A student is sitting at rest in a chair. How does the force that the student exerts

Physics
1 answer:
jonny [76]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

the same magnitude but the opposite direction

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that there is always an equal and opposite reaction to every action. This means that the amount of force exerted upon an object is equal to the amount of force the object exerts but in an opposite direction.

This is the case in this scenario where a student sits at rest in a chair. The student is supplying the action force being exerted on the chair. According to the third law of Newton, the chair will exert the same size of force back in the student but in an opposite direction.

Hence, the force the chair exerts on the students compare with that of the student in the sense that they are the same magnitude (size) but the opposite directions.

Nerve cells transmit electric signals through their long tubular axons. These signals propagate due to a sudden rush of Na+ ions
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

I = \frac{9.12x10^{-8} C}{0.007 s}= 1.30285 x10^{-5} \frac{C}{s}=1.30285 x10^{-5} A = 13.02 \mu A

Explanation:

For this case we have the following info given:

Number of Na+ ions 5.7 x10^{11} ions

Each ion have a charge of +e and the crage of the electron is 1.6 x10^{-19}C

The time is given t = 7 ms if we convert this into seconds we got:

t = 7ms * \frac{1s}{1000 ms}= 0.007s

Now we can use the following formula given from the current passing thourhg a meter of nerve axon given by:

Q = Ne

Where N represent the number of ions, e the charge of the electron and Q the total charge

If we replace on this case we have this:

Q= 5.7x10^{11} * (1.6 x10^{-19}C) = 9.12x10^{-8} C

And from the general definition of current we know that:

I =\frac{Q}{t}

And since we know the total charge Q and the time we can replace:

I = \frac{9.12x10^{-8} C}{0.007 s}= 1.30285 x10^{-5} \frac{C}{s}=1.30285 x10^{-5} A = 13.02 \mu A

The current during the inflow charge in the meter axon for this case is 13.02 \mu A
