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.

a geosynchronous satellite appears to remain over one spot on earth. a geosynchronous satellite has an orbital radius of 4.23 ×
Natasha2012 [34]

Given that,

radius, r = 4.23 x 10∧7 m

Period, T = ?

Since, we know that,

In a geosynchronous satellite, period is equal to the period of earth that is 24 hrs.

Therefore, Time period is equal to 24 hours.

The diagram shows an example of convection.
const2013 [10]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When we heat a fluid then the movement within the fluid makes hot (less dense) material to rise and cooler (more denser) material to sink at the bottom. This process is known as convection.

Thus, in the diagram hot (less dense) water will rise and cooler (more dense) water sinks at the bottom.

Therefore, we can conclude that according to the arrow the label belongs to cooler water sinks.

Where is the sun's energy most concentrated
Maru [420]

B. At the equator

Explanation:

The energy coming from the Sun hits the Earth's surface at different angles, depending on the latitude of the place. The more perpendicular the ray of lights hit the surface, the more the energy transmitted to the Earth's surface, the warmer the location.

The angle at which the ray of lights hit the Earth is related to the latitude: in particular, the ray of lights arrive perpendicular at the equator (0^{\circ}), they arrive at larger angle in the United States (which is located at intermediate latitudes) and they arrive at the largest angles at the poles. For this reason, the sun's most energy is concentrated at the equator.
