A biophysics experiment uses a very sensitive magnetic field probe to determine the current associated with a nerve impulse trav

eling along an axon.

Answer:

The peak current carried by the axon is 5.85 x 10⁻⁸ A

Explanation:

Given;

distance of the field from the axon, r = 1.3 mm

peak magnetic field strength, B = 9 x 10⁻¹² T

To determine the peak current carried by the axon, apply the following equation;

B = \frac{\mu I}{2\pi r}

where;

B is the peak magnetic field

r is the distance of the magnetic field from axon

μ is permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷

I is the peak current

Re-arrange the equation and solve for "I"

B = \frac{\mu I}{2\pi r} \\\\I = \frac{B*2\pi r}{\mu} \\\\I = \frac{9*10^{-12}*2*\pi *1.3*10^{-3}}{4\pi *10^{-7}} \\\\I = 5.85 *10^{-8} \ A

Therefore, the peak current carried by the axon is 5.85 x 10⁻⁸ A

Marie is puzzled by her findings she has done several meticulous calculations and has gotten the numbers .37 rad, .89 rad and 1.
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

I think the answer is a

Explanation:

for it to be accurate has be to exactly 0.9 rad

it is not precise because the answer she is getting is different everytime and not even close. For instance,

It would have been precise if she had gotten 0.37 rad in every attempt. or 0.89 every attempt...

La altura de un tornillo de banco respecto a la superficie es de 80 cm expresar dicha medida en pies..
Andrej [43]

Answer:

this measurement if feet is: 2.624672 ft

Explanation:

Notice that 80 cm can be expressed as 0.8 meters, and In order to convert from meters to feet, one needs to multiply the meter measurement times 3.28084. Therefore:

0.80 m can be written in feet as: 0.80 * 3.28084 feet = 2.624672 feet

A state patrol officer saw a car start from rest at a highway​ on-ramp. She radioed ahead to another officer 20 mi along the hig
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

We know from the basic speed distance relation that

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}

Since the car started from rest and it covered the distance between the 2 officer's in 19 minutes we have speed of the car

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\\\Speed=\frac{20}{\frac{19}{60}}=63.16mph

Which clearly exceeds the limit of 60\frac{mi}{hr}
