The conduction velocity of an axon is determined by:
Marina86 [1]

The conduction velocity of an axon is determined by myelin sheath

thickness and internode distance.

Axon are structures in the neuron which is involved in the conduction of

impulses away from the cell body. Axons which have myelin sheath conduct

impulses faster than those without it.

Axons which have thicker myelin sheath and longer internode distance will

increase the conduction velocity of an axon and vice versa.

A bumper cart has a mass of 200 kg and has a protective bumper around it that behaves like a spring. The spring constant is 5000
34kurt
Part A:
For this part we’re assuming all the kinetic energy of the moving bumper car is converted into elastic potential energy in the spring since the car is brought to rest. Therefore you can find the total kinetic energy to get your answer:

KE = ½ mv^2
KE = ½ (200)(8)^2
KE = 6400 J

Part B:
Now you can use Hooke’s law to find the force:

F = kx
F = (5000)(0.2)
F = 1000 N

You plan to take your hair blower to europe, where the electrical outlets put out 240 v instead of the 120 v seen in the united
Dmitrij [34]
P = U × I
I = P / U = 1600W / 120V = 13.4A
P = 240V × 13.4A = 3216W

If your hair blower isnt rated for 220- 230V(this is the voltage in EU) you are most likely going to burn it.

A horizontal spring with spring constant 210 Nm is compressed by 20 cm and then used to launch a 250 g box across the floor. The
Damm [24]

Answer:

ugmd = 1/2 kx²

d = (1/2 kx²) / (ugm)

= (1/2 * 250 N/m * (0.2 m)²) / (0.23 * 9.81 m/s² * 0.3 kg)

= 7.4 m

ugmd = 1/2 mv²

v = √2ugd

= √(2(0.23)(9.81 m/s²)(7.4 m)

= 5.8 m/s
