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
1 answer:
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 =
t = 0.018 s
hence, the time taken by the nerve to reach brain from toe is 0.018 s

Answer:
The positive displacement from the midpoint of its motion at the speed equal one half of its maximum speed is 3.56 cm.
Explanation:
Maximum speed is :
v (max) = Aω
Speed v at any displacement y is given by
=
(
-
) ........................................................ i
And,
v = v (max)
or, 2 × v = Aω .................................................... ii
Eliminating ω from equations i and ii,
=
(
-
)
or, = (
)
=(
)
or, y = 3.56 cm.
