The Resting Membrane Potential

2019
Overview The relative difference in electrical charge, or voltage, between the inside and the outside of a cell membrane, is called the membrane potential. It is generated by differences in permeability of the membrane to various ions and the concentrations of these ions across the membrane. The Inside of a Neuron Is More Negative The membrane potential of a cell can be measured by inserting a microelectrode into a cell and comparing the charge to a reference electrode in the extracellular...

Resting Potential Decay

The resting membrane potential of a neuron (-70mV) is sustained due to the selective ion permeability of the membrane. At the resting potential, the membrane is slightly permeable to ions like sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl−) and highly permeable to potassium ions (K+). Differences in the ions' concentration inside the cell compared to the outside are maintained by membrane transport proteins like channels and pumps. At rest, the K+ is the main ion that moves across the membrane through...

Pressure Variation in a Fluid at Rest

In a fluid at rest, the pressure at any point beneath the fluid surface depends solely on the depth, not on the container's shape or size. This principle, known as hydrostatic pressure, arises because, in stationary fluids, there is no acceleration, meaning the forces within the fluid balance out. Only vertical forces, caused by the weight of the fluid above, contribute to pressure changes with depth. When measuring pressure at two different levels within the fluid, the difference in pressure...
FAQs
At a turning point, velocity reaches zero only momentarily, then changes sign as motion proceeds in the opposite direction. Acceleration does not have to vanish at that instant; it may continue acting while the velocity passes through zero. This explains how an object can stop briefly yet still be dynamically changing its motion.
Velocity describes the current state of motion, whereas acceleration describes how velocity is changing. Therefore, an object may have zero velocity at one instant while acceleration continues to alter its velocity. In Rest And Reversal, this continuing acceleration allows the velocity to become positive or negative after the momentary stop.
A position-time graph shows a reversal through a change in the slope of the curve: the slope changes from positive to negative or from negative to positive. On a velocity-time graph, the same event appears when the plotted velocity reaches zero and crosses between positive and negative values, revealing the change in direction directly.
Momentary rest occurs when velocity reaches zero at a single instant, such as at a turning point, while the motion then continues in the opposite direction. Remaining at rest requires zero velocity throughout a time interval. Examining how position changes over time distinguishes these cases and prevents a turning point from being mistaken for sustained rest.
First, inspect the relevant graph for zero velocity or a zero slope. Next, check what happens immediately before and after that point. A reversal is supported when velocity changes sign, or when the position-time slope switches sign. If the value remains zero over an interval, the graph indicates sustained rest rather than only a turning point.
These events help connect a trajectory with the forces influencing motion. A turning point identifies where direction changes, while the accompanying velocity and acceleration information shows how that change occurs. In classical mechanics, graph-based analysis of such events supports interpretation of trajectories, motion phases, and the effects of forces without relying only on a visual path.
