The speed of a nerve impulse in the human body is about 100 m/s. If you accidentally stub you toe in the dark, estimate the time

it takes the nerve impulse to travel to your brain. (Assume that you are approximately 1.6 m tall and that the nerve impulse travels at uniform speed.)

Answer:

0.02 s

Explanation:

Take the (+x) direction to be up.  

The average velocity v during a time interval Δt is the displacement Δx divided by Δt.  

v=Δx/Δt

 =x_f-x_i/t_f-t_i                 (1)

We assume that your height is 1.6m  

Solving [1]

Δt=Δx/v

  = 0.02 s

When analyzing a position time graph the direction of the slope positive or negative tells us:
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

Positive values for position indicate that the object is in front of the starting point and negative values tell us that the object is behind the starting point. (time = 9.5, position = 0) the object is at the starting point.

Which section of the reaction represents the reactants? A) a B) b C) c D) d
ivann1987 [24]
This question is incomplete, but I can do it for you, considering the equation to be *In its most famous form*:
A+B⇒C+D
A and B here are the reactants, while C and D are the products.
The reactants are generally the input materials in the beginning of any chemical reactions and they usually, if not always, are on the left hand side of the chemical equation. While the products are on the right hand side and are the final output of the chemical reaction.

Hope this helps.

Emily uses a rifle to shoot a bullet at a target. The bullet has a mass of 13 grams. The rifle has a mass of 3,500 grams. When s
sp2606 [1]
Force exerted by the bullet = mass * acceleration = 0.013 * 850 = 11.05 Newtons.

the rifle exerts same force in opposite direction so we have

11.05 = 3.5 * a
acceleration = 11.05 / 3.5 =  3.16 m /s^-2

You go rock climbing with a pack that weighs 70 N and you reach a height of 30 m. how much work did you do to lift your pack? If
Vikentia [17]
When you climb, earth exerts gravitational force on pack in downward direction(pointing towards the center of earth).
In order to climb, you need to work against work done by gravity on the pack.
Hence work done by you = work done by gravity on pack 
                                        = Force x displacement = 70 x 30 = 2100 J.
 
So you need to do 2100 joules of work to lift your pack.

Power is the rate of work done.
Therefore power = work done by you/time(in seconds)
                            =     2100/600 =3.5 watts
