How is the transfer of momentum related to force?

A force is required to change momentum.An "impulse" refers to the amount of momentum transferred; impulse can be defined as force x time (more precisely: the corresponding integral).


Minimum level of stimulation required to trigger a neural impulse?

The minimum level of stimulation required to trigger a neural impulse is known as the "threshold." This threshold is the minimum amount of neurotransmitter release or electrical stimulation needed to generate an action potential in a neuron. Below this threshold, the neuron will not fire an action potential.


How does frequency of stimulation affect action potentials?

The frequency of stimulation can affect the action potential by influencing the rate at which action potentials are generated in a neuron. Higher frequency stimulation can lead to more action potentials being fired in a shorter amount of time, while lower frequency stimulation may result in fewer action potentials being generated. This relationship is known as frequency-dependent facilitation or depression.


What role do enzymes have the cell?

reduce the amount of energy required for activation


What is the product of poundal of force and second of time?

The product of (force x time) is the quantity called 'impulse'. It has the same units as momentum and, indeed, an impulse imparted to an object increases its momentum by that amount. In the metric system, it's easy. A newton-second is a kilogram-meter per second. But in this case, all you have for impulse is something called a "poundal-second", which I have no idea what other unit that may be equivalent to. I don't even know what the unit of momentum is in the 'customary' system. Foot-pound per second ? Slug-mile per hour ? Who knows ?

How to find impulse with force and time?

To find impulse with force and time, you can use the formula: Impulse Force x Time. Simply multiply the force applied by the amount of time it is applied to calculate the impulse.


What does the amount of force times the time applied equal?

impulse


Which term describes the amount of thrust created per unit of mass of an engine and fuel?

Specific impulse :)


What decreases on a constant impulse?

Velocity decreases on a constant impulse, as impulse is equal to the change in momentum. When a force is applied for a certain amount of time, it results in a change in momentum which causes the velocity to decrease at a constant rate.


How many feet of baseboard should be ordered with 10 percent waste?

What is the amount of force applied to an object over a certain amount of time equal to?

The amount of force applied to an object over a certain amount of time is equal to its impulse, which is the product of force and time. Impulse helps to quantify the change in momentum of an object due to the force applied to it over a period of time.


A drug can act as a stimulation, a sedative or can kill you depending on the amount taken?

YES


If a constant force is applied for double the amount of time What happens to the impulse applied?

If a constant force is applied for double the amount of time, the impulse applied will also double. Impulse is equal to force multiplied by time, so if either the force or the time doubles, the impulse will also double.


The minimum amount of stimulation required to tell the difference between two stimuli is called the?

Just-noticeable difference (JND) refers to the smallest detectable difference between two stimuli. This threshold determines the minimum amount of stimulation needed to distinguish between the two stimuli.
