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

A 6.99-g bullet is moving horizontally with a velocity of +341 m/s, where the sign + indicates that it is moving to the right (s

Ratling [72]

Answer:

a). 1.218 m/s

b). R=2.8 $^{-3}$

Explanation:

$m_{bullet}=6.99g*\frac{1kg}{1000g}=6.99x10^{-3}kg$

$v_{bullet}=341\frac{m}{s}$

Momentum of the motion the first part of the motion have a momentum that is:

$P_{1}=m_{bullet}*v_{bullet}$

$P_{1}=6.99x10^{-3}kg*341\frac{m}{s} \\P_{1}=2.3529$

The final momentum is the motion before the action so:

a).

$P_{2}=m_{b1}*v_{fbullet}+(m_{b2}+m_{bullet})*v_{f}}$

$P_{2}=1.202 kg*0.554\frac{m}{s}+(1.523kg+6.99x10^{-3}kg)*v_{f}$

$P_{1}=P_{2}$

$2.529=0.665+(1.5299)*v_{f}\\v_{f}=\frac{1.864}{1.5299}\\v_{f}=1.218 \frac{m}{s}$

b).

kinetic energy

$K=\frac{1}{2}*m*(v)^{2}$

Kinetic energy after

$Ka=\frac{1}{2}*1.202*(0.554)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}*1.523*(1.218)^{2}\\Ka=1.142 J$

Kinetic energy before

$Kb=\frac{1}{2}*mb*(vf)^{2}\\Kb=\frac{1}{2}*6.99x10^{-3}kg*(341)^{2}\\Kb=406.4J$

Ratio = $\frac{Ka}{Kb}$

$R=\frac{1.14}{406.4}\\R=2.8x10^{-3}$

A wave transfers:<br> Water<br> particles<br> energy<br> matter

SashulF [63]

Answer:

Particles in a water wave exchange kinetic energy for potential energy. When particles in water become part of a wave, they start to move up or down. This means that kinetic energy (energy of movement) has been transferred to them

A toy cart is pulled a distance of 6.00 m in a straight line across the floor. The force pulling the cart has a magnitude of 20.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

W = 95.8J

Explanation:

Given

S = 6.00m

F =20.0N

Theta = 37°

W = FSCos(theta)

W = 20×6.0×Cos(37)

W = 95.8J
