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

You can use any coordinate system you like in order to solve a projectile motion problem. To demonstrate the truth of this state

Answer:

a) y₂ = 49.1 m , t = 1.02 s , b) y = 49.1 m , t= 1.02 s

Explanation:

a) We will solve this problem with the missile launch kinematic equations, to find the maximum height, at this point the vertical speed is zero

$v_{y}$ ² = $v_{oy}$ ² - 2 g (y –yo)

The origin of the coordinate system is on the floor and the ball is thrown from a height

y-yo = $v_{oy}² /2 g
 y- 0 = 10.0²/2 9.8
 y - 0 = 5.10 m
 
The height from the ground is the height that rises from the reference system plus the depth of the ground from the reference system
 y₂ = 5.1 + 44
 y₂ = 49.1 m
Let's use the other equation to find the time
 [tex]v_{y}$ = $v_{oy}$ - g t

t = $v_{oy}$ / g

t = 10 / 9.8

t = 1.02 s

b) the maximum height

y- 44.0 = $v_{y}$ ² / 2 g

y - 44.0 = 5.1

y = 5.1 +44.0

y = 49.1 m

The time is the same because it does not depend on the initial height

t = 1.02 s

If the volume of a sample of gas is reduced at constant temperature, the average velocity of the molecules _______, the average

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the volume of a sample of gas is reduced at constant temperature, the average velocity of the molecules increases, the average force of an individual collision increases, and the average number of collisions with the wall, per unit area, per second increases.

As volume is reduced, the gas molecules come closer together, which increases the number of collisions between them and their collisions with the container walls. Also, since the distance traveled by each molecule between successive collision decreases, the molecule velocity doesn't decrease much within collisions as a result of which, the average velocity is higher compared to when the gas is stored in a larger volume. Finally, due to constant collisions, the direction of molecule travel changes rapidly owing to which the acceleration of molecules increases.
