Because the tip of the pin has a very small area, therefore greater pressure. the area of the pin pressing on the thumb is much greater.

A bear scratches his claws on a big pine tree. Does the bear do work on the tree? why or why not?
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

Work in physics is defined as the product of force by the distance that the body travels in the direction of the force.

It can be represented by means of the following equation.

W=F*d

where:

W = work [J]

F = force [N]

d = distance [m]

In the given example the work is zero since the tree does not move, therefore the bear exerts a force on the tree. But there is no talk of movement of the tree, therefore the work is zero.

What is the closest distance the electrodes used in an NCV test can be placed on a nerve in order to measure the voltage change
sammy [17]

Answer:

0.1 m

Explanation:

The closest distance the electrodes used in an NCV test in oerder to measure

the voltage change as a response to the stimulus is 0.1 m.

This is because the shortest observable time period is not less than the action-potential time response of 1 mili second the length traveled by the sensation during this time is 1 m sec x 100 m / s =0.1 m, which is the shortest distance the electrodes could be positioned on the nerve.

Drag and drop the correct answer to complete the sentence.
Afina-wow [57]

Answer: 10kg

Explanation:

force applied by Ahmad = 100 N

box's acceleration = 10 m/s

mass of the box = ?

Recall that Force is the product of mass of an object by the acceleration by which it moves.

i.e Force = mass x acceleration

100N = mass x 10m/s

Mass = 100N / 10m/s

Mass = 10kg

Thus, the mass of the box is​ 10kg

A cell membrane has a thickness of about 7 nm. How many cell membranes would it take to make a stack 2.3 in high?
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

There are 8345714 cell membranes.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The thickness of a cell membrane is 7 nm

We need to find the number of cell membranes would it take to make a stack 2.3 inches high.

Firstly, the units must be same i.e. converting 2.3 inches to m

1 inch = 0.0254 m

2.3 inches = 0.05842 m

Let there are n number of cell membranes. So,

n=\dfrac{\text{stack height}}{\text{1 membrane thickness}}\\\\n=\dfrac{0.05842}{7\times 10^{-9}}\\\\n=8345714.28

or

n = 8345714 cell membranes
