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.

Instantaneous velocity is the velocity at a specific instant in time. I bet you are taking Honors Physics.
At the start of the 0.266 s, the object's speed was 8.26 m/s.
The question can only be talking about speed, not velocity.
Answer:
s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km
Explanation:
First we need to calculate the speed of sound at the given temperature. For this purpose we use the following formula:
v = v₀√[T/273 k]
where,
v = speed of sound at given temperature = ?
v₀ = speed of sound at 0°C = 331 m/s
T = Given Temperature = 10°C + 273 = 283 k
Therefore,
v = (331 m/s)√[283 k/273 k]
v = 337 m/s
Now, we use the following formula to calculate the distance traveled by sound:
s = vt
where,
s = distance traveled = ?
t = time taken = 90 s
Therefore,
s = (337 m/s)(90 s)
<u>s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km</u>

We may choose any length of line to represent the direction of the slope (direction vector) at that point. We could choose a line for which x = 2 and then y would have to be -½ so that the gradient is still = -½/2 = -¼. It is simply convenient to choose a unit length for x, making y = -¼ The length of the resultant of x and y is √(1²+¼²) = √(17/16) = √(17)/4 which is a direction vector. If we had taken the direction vector to be (2, ½) then we would have a resultant direction vector of √17/2. It doesn't really matter what length the direction vector is - it's job is only to show the direction. So their choice of 1 is quite arbitrary but convenient, since it is easy to work with units – that's why we use units!
Now, we know that the magnitude of the velocity vector must be 5 and the magnitude of our direction vector at the moment is √(17)/4. We therefore need to multiply this direction vector by 20/√(17) to get 5 – just try it : √(17)/4 × 20/√(17) = 5.
We could equally well have done this with (2, ½) and would have got 2½ for lambda.</span>
