Nerve cells transmit electric signals through their long tubular axons. These signals propagate due to a sudden rush of Na+ ions

, each with charge +e, into the axon. Measurements have revealed that typically about 5.7×10^11 Na+ ions enter each meter of the axon during a time of 7.0 ms. What is the current during this inflow of charge in a meter of axon?

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

This sphere contains all of the frozen water on Earth
erica [24]
Cryosphere is the sphere that contains all of the frozen water on Earth. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the fourth option or the last option. Cryosphere is actually those parts of the surface of the earth where the water is in a frozen state, like in seas and oceans.

Which of the following explains why metallic bonding only occurs between
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

D. Metallic atoms have valence shells that are mostly empty, which

means these atoms are more likely to give up electrons and allow

them to move freely.

Explanation:

Metals usually contain very few electrons in their valence shells hence they easily give up these few valence electrons to yield metal cations.

In the metallic bond, metal cations are held together by electrostatic attraction between the metal ions and a sea of mobile electrons.

Since metals give up their electrons easily, it is very easy for them to participate in metallic bonding. They give up their electrons easily because their valence shells are mostly empty, metal valence shells usually contain only a few electrons.

A 1150 kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 7.69 m before contacting the beam,
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

the average force 11226 N  

Explanation:

Let's analyze the problem we are asked for the average force, during the crash, we can find this from the impulse-momentum equation, but this equation needs the speeds and times of the crash that we could look for by kinematics.

Let's start looking for the stack speeds, it has a free fall, from rest  (Vo=0)

             

           Vf² = Vo² - 2gY

            Vf² = 0 - 2 9.8 7.69 = 150.7

            Vf = 12.3 m / s

This is the speed that the battery likes when it touches the beam.  They also give us the distance it travels before stopping, let's calculate the time

         

            Vf = Vo - g t

             0 = Vo - g t

             t = Vo / g

             t = 12.3 / 9.8

             t = 1.26 s

This is the time to stop

Now let's use the equation that relates the impulse to the amount of movement

                 I = Δp

                F t = pf-po

The amount of final movement is zero because the system stops

                F = - po / t

                F = - mv / t

                F = - 1150 12.3 / 1.26

                F = -11226 N

This is the average force exerted by the stack on the vean
