioned stimulus isn't repeated constantly, it must be consistent but not too often. Also, the timing or sequence of the stimulus should be consistent, that is if for a conditioned response to occur a conditioned stimulus was applied within 2 seconds, it should always be applied within that 2 second window. So, to summarize, timing and consistency are the two factors for that should be satisfied for a classical conditioning to be effctive and long lasting.


How can I find the amplitude of a spring?

To find the amplitude of a spring, measure the maximum distance the spring stretches or compresses from its equilibrium position when a force is applied. This distance represents the amplitude of the spring's oscillation.


How do you react to stimulus?

When stimulus is applied to a large growling dog, it may move away or rather turn and attack the person applying the force.
