We can see the axon as a current-carrying wire. The magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by
B(r) =  \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}
where
\mu_0 = 4 \pi \cdot 10^{-7} Tm/A is the vacuum permeability
I is the current in the wire
r is the radial distance from the wire at which the field is calculated

The current in the axon is 
I=0.040 \mu A=0.040 \cdot 10^{-6} A, 
therefore the magnetic field strength at distance
r=1.2 mm=1.2 \cdot 10^{-3}m 
from the axon is
B= \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}= \frac{(4 \pi \cdot 10^{-7} Tm/A)(0.040 \cdot 10^{-6} A)}{2 \pi (1.2 \cdot 10^{-3} m)}=6.67 \cdot 10^{-6} T = 6.67 \mu T

A student standing on a stationary skateboard tosses a textbook with a mass of mb = 1.25 kg to a friend standing in front of him
juin [17]

Answer:

The velocity of the student has after throwing the book is 0.0345 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of book =1.25 kg

Combined mass = 112 kg

Velocity of book = 3.61 m/s

Angle = 31°

We need to calculate the magnitude of the velocity of the student has after throwing the book

Using conservation of momentum along horizontal  direction

m_{b}v_{b}\cos\theta= m_{c}v_{c}

v_{s}=\dfrac{m_{b}v_{b}\cos\theta}{m_{c}}

Put the value into the formula

v_{c}=\dfrac{1.25\times3.61\times\cos31}{112}

v_{c}=0.0345\ m/s

Hence, The velocity of the student has after throwing the book is 0.0345 m/s.

The physical phenomenon that MRI is based on does not depend on ionizing radiation, but on other properties of atoms instead. Wh
hammer [34]

This phenomenon is called Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.

When I met my future wife, she was working in the medical research building next door to the communications building where I worked. (We shared a parking lot.) MRI was not a thing yet, and she was doing research in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. I learned a lot about it when I walked next door to visit her in her lab. Strange as it may seem, several years earlier, her older brother was involved in the invention of the CAT scan. When we got married, I figured that our kids had at least a 50% chance of inheriting some brains. So we had some, and they've done OK.

"A block of metal weighs 40 N in air and 30 N in water. What is the buoyant force on the block due to the water? The density of
Alja [10]

Answer:

buoyant force on the block due to the water= 10 N

Explanation:

We know that

buoyant force(F_B) on a block= weight of the block in air (actual weight) - weight of block in water.

Given:

A block of metal weighs 40 N in air and 30 N in water.

F_B =  40-30= 10 N

therefore,  buoyant force on the block due to the water= 10 N
