The speed of propagation of the action potential (an electrical signal) in a nerve cell depends (inversely) on the diameter of t

he axon (nerve fiber). If the nerve cell connecting the spinal cord to your feet is 1.2 m long, and the nerve impulse speed is 27 m/s, how long (in s) does it take for the nerve signal to travel this distance?

Answer:

0.044 seconds

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Length of nerve cell = 1.2m

Nerve impulse speed = 27m/s

Speed is given as:

Speed = distance/time

Therefore, we can make time the subject of the formula. We have:

Time = distance/speed

Hence, time taken for the nerve cell to travel this distance is:

Time = 1.2 / 27

Time = 0.044 seconds

It takes 0.044 seconds for the nerve signal to travel the distance of the nerve connecting the spinal cord to the feet.

Which of the following best describes how galaxies exist in the universe?
anzhelika [568]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. Galaxies exist in the universe as they  form clusters that are light-years away from other clusters. Other choices are really far away from the truth. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

A ball is kicked from level ground at an angle 60° with initial velocity 10 m/s. The distance the ball travels, in meters, is:
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

<em>the ball travels a distance of 8.84 m</em>

Explanation:

Range: Range is defined as the horizontal distance from the point of projection to the point where the projectile hits the projection plane again.

R = (U²sin2∅)/g.............................. Equation 1

Where R = range, U = initial velocity, ∅ = angle of projection, g = acceleration due to gravity.

<em>Given: U = 10 m/s, ∅ = 60°</em>

<em>Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²</em>

Substituting these values into equation 1

R = [10²×sin(2×60)]/9.8

R = (100sin120)/9.8

R = 100×0.8660/9.8

R = 86.60/9.8

R = 8.84 m

<em>Therefore the ball travels a distance of 8.84 m</em>
