Answer:

I = 18 x 10⁻⁹ A = 18 nA

Explanation:

The current is defined as the flow of charge per unit time. Therefore,

I = q/t

where,

I = Average Current passing through nerve cell

q = Total flow of charges through nerve cell

t = time period of flow of charges

Here, in our case:

I = ?

q = (9 pC)(1 x 10⁻¹² C/1 pC) = 9 x 10⁻¹² C

t = (0.5 ms)(1 x 10⁻³ s/1 ms) = 5 x 10⁻⁴ s

Therefore,

I = (9 x 10⁻¹² C)/(5 x 10⁻⁴ s)

<u>I = 18 x 10⁻⁹ A = 18 nA</u>

An airplane is flying in a horizontal circle at a speed of 92.1 m/s. The 55.6 kg pilot does not want his radial acceleration to
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

 r = 102.43 m

Explanation:

Newton's second law for this case is

              F = ma

Where the acceleration is centripetal

            a = v² / r

            r = v² / a

They indicate that the radial acceleration is 8.45 g

           r = v² / 8.45 g.

           r = 92.1² / 8.45 9.8

           r = 102.43 m

A flea walking along a ruler moves from the 45 cm mark to the 27 cm mark. It does this in 3 seconds. What is the speed? What is
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the calculation of distance we do not take into account the direction of movement .So only magnitude of movement is taken care of.

On the other hand , in respect of displacement , we take into account even direction of movement along with magnitude.

Distance covered by flea = 45 - 27 = 18 cm

Displacement by flea = 27 - 45 = - 18 cm

Speed = Distance covered / time

= 18 / 3 = 6 cm / s

Velocity = - 18 / 3 = - 6 cm /s.

The doppler effect is when objects are not moving?<br><br> True <br><br> False
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

reviewing the statement we can say that it is FALSE

Explanation:

The Doppler effect is the change in the perceived frequency of a sound wave by the RELATIVE MOTION of the source and the observer.

This effect is very useful for finding the speed of an object.

When reviewing the statement we can say that it is FALSE

A jogger travels a route that has two parts. The first is a displacement of 3 km due south, and the second involves a displaceme
spayn [35]

Answer:

a) 2.41 km

b) 38.8°

Questions c and d are illegible.

Explanation:

We can express the displacements as vectors with origin on the point he started (0, 0).

When he traveled south he moved to (-3, 0).

When he moved east he moved to (-3, x)

The magnitude of the total displacement is found with Pythagoras theorem:

d^2 = dx^2 + dy^2

Rearranging:

dy^2 = d^2 - dx^2

dy = \sqrt{d^2 - dx^2}

dy = \sqrt{3.85^2 - 3^2}  = 2.41 km

The angle of the displacement vector is:

cos(a) = dx/d

a = arccos(dx/d)

a = arccos(3/3.85) = 38.8°
