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

Precipitation clouds are observed at a distance of about 720 miles to the west of a city. The clouds are seen moving westwards a
tankabanditka [31]
This question may require more information for an accurate answer. If the clouds are observed west of the city and they are moving in a westerly direction it means that the clouds are moving away. Precipitation refers to rainfall, sleet, hail or snow. Since no reference was made to the temperature, season or location of the city it could be rain or snow clouds. The clouds are moving away from the city so the possible answers could be b. or d. Furthermore, by dividing the distance by the speed one would get an answer of twenty four hours. So even if the clouds were moving towards the city it would take a day to reach and precipitation would not be likely in 24 hrs.

Pressure can affect the density of<br><br> Solids<br> Liquids<br> Gases<br> Metals
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer;

-Gases

Explanation;

-Pressure can affect the density of gases.

-Density of gases changes with pressure and temperature because gases are compressible fluid and because they are compressible, when pressure increases molecules come closer to each other which means increase in density and when pressure drops molecules of gases become free to expand and get away from each other which density decrease.

What is the drawback to using superconductors?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Option A

The cost of keeping the semiconductor below the critical temperature is unreasonable

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand what superconductors are. Superconductors are special materials that conduct electrical current with almost zero resistance. This means that there is little or no need for a voltage source to be connected to them. As a matter of fact, once a superconductor is connected to a power supply, one can remove the power supply and the current will still flow.

However, most superconducts can only conduct at very low temperatures up to -200 degrees Celcius. This is because, at that temperature, their atoms and molecules are relatively settled, hence they pose little or no resistance to the flow of current.

This as you can guess is extremely difficult to do, as you will need a lot of effort to cool it to that temperature and maintain it.

This makes option a the answer:

The cost of keeping the semiconductor below the critical temperature is unreasonable.
