Answer:

Sample Response: The nervous system helps the body to respond to internal and external stimuli. Sometimes the stimuli can be dangerous so the nervous system also protects the body. The basic unit of the nervous system is the neuron.

The nervous system is a complex collection of nerves and specialized cells known as neurons that transmit signals between different parts of the body.

The somatic system consists of nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord with muscles and sensory receptors in the skin.

The basic unit of the nervous system is the "nerve cell," called "neuron

A copper cable needs to carry a current of 160 A with a power loss of only 2.0 W/m. What is the required radius of the copper ca

lesantik [10]

Answer:

The radius of the cable is 0.0083 m or 8.3 mm.

Explanation:

The resistance of copper cable of 1 meter length will be given by

$R_{cable} = \frac{\rho \times l}{a}$ .... (i)

where the resistivity of copper is $\rho = 1.7 \times 10^{-8} \Omega.m$ , and l is the length of the wire which is considered to be 1m, and a is the cross sectional area of the wire in $m^{2}$ .

From the formula of power we know that, $P = I^2 R$ .... (ii)

Therefore 2 W/m = $(160)^2 \times R$ .... (iii)

where the resistance,R, actually means the resistance of the cable per meter.

Therefore R ( resistance of cable per meter)

= $\frac{2}{160^2} = 7.812 \times 10^{-5}$ ohms / meter. .... (iv)

Therefore from (i)

$7.812 \times 10^{-5}$ = $\frac{1.7 \times 10^{-8} \times 1}{a} = \frac{1.7 \times 10^{-8} \times 1}{\pi r^{2} }$ ..... (v)

where cross sectional area of the cable, a = $\pi r^2$ ,

where r is the radius of the cable, and length of cable,l = 1m.

Therefore r = $\sqrt{\frac{ 1.7 \times 10^{-8}}{\pi \times 7.812 \times 10^{-5} } } = 0.0083m = 8.3 mm$

C1=4F, C2=4F, C3=2F, C4=4F, C5= 9.2 F. Calculate the equivalent capacitance

grin007 [14]

The equivalent capacitance between A and B points is 2.5F.

<h3>What is parallel plate capacitor?</h3>

The two parallel plates placed at a distance apart used to store charge when electric supply is on.

The capacitance of a capacitor is given by

C = ε₀ A/d

From the given circuit C1, C2 and C3, C4 are in parallel C1=4F, C2=4F, C3=2F, C4=4F, C5= 9.2 F

C1, C2 = 4 +4 =8F

C3, C4 = 2 +4 =6F

Now , all capacitors are in series.

Total equivalent capacitance is
1 / Ceq = 1/ 8 +1/6 +1/ 9.2

Ceq = 2.5 F

Thus, the equivalent capacitance between A and B points is 2.5F.

What is the danger to spacecraft and astronauts from micrometeoroids?

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Suppose the micrometeoroid weighed 1 g = .001 kg

Suppose also the spacecraft were moving at 18,000 mph (1.5 hrs per rev)

Usually, the smaller particle would be moving but for simplicity suppose that it were stationary wrt the ground

v = 18000 miles / hr * 1500 m/mile / 3600 sec/hr = 7500 m/s

KE = 1/2 * .001 kg * (7500 m)^2 = 28,125 Joules

One can see that 28000 Joules could be damaging amount of energy

You are given a copper bar of dimensions 3 cm × 5 cm × 8 cm and asked to attach leads to it in order to make a resistor. (a) If

dem82 [27]

Answer:

A) If you want to achieve the SMALLEST possible resistance, you should attach the leads to the opposite faces that measure b) 5 cm by 8 cm.

B) If you want to achieve the LARGEST possible resistance, you should attach the leads to the opposite faces that measure a) 3 cm × 5 cm

Explanation:

Resistivity is directly proportional to lenght and inversely properly to cross sectional area.

For the first case, 5 cm by 8 cm gives the largest area and leave 3 cm as the lenght. The resistivity of the metal will be smallest in these dimensions.

For the second case, 3 cm by 5 cm gives the smallest area, leaving 8 cm as the lenght. This is the maximum arrangement that can give the largest resistance possible.
