Assume an axon has an internal diameter of 1μm and a myelin sheath 1μm thick. The internal specific resistance is 100 Ω cm. For

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

$1.27\times 10^{12}\Omega/m$

Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter=d= $\mu m$

Thickness= $1\mu m$

Radius= $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\mu m=0.5\times 10^{-6} m$

Using $1\mu m=10^{-6} m$

Dielectric constant=8

Resistance = $R=2\times 10^5\Omega cm^2$

Internal specific resistance=r=100 ohm cm= $100\times \frac{1}{100}\Omega-m=1\Omega m$

Using 1 m=100 cm

Internal resistance per unit length= $\frac{r}{A}=\frac{1}{\pi r^2}=\frac{1}{3.14\times (0.5\times 10^{-6})^2}=1.27\times 10^{12}\Omega/m$

Using $\pi=3.14$

Internal resistance per unit length= $1.27\times 10^{12}\Omega/m$

A student pushes a 2.85 kg cart causing it to accelerate at a rate of 4.9 m/s squared .What amount of force must the student hav

uysha [10]

In order to find the force (F), you would have to use the formula for it:
F=ma
where m is mass and a is acceleration.
In the problem, the mass is 2.85kg and the acceleration is 4.9m/s^2.
Therefore,
F=2.85kg(4.9m/s^2)
F=13.965kg(m/s^2)
Since N=kg(m/s^2)
F=13.965N
And because the problem requires that we use only 2 significant figures,
F=13N
Therefore, the student must exert 13N of force.

What happens when you get a concussion?

madreJ [45]

A concussion, which is a form of mild traumatic brain injury, occurs after a blow to the head. The brain is surrounded by fluid and protective membranes called meninges, which usually cushion the brain. During an impact, the brain is pushed against the inside of the skull and can be bruised.

While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, you throw a stone upward with an initial speed of 5.65 m/s. The stone subs

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

1. 20.54m/s

2. 1.52s

Explanation:

QUESTION 1:

The speed the stone impact the ground is the final speed/velocity, which can be calculated using the formula:

v² = u² + 2as

Where;

v = final velocity (m/s)

u = initial velocity (m/s)

a = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

s = distance (m)

From the provided information, u = 5.65m/s, v = ?, s = 19.9m, a = 9.8m/s²

v² = 5.65² + 2 (9.8 × 19.9)

v² = 31.9225 + 2 (195.02)

v² = 31.9225 + 390.04

v² = 421.9625

v = √421.9625

v = 20.5417

v = 20.54m/s

QUESTION 2:

Using v = u + at

Where v = final velocity (m/s) = 20.54m/s

t = time (s)

u = initial velocity (m/s) = 5.65m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

v = u + at

20.54 = 5.65 + 9.8t

20.54 - 5.65 = 9.8t

14.89 = 9.8t

t = 14.89/9.8

t = 1.519

t = 1.52s
