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

Explanation:

Work done by winch = kinetic energy of car

∫ T ds = ½ mv²

∫ 225s ds = ½ mv²

225/2 s² = ½ mv²

225 s² = mv²

v = 15s / √m

Given s = 10 m and m = 2500 kg:

v = 15 (10) / √2500

v = 3 m/s

How does the function of the parts of the system contribute to its function as a whole
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Answer and explanation: Just as the organs in an organ system work together to accomplish their task, so the different organ systems also cooperate to keep the body running. For example, the respiratory system and the circulatory system work closely together to deliver oxygen to cells and to get rid of the carbon dioxide the cells produce.
