The resistance of the body varies from approximately 500 kΩ (when it is very dry) to about 1.00kΩ (when it is wet). The maximum

safe current is about 5.00 mA. At 10.0mA or above, muscle contractions can occur that may be fatal.
a)What is the largest potential difference that a person can safely touch if his body is wet?

b)Is this result within the range of common household voltages?

Answer:

you absolute buffoon Use Ohms' Law:   V = RI

V = (1x10^3)(5x10^-3) = 5 volts

Yes, this is in the range of normal household voltages.

X- rays with a wavelgnth of 0.0700 nm diffract from a crystal. Two adjacne angels of x-ray diffraciton are 45.6 and 21.0 degrees
zhenek [66]

Answer:

0.15 nm

Explanation:

d = Distance between the atomic planes

m = Order

\theta_{m} = First angle = 45.6^{\circ}

\theta_{m+1} = Adjacent angle = 21^{\circ}

\lambda = Wavelength = 0.07 nm

From Bragg's relation we know

2d\cos\theta_{m}=m\lambda

2d\cos45.6^{\circ}=m0.07

2d\cos\theta_{m+1}=(m+1)\lambda

2d\cos21^{\circ}=(m+1)0.07\\\Rightarrow 2d\cos21^{\circ}=m(0.07)+0.07

So

2d\cos21^{\circ}=2d\cos45.6^{\circ}+0.07\\\Rightarrow 2d(\cos21^{\circ}-\cos45.6^{\circ})=0.07\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{0.07}{2(\cos21^{\circ}-\cos45.6^{\circ})}\\\Rightarrow d=0.14962\ \text{nm}

The distance between the atomic planes is 0.15 nm.

Given the following steps: 1. voltage gated potassium channels close; 2. threshold; 3. undershoot; 4. stimulus channels open; 5.
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Answer:

4, 2, 5, 3, 1

Explanation:

The neuron remains at RMP unless stimulated. The stimulus results in opening of stimulus channels, this causes depolarization. if the extent of depolarization reaches to the level of threshold, the sodium and potassium channels begin opening but potassium channels are slow to open. Hence at first sodium goes out causing further depolarization until it reaches the peak at which the potassium channels open and the sodium channels close. This causes the potassium to rush our causing repolarization i.e. return of the membrane potential to RMP but the potassium channels are slow to close and it leads to hyperpolarization (undershoot) making the membrane potential more negative due to excessive movement of potassium outside the cell. Once the potassium channels close, the leak channels and Na K pump acts to return the potential to RMP.

What type of relationship exists between the length of a wire and the resistance, if all other factors remain the same?
jek_recluse [69]
Resistance of the wire can be calculated using the following rule:
R = (ρ*L) / A 
where:
R is the resistance
ρ is the resistivity of the material of the wire
L is the length of the wire
A is the area of the wire

From the above relation, we can deduce that:
The resistance of the wire is directly proportional to its length assuming all other factors are constant
