You step onto a hot beach with your bare feet. A nerve impulse, generated in your foot, travels through your nervous system at a

n average speed of 103 m/s. How much time does it take for the impulse, which travels a distance of 1.87 m, to reach your brain

Answer:

It will take 0.018 sec to complete 1.87 m

Explanation:

We have given speed of the nerve impulse in the nervous system is 10.3 m/sec

Distance traveled by nerve impulse s = 1.87 m

We have to find the time taken by nerve impulse to complete this distance

We know that time is ratio of distance traveled and average speed

So time taken by nerve impulse to compete 1.87 m will be equal to

$=\frac{1.87}{103}=0.018sec$

So it will take 0.018 sec to complete 1.87 m

Two stationary point charges of 3.00 nC and 2.00 nC are separated by a distance of 50.0 cm. An electron is released from rest at

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

1. the electric potential energy of the electron when it is at the midpoint is - 2.9 x $10^{-17}$ J

2. the electric potential energy of the electron when it is 10.0 cm from the 3.00 nC charge is - 5.04 x $10^{-17}$ J

Explanation:

given information:

$q_{1}$ = 3 nC = 3 x $10^{-9}$ C

$q_{2}$ = 2 nC = 2 x $10^{-9}$ C

r = 50 cm = 0.5 m

the electric potential energy of the electron when it is at the midpoint

potential energy of the charge, F

F = k $\frac{q_{e}q}{r}$

where

k = constant (8.99 x $10^{9} Nm^{2} /C^{2}$ )

electron charge, $q_{e}$ = - 1.6 x $10^{-19}$ C

since it is measured at the midpoint,

r = $\frac{0.5}{2}$

= 0.25 m

thus,

F = $F_{1}+ F_{2}$

= k $\frac{q_{e} q_{1} }{r}$ + k $\frac{q_{e} q_{2} }{r}$

= $\frac{kq_{e} }{r}$ ( $q_{1} +q_{2}$ )

= (8.99 x $10^{9}$ )( - 1.6 x $10^{-19}$ )(3 x $10^{-9}$ +2 x $10^{-9}$ )/0.25

= - 2.9 x $10^{-17}$ J

the electric potential energy of the electron when it is 10.0 cm from the 3.00 nC charge

$r_{1}$ = 10 cm = 0.1 m

$r_{2}$ = 0.5 - 0.1 = 0.4 m

F = k $\frac{q_{e} q_{1} }{r}$ + k $\frac{q_{e} q_{2} }{r}$

= $kq_{e}$ ( $\frac{q_{1} }{r_{1} }$ + $\frac{q_{2} }{r_{2} }$ )

= (8.99 x $10^{9}$ )( - 1.6 x $10^{-19}$ )(3 x $10^{-9}$ /0.1+2 x $10^{-9}$ /0.4)

= - 5.04 x $10^{-17}$ J

Explanation:

Gravitational force between two objects having mass m₁ and m₂ at a distance R

F = G m₁ m₂ / R²

Force between baby and father F₁ = 6.67x10⁻¹¹ x 4.1 x 120 / .18²

= 1.01 x 10⁻⁶ N

b )

Force between baby and Jupiter

F₂ = 6.67x10⁻¹¹ x 1.9x 10²⁷ x 4.1 / ( 6.29 x 10¹¹ )²

= 1.31 x 10⁻⁶ N

c )

Ratio = 1.01 / 1.31

= .77

Where is the magnetic south pole compared to the geographical north pole?

Alex777 [14]

Currently, the magnetic south pole lies about ten degrees distant from the geographic north pole, and sits in the Arctic Ocean north of Alaska. The north end on a compass therefore currently points roughly towards Alaska and not exactly towards geographic north.
