The speed of propagation of the action potential (an electrical signal) in a nerve cell depends (inversely) on the diameter of t
zysi [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed of electrical nerve signal = 33 m /s

Distance travelled = 1.3 m

time taken = distance / speed

= 1.3 / 33  

= .039 s

= 39 ms ( millisecond )  .

What mechanism is most responsible for generating the internal heat of Io that drives its volcanic activity?
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Tidal heating

Explanation:

Tidal force is the ability of a massive body to produce tides on another body. The tidal force depends on the mass of the body that produces the tides and the distance between the two bodies.

Tidal forces can cause the destruction of a satellite that orbits a planet or a comet that is too close to the Sun or a planet. When the orbiting body crosses the "Roche boundary", the tidal forces along the body are more intense than the cohesion forces that hold the body together.

Tidal friction is the force between the Earth's oceans and ocean floors caused by the gravitational attraction of the Moon. The Earth tries to transport the waters of the oceans with it, while the Moon tries to keep them under it and on the opposite side of the Earth. In the long term, tidal friction causes the Earth's rotation speed to decrease, thus shortening the day. In turn, the Moon increases its angular momentum and gradually spirals away from Earth. Finally, when the day equals the orbital period of the Moon (which will be about 40 times the length of the current day), the process will cease. Subsequently, a new process will begin when the power to raise tides from the Sun takes angular momentum from the Earth-Moon system. The Moon will then spiral towards Earth until it is destroyed when it enters the "Roche boundary."

<u>Tidal heating </u>

It is the warming caused by the tidal action on a planet or satellite. The most important example of tidal heating in the Solar System is the effect of Jupiter on its Io satellite, in which the tidal effects produce such high temperatures that the interior of the satellite melts, producing volcanism.

An angry physics student releases a wrecking ball as shown. The wrecking ball is just about to hit the building at the final tim
daser333 [38]

Answer:

the force between the building and the ball is non-conservative (friction-type force)

Explanation

Explanation:For this exercise the student must create an impulse to move the ball towards the building, in this part he performs positive work since the applied force and the displacement are in the same direction.

When the ball moves it has a kinetic energy and if its height increases or decreases its potential energy also changes, but the sum of being must be equal to the initial work.

When the ball arrives and collides with the building, non-conservative forces, of various kinds; rubbing, breaking, etc. It transforms this energy into a part of heat and another in mechanical energy that the building must absorb, let us destroy its wall

Consequently, the force between the building and the ball is non-conservative (friction-type force

State the success of j j Thompson model theory​
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Thomson's atomic model was successful in explaining the overall neutrality of the atom. However, its propositions were not consistent with the results of later experiments. In 1906, J. J. Thomson was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for his theories and experiments on electricity conduction by gases.

Summary. J.J. Thomson's experiments with cathode ray tubes showed that all atoms contain tiny negatively charged subatomic particles or electrons. Thomson proposed the plum pudding model of the atom, which had negatively-charged electrons embedded within a positively-charged "soup."
