To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler Effect. The Doppler effect is the change in the perceived frequency of any wave movement when the emitter, or focus of waves, and the receiver, or observer, move relative to each other.

Mathematically it can be described as

v' = v (\frac{f' ( v - v_{bat}) - f ( v + v_{bat})}{f'(v-v_{bat}) + f ( v + v_{bat})})

Where,

v = Speed of sound

f' = Reflected frequency

f = Emitted Frequency

v_{bat} = Speed of the object

Assuming that the speed of the medium is the speed of sound of 343m / s, we will then have that:

v' = 343 (\frac{(83.5) (343 -3.9) - 80.2(343+3.9)}{83.5(343-3.9) + 80.2(343+4.3)})

v' = 3.0134m/s

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

A 120 V potential difference is applied to a space heater that dissipates 674 W during operation. (a) What is its resistance dur
Annette [7]

Answer:

(a) 21.36 ohms

(b) 5.62 A

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Potential difference, V = 120 V

Power, P = 674 W

(a) Power is given as:

P = V²/R

Where R is resistance

=> R = V²/P

R = 120²/674

R = 14400/674

R = 21.36 ohms

(b) Power is also given as:

P = I*V

Where I = Current (time rate of flow of Electric charge)

=> I = P/V

I = 674/120

I = 5.62 A
