Answer:

The peripheral system allows the brain and spinal cord to receive and send information to other areas of the body, which allows us to react to stimuli in our environment.

The nerves that make up the peripheral nervous system are actually the axons or bundles of axons from nerve cells or neurons.

The peripheral nervous system
The PNS functions via a series of reflex arc circuits with afferent and efferent arms controlled by the CNS. An understanding of the many PNS disorders requires an understanding of the complexities of the macro- and microanatomy of peripheral nerves, as well as their molecular biology, immunology, and pathophysiology

What effect does air have on the acceleration of aircraft during flight?

scoundrel [369]

The effect would be the altitude of the air, the higher you go up the closer you are to space we’re there’s no oxygen and everything moves slow so when your trying to fly across the world it could feel like your moving slower

To 3 significant digits, what is the temperature of water in degrees C, if its pressure is 350 kPa and the quality is 0.01

liq [111]

Answer:

138.9 °C

Explanation:

The datum of quality is saying to us that liquid water is in equilibrium with steam. Saturated water table gives information about this liquid-vapour equilibrium. In figure attached, it can be seen that at 350 kPa of pressure (or 3.5 bar) equilibrium temperature is 138.9 °C

Current density is given in cylindrical coordinates as J = −106z1.5az A/m2 in the region 0 ≤ rho ≤ 20 µm; for rho ≥ 20 µm, J = 0

Naily [24]

Question:

Current density is given in cylindrical coordinates as J = −10^6z^1.5az A/m² in the region 0 ≤ ρ ≤ 20 µm; for ρ ≥ 20 µm, J = 0.

(a) Find the total current crossing the surface z = 0.1 m in the az direction.

(b) If the charge velocity is 2 × 10^6 m/s at z = 0.1 m, find ρν there.

Answer:

a. -39.8μA

b. -15.81mC/m³

c. 29.05m/s

Explanation:

Given

Density = J = −10^6z^1.5az A/m²

Region: 0 ≤ ρ ≤ 20 µm

ρ ≥ 20 µm

J = 0.

a. Total current is calculated by.

J * ½((ρ1)² - (ρ0)²) * 2 π * φdza.

Where J = Density = -10^6 * z^1.5

ρ1 = Upper bound of ρ = 20

ρ0 = Lower bound of ρ = 0

π = 22/7

φdza = 10^-6

z = 0.1

Total current

= -10^6 * z^1.5 * ½(20² - 0²) * 2 * 22/7 * 10^-6

= 10^6 * 0.1^1.5 * ½(20² - 0²) * 2 * 22/7 * 10^-6

= −39.7543477278310

= -39.8μA

b. Calculating velocity charge density at (ρv)

Density (J) = ρv * V

Where J = Density = -10^6 * z^1.5

V = 2 * 10^6

z = 0.1

Substitute the above values

-10^6 * 0.1 ^1.5 = ρv * 2 * 10^6

ρv = (-10^6 * 0.1^1.5)/(2 * 10^6)

ρv = -0.1^1.5/(2)

ρv = -0.015811388300841

ρv = -0.01581 --------- Approximated

ρv = -15.81mC/m³

c. Calculating Velocity

Velocity = J/V

Where Velocity Charge Density = -2000 C/m3

Where J = -10^6 * z^1.5

z = 0.15

J = -10^6 * 0.15^1.5

J = -58094.75019311125

Velocity = -58094.75019311125/-2000

Velocity = 29.047375096555625m/s

Velocity = 29.05m/s

(35-39) A student travels on a school bus in the middle of winter from home to school. The school bus temperature is 68.0° F. Th

arlik [135]

Answer:

The net energy transfer from the student's body during the 20-min ride to school is 139.164 BTU.

Explanation:

From Heat Transfer we determine that heat transfer rate due to electromagnetic radiation ( $\dot Q$ ), measured in BTU per hour, is represented by this formula:

$\dot Q = \epsilon\cdot A\cdot \sigma \cdot (T_{s}^{4}-T_{b}^{4})$ (1)

Where:

$\epsilon$ - Emissivity, dimensionless.

$A$ - Surface area of the student, measured in square feet.

$\sigma$ - Stefan-Boltzmann constant, measured in BTU per hour-square feet-quartic Rankine.

$T_{s}$ - Temperature of the student, measured in Rankine.

$T_{b}$ - Temperature of the bus, measured in Rankine.

If we know that $\epsilon = 0.90$ , $A = 16.188\,ft^{2}$ , $\sigma = 1.714\times 10^{-9}\,\frac{BTU}{h\cdot ft^{2}\cdot R^{4}}$ , $T_{s} = 554.07\,R$ and $T_{b} = 527.67\,R$ , then the heat transfer rate due to electromagnetic radiation is:

$\dot Q = (0.90)\cdot (16.188\,ft^{2})\cdot \left(1.714\times 10^{-9}\,\frac{BTU}{h\cdot ft^{2}\cdot R^{4}} \right)\cdot [(554.07\,R)^{4}-(527.67\,R)^{4}]$
