Nerve impulses in the human body travel at a speed of about 100 m/s. A 1.6 m tall man accidentally drops a hammer on his toe. Ho

w long does it take for the nerve impulse to travel from his toe to his brain?

time=distance/speed

1.6/100 secs = 0.016secs=16millisecs

Ultraviolet radiation is dangerous because it has a high enough energy to damage skin cells. UV radiation is called ultraviolet

BabaBlast [244]

Answer: smaller

Ultraviolet radiation has broad range of wavelengths, higher number means greater risk of exposure to UV rays that can be dangerous to skin cells. Sunlight is the main source of electromagnetic radiation and it is transmitted in different wavelengths known as electromagnetic spectrum. This spectrum is divided into several regions in order of decreasing wavelength and increasing energy and frequency. UV radiation has frequency and energy that is higher than purple light or violet radiation and the wavelength of ultraviolet radiation is smaller than violet radiation.

A cardinal (Richmondena cardinalis) of mass 3.70×10−2 kg and a baseball of mass 0.144 kg have the same kinetic energy. What is t

Radda [10]

Answer:

$\frac{p_{c}}{p_{b}}\approx 0.507$

Explanation:

Since the cardinal and ball have the same kinetic energy, it is possible to determine the ratio between speeds. (c for cardinal, b for baseball)

$K_{c} = K_{b}$

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{c}\cdot v_{c}^{2}= \frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{b}\cdot v_{b}^{2}$

$\frac{v_{c}}{v_{b}}=\sqrt{\frac{m_{b}}{m_{c}} }$

The ratio is obtained by multiplying each side by $\frac{m_{c}}{m_{b}}$ :

$\frac{p_{c}}{p_{b}}=\frac{m_{c}}{m_{b}}\cdot \sqrt{\frac{m_{b}}{m_{c}} }$

$\frac{p_{c}}{p_{b}}= \sqrt{\frac{m_{c}}{m_{b}} }$

The value of this ratio is:

$\frac{p_{c}}{p_{b}}\approx 0.507$
