Answer:

96.5 km/h south

Explanation:

The average velocity is given by:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where

d is the displacement

t is the time

We have:

d = 55 km

$t = 34 min \cdot \frac{1}{60}=0.57 h$

Therefore, the average velocity is

$v=\frac{55}{0.57}=96.5 km/h$

And the direction is the same as the displacement (south)

Atoms in a solid are not stationary, but vibrate about their equilibrium positions. Typically, the frequency of vibration is abo

hoa [83]

To develop this problem it is necessary to use the equations of description of the simple harmonic movement in which the acceleration and angular velocity are expressed as a function of the Amplitude.

Our values are given as

$f = 4.11 *10^{12} Hz$

$A = 1.23 * 10^{-11}m$

The angular velocity of a body can be described as a function of frequency as

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi 4.11 *10^{12}$

$\omega=2.582*10^{13} rad/s$

PART A) The expression for the maximum angular velocity is given by the amplitude so that

$V = A\omega$

$V =( 1.23 * 10^{-11})(2.582*10^{13})$

$V = = 317.586m/s$

PART B) The maximum acceleration on your part would be given by the expression

$a = A \omega^2$

$a =( 1.23 * 10^{-11})(2.582*10^{13})^2$

$a= 8.2*10^{15}m/s^2$

Calculate the acceleration of gravity as a function of depth in the earth (assume it is a sphere). You may use an average densit

Ber [7]

Solution :

Acceleration due to gravity of the earth, g $=\frac{GM}{R^2}$

$g=\frac{G(4/3 \pi R^2 \rho)}{R^2}=G(4/3 \pi R \rho)$

Acceleration due to gravity at 1000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-1000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

$= 822486 \times 10^{-8}$

$=0.822 \times 10^{-2} \ km/s$

= 8.23 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity at 2000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-2000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

$= 673552 \times 10^{-8}$

$=0.673 \times 10^{-2} \ km/s$

= 6.73 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity at 3000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-3000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

$= 3371 \times 153.86 \times 10^{-8}$

= 5.18 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity at 4000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-4000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

$= 153.84 \times 2371 \times 10^{-8}$

$=0.364 \times 10^{-2} \ km/s$

= 3.64 m/s

Describe the electrical and chemical changes that lead to an action potential. Define myelin and discuss its effects.

solniwko [45]

Answer:

The outside of a neuron has more sodium ions while at resting state. When a electrical signal is going to pass through, the sodium channels open up first and the positive sodium ions rush inward making the inner side more positive. This is called action potential.

There is layer of fatty substances called as Myelin Sheath over the course of axons. It helps the electrical signal to be transmitted with a fast pace and efficiently over the course.

I need help answering 30A and B. Help a guy out?

dmitriy555 [2]

Uh so I'm no master at this subject, but all stuffs accelerate at 9.8 m/s squared. So you multiply the 9.8 and the 0.20 it's given for reasons unknown other than that's what I see in my notes... and that gives you 1.96 m/s squared.

As for B, I have no idea. I think you may multiply the 1.96 by 4. Tell me your thoughts and maybe we can work it out together
