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) what is the light source for a plant growing in the shade?
Ulleksa [173]

a.) Plants that thrive in the shade are often able to hold on to sunlight for extensive periods of time; they're in a sense like the camels of the plaNt WoRld.

b.) Though artificial lights are not nearly as beneficial as the sun, one could invest in one of them plant growing light thingies, but sun-loving plants might be sad if u do this instead of letting them soak in ePic rays from the sun.

What is the importance of natural resources ?write 5 points ​
Whitepunk [10]
<h2>Hey there! </h2>

<h2>Natural Resource:</h2>

  • The resources, for example, sunshine, air, water, soil, plants, animals, minerals, rivers etc. which after natural formation remain distributed on the earth, are known as natural resource.
  • The natural resources are found in solid, liquid or gaseous states, and in metallic or non metallic form.

If a 10,000 g mass is suspended from a rope, what is the tensile force in the rope?
nadezda [96]

To solve this problem we will apply Newton's second law and the principle of balancing Forces on the rope. Newton's second law allows us to define the weight of the mass, through the function

F = ma\rightarrow F =mg

Here,

m = mass

a = g = Gravitational acceleration

Replacing we have that the weight is

W= (10kg)(9.8)

W = 98N

Since the rope is taut and does not break, the net force on the rope will be zero.

\sum F = 0

T-W = 0

T = W

T = 98N

Therefore the tensile force in the rope is 98N
