At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 93 m long. It was a rainy day and the coeffi

cient of friction was estimated to be 0.35. Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units

Answer:

u = 25 m/s

Explanation:

given,                                

length of skid = 93 m          

coefficient of friction = 0.35

final velocity = 0 m/s              

initial velocity = ?                        

force here is friction  f = μ mg

F = ma                                                

now com paring                      

-μ mg = m a                      

a = - μ g                    

a = - 0.35 x 9.8              

a = -3.43 m/s²

we know,              

v² = u² + 2 a s                        

0 = u² - 2 x 3.43 x 93                

u² = 637.98                    

u = 25.26 m/s                      

u = 25 m/s (two significant figure)

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

Write a statement about the relationship between
Alex17521 [72]

<u><em>Answer:Just as wavelength and frequency are related to light, they are also related to energy. The shorter the wavelengths and higher the frequency corresponds with greater energy. So the longer the wavelengths and lower the frequency results in lower energy.</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

Explanation:So, if the wavelength of a light wave is shorter, that means that the frequency will be higher because one cycle can pass in a shorter amount of time. ... That means that longer wavelengths have a lower frequency. Conclusion: a longer wavelength means a lower frequency, and a shorter wavelength means a higher frequency!

<em>Extra explanation: All waves can be defined in terms of their frequency and intensity. c = λν expresses the relationship between wavelength and frequency.</em>
