Nerve impulses in a human body travel at a speed of about 100 m/s. Suppose a man accidentally stubs his toe. About how much time

does it take the nerve impulse to travel from the foot to the brain (in s)? Assume the man is 1.80 m tall and the nerve impulse travels at uniform speed.

Answer:

t = 0.018 s  

Explanation:

given,

nerve impulse in human body travel at a speed of  = 100 m/s

height of the man = 1.80 m

time taken by the impulse to travel from foot to brain = ?

distance = speed × time                      

1.80 = 100 × t                                              

t =\dfrac{1.80}{100}                                    

t = 0.018 s                            

hence, the time taken by the nerve to reach brain from toe is 0.018 s

ANTONII [103]
From the information given and if the question is complete then;
Absolute temperature is the temperature in Kelvin
To convert degree Celsius to kelvin we normally add 273
that is Kelvin = deg Celsius + 273
Thus since we have been given that the air was at -70 degrees celcius;
then; - 70° C  + 273 = 203 K
 Therefore; the absolute temperature is 203 K

A car owner forgets to turn off the headlights of his car while it is parked in his garage. If the 12.0-V battery in his car is
avanturin [10]

Answer: 22.6 hours

Explanation:

The power is the measure of the rate of energy.

In this problem, the 12.0 V battery is rated at 51.0 Ah, which means it delivers 51.0 A of current in a time of t = 1 h = 3600 s. The power delivered by the battery can be written as

P=IV

where

I is the current

V = 12.0 V is the voltage of the battery

So the energy delivered by the battery can be written as

E=Pt=VIt

Where

It=51.0 A\cdot h = 51.0 A \cdot 3600 s/h=183,600 A\cdot s

So the energy delivered is

E=(12.0)(183,600)=2.2\cdot 10^6 J

At the same time, the headlight consumes 27.0 W of power, so 27 Joules of energy per second; Therefore, it will remain on for a time of:

t=\frac{2.2\cdot 10^6 J}{27.0 W}=81481 s = 22.6 h

A car on a freeway speeds up to get around another car. The car speeds up from 20 m/s to 35 m/s in 5 seconds.
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Initial speed = 20 m/s

Final speed = 35 m/s

Time to speed up = 5 seconds

Explanation:

Directly from the information given:

Initial speed = 20 m/s

Final speed = 35 m/s

Time to speed up = 5 seconds

What mass of ice (in g) can be melted if 27.2 kJ of thermal energy are added at the freezing point? Use molar mass = 18.02 g/mol
san4es73 [151]

Answer : The mass of ice melted can be, 3.98 grams.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of ice.

Q=\frac{\Delta H}{n}

where,

Q = energy absorbed = 27.2 kJ

\Delta H = enthalpy of fusion of ice = 6.01 kJ/mol

n = moles = ?

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

27.2kJ=\frac{6.01kJ/mol}{n}

n=0.221mol

Now we have to calculate the mass of ice.

\text{Mass of ice}=\text{Moles of ice}\times \text{Molar mass of ice}

Molar mass of ice = 18.02 g/mol

\text{Mass of ice}=0.221mol\times 18.02g/mol=3.98g

Thus, the mass of ice melted can be, 3.98 grams.

A car initially traveling 7 m/s speeds up uniformly at a rate of 3 m/s2 until it reaches a velocity of 22 m/s. How much time did
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

t = 5 s

Explanation:

Data:

  • Initial Velocity (Vo) = 7 m/s
  • Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s²
  • Final Velocity (Vf) = 22 m/s
  • Time (t) = ?

Use formula:

  • \boxed{t=\frac{Vf - Vo}{a}}

Replace:

  • \boxed{t=\frac{22\frac{m}{s} -7\frac{m}{s}}{3\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}

Solve the subtraction of the numerator:

  • \boxed{t=\frac{15\frac{m}{s}}{3\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}

It divides:

  • \boxed{t=5\ s}

How much time did it take the car to reach this final velocity?

It took a time of <u>5 seconds.</u>
