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

vodomira [7]

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

A wave of wavelength 0.3 m travels 900 m in 3.0 s. Calculate its frequency.

Crank

Answer: 1000 Hz

Explanation:

You can calculate frequency by dividing velocity by wavelength

Frequency = velocity/wavelength

Find velocity first.

900 m/3 s = 300 m/s

Plug values in to find frequency.

F = (300 m/s)/0.3 m

F = 1000 Hz

Three joules of work is needed to shift 10 C of charge from one place to another. The potential difference between the places is

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

The potential difference between the places is 0.3 V.

∴ 1st option i.e. 0.3V is the correct option.

Explanation:

Given

Work done W = 3J

Amount of Charge q = 10C

To determine

We need to determine the potential difference V between the places.

The potential difference between the two points can be determined using the formula

Potential Difference (V) = Work Done (W) / Amount of Charge (q)

$\:V\:=\:\frac{W}{q}$

substituting W = 3 and q = 10 in the formula

$V=\frac{3}{10}$

$V=0.3$ V

Therefore, the potential difference between the places is 0.3 V.

∴ 1st option i.e. 0.3V is the correct option.

Can you explain to be the definition of Quantum Theory?

Vanyuwa [196]

Quantum Theory is commonly related to Quantum Mechanics, or the physics of sub-atomic particles. Quantum Theory defines the theories or educated ideas behind Quantum Mechanics. I believe this is the answer you are looking for.
