A nerve signal is transmitted through a neuron when an excess of Na+ ions suddenly enters the axon, a long cylindrical part of t

he neuron. Axons are approximately 10.0 μm in diameter, and measurements show that about 5.60×1011 Na+ions per meter (each of charge +e) enter during this process. Although the axon is a long cylinder, the charge does not all enter everywhere at the same time. A plausible model would be a series of nearly point charges moving along the axon. Let us look at a 0.100 mm length of the axon and model it as a point charge.1) What electric field (magnitude and direction) does the sudden influx of charge produce at the surface of the body if the axon is 5.00 cm below the skin? Note that distance to the skin is much greater than the length of the charged axon so that the axon charge is effectiely point-like.,E = (INSERT ANSWER) N/C2) If the charge that enters each meter of the axon gets distributed uniformly along it, how many coulombs of charge enter a 0.100 mm length of the axon? Answer in C3) the field is directed away from the axon or the field is directed into the axon

Answer:

1.32.225 N/C, direction is away from the point charge

2. 8.972*10^-12 C

3. the field is directed away from the axon

Explanation:

The electric field can be calculated as shown below:

E = k*|q|/r^2

Where:

E = electric field; k = 8.98755*10^9 N*m^2/C^2; r = distance between the measured field and point charge = 0.05 m; q = the point charge

For 0.100 m of the axon, the value of q is:

q = (5.6*10^11)*(+e)*(0.001)

+e = charge of an electron = 1.60217*10^-19 C

Thus:

q = (5.6*10^11)*(1.60217*10^-19)*(0.0001) = 8.972*10^-12 C

Therefore:

E = (8.98755*10^9)*(8.972*10^-12)/0.05^2 = 32.255 N/C

A positive point charge always produce an electric field that is directed away from the field while a negative point charge produces an electric field that is directed toward the field

A ball is thrown upward from the top of a building at an angle of 30.0° to the horizontal and with
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Vertical position = 45 +  20 sin (30) t  - 4.9 t^2

 when it hits ground this = 0

               0 = -4.9t^2 + 20 sin (30 ) t + 45

                0 = -4.9t^2 + 10 t +45 = 0     solve for t =4.22 sec

  max height is at  t= - b/2a = 10/9.8 =1.02

     use this value of 't' in the equation to calculate max height = 50.1 m

      it has  4.22 - 1.02 to free fall = 3.2 seconds free fall

           v = at = 9.81 * 3.2 = 31.39 m/s VERTICAL

      it will <u>also</u> still have horizontal velocity =  20 cos 30 = 17.32 m/s

        total velocity will be sqrt ( 31.39^2 + 17.32^2) = 35.85 m/s

Horizontal range = 20 cos 30  * t  =  20 *  cos 30  * 4.22 = 73.1 m

A bicycle has a momentum of 23.4
Snowcat [4.5K]
  • Momentum=23.4kgm/s
  • Velocity=2m/s

\\ \rm\longmapsto Momentum=Mass\times velocity

\\ \rm\longmapsto Mass=\dfrac{Momentum}{Velocity}

\\ \rm\longmapsto Mass=\dfrac{23.4}{2}

\\ \rm\longmapsto Mass=11.7kg
