Nerve impulses in a human body travel at a speed of about 100 m/s. Suppose a woman accidentally steps barefoot on a thumbtack. A
sasho [114]
T = 0.017 s

From the foot to the brain is almost the same as the height. We are not given the height of the woman, but to find "about" how much time, we need a height to work with.

She *could* be 1.7 m <- height = distance

Formula for speed, where k = speed, d = distance, t = time
k = d/t
Rearrange to solve for time:
t = d/k
Substitute known values:
t = (1.7 m) / (100 m/s)
Solve:
t = 0.017 s

Therefore, it takes about 0.017s for the impulse to travel from the foot to the brain.

Danny sails a boat downstream. The wind pushes the boat along at 21 km/hr. The current runs downstream at 15 km/hr. What is the
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

36 km/h

Explanation:

The total velocity is the sum of the two velocities that add to the movement of the boat.

Since the wind pushes the boat at 21 km/h and the current that runs in the direction of the movent of the boat is 15 km/h, the total velocity at wich the boat moves is:

21km/h + 15 km/h = 36 km/h

A uniform brick of length 25 m is placed over
Harlamova29_29 [7]

The system of two rods will lie on the table as show in the figure

The center of first rod will lie exactly at the edge of first rod and then the center of mass of two combined rods will lie at the edge of the table.

So now the whole system will rest on the rod and it will not tipping off.

Since both rods are identical so we can say that the system will have its center of mass at the mid point on the line joining the two centers

So the value of x will be at mid point of line joining the two points on rod

x = \frac{12.5}{2} = 6.25 cm

So total length over the edge will be given as

L = 6.25 cm + 12.5 cm = 18.75 cm

What factors does not influence the rate of chemical weathering?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Exposure to the Atmosphere

Composition of Rock

Surface area of the rock

Climate

Time

Explanation:

Exposure to the Atmosphere - how much of the rock mass is exposed to the environment affects how quickly the rock will be weathered by that very environment

Composition of Rock - what kind of minerals the rock is made of, how easy it is for those minerals to disintegrate and how quickly the react with water and air.

Surface area of the rock - a rick that has a wider surface or smaller pieces is more exposed than one that is a lump. A larger surface area increases the rate of weathering

Climate - if a rock is an area where there are high temperatures or very low temperatures, the rate of weathering is likely to increase. A similar point can be made about a region that experiences a lot of rain.

Time - the longer the rock is exposed to harsh conditions, the more it will experience weathering

A major league baseball pitcher throws a pitch that follows these parametric equations:
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

d)    v = 100.2 mph, e) t = 1.25 s, f) -0.0340

Explanation:

d) This is an exercise that we can solve using projectile launch equations, let's start by calculating the time the ball will take to take home-plate

          .x = 147 t

          t = x / 147

          t = 60.5 / 147

          t = 0.41156 s

Let's use Pythagoras' theorem to find the speed

           v = √ vₓ² + v_{y}²

           vₓ = dx / dt

           vₓ = 147

           v_{y} = dy / dt

            v_{y} = 4 -16 t

We look for speed for the time of arriving at home

           v_{y} = 4 - 16 0.41156

            v_{y} = -2,585 ft / s

            v_{y} = -2.585 ft/ s ( 1 mile /5280 foot) (3600s/1h)

           

Let's calculate the speed

             v = √ (147² + 2,585²)

             v = 147.02 ft / s

              v =  147.0 ft/s (1 mile/5280 feet)(3600s/1h)

             v = 100.2 mph

e) the time it takes for the ball to reach the floor and = 0 foot

           

       y = 5 + 4 t - 16 t²

       0 = 5 + 4t - 16t²

       t² –t / 4 -5/4 = 0

       t² -0.25 t -1.25 = 0

We solve the equation and second degree

       t = [0.25 ±√(0.25² + 4 1.25)] / 2

       t = [0.25 ± 2.25] / 2

       t₁ = 1.25 s

       t₂ = -1 s

The positive time is correct

       t = 1.25 s

f) The angle of speed when the ball passes home

         tan θ = v_{y} / vₓ

         θ = tan⁺¹ (v_{y} / vx)

         

The distance x is given in the exercise

          x = 60.5 foot

          vₓ = 147 foot / s

           

The speed y is t = 1.25 s

          v_{y} = 5 + 4 1.25 - 16 1.25²

          v_{y} = -15 foot / s

         

         θ = tan⁻¹ (-15/147)

         θ = -1,947º = -0,0340 rad
