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 state or states of matter take(s) the shape of its container? A) gas B) solid C) liquid D) liquid and gas
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

D) liquid and gas

Explanation:

The three main states of matter are:

- Solid: in solids, the molecules are bond together by strong intermolecular forces, so the molecules are not free to move. Therefore, a solid has a definite shape, so it does not take the shape of its container.

- Liquid: in liquids, molecules are not bond together, so they are free to move (still, there are some weak intermolecular forces which keep them close to each other). Since in liquids molecules can slide past each other, they take the shape of the container.

- Gas: in gases, molecules are totally free to move, so gases take the shape (and also the volume) of the container.

Based on the definitions above, we can conclude that the correct answer is

D) liquid and gas
