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

Work out the kinetic energy of a 2.5 kg remote-controlled car that is moving at 2 m/s.
lbvjy [14]

Answer: 5 joules

Explanation:

mass=m=2.5kg

Velocity=v=2m/s

Kinetic energy=ke

ke=(m x v x v)/2

ke=(2.5 x 2 x 2)/2

Ke=10/2

Ke=5

Kinetic energy=5 joules

Which of the angles shown in this picture is the angle of incidence?<br> A<br> B
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
The pictures are not attached, therefore, I cannot give a specific choice.
However, I will try to help you out.

The angle of incidence is defined as the angle formed between the ray of light and the normal to the surface that the ray is falling on.

The angle of incidence can be shown in the attached image.

Therefore, for your question, choose the image on which the above description applies.

Hope this helps :)

A sound wave has a frequency of 425 Hz. What is the period of this wave
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer: The time period of the given wave with frequency of 425 Hertz is 0.0023 seconds.

Explanation:

Frequency of the wave = 425 Hertz =425 sec^{-1}

\text{Time period}=\frac{1}{Frequency}

\text{Time period}==\frac{1}{425 sec^{-1}}=0.0023 sec

The time period of the given wave with frequency of 425 Hertz is 0.0023 seconds.
