Answer:

9.965 nF

Explanation:

The capacitance of the axon C = εA/d where ε = dielectric constant = 24.78 × 10⁻¹² F/m, A = surface area of axon = 2πrL where r = radius of axon = 8 μm = 8 × 10⁻⁶ m and L = length of axon = 8 cm = 8 × 10⁻² m and d = thickness of membrane = 0.01 μm = 0.01 × 10⁻⁶ m

So, C = εA/d

C = ε2πrL/d

Substituting the of the values variables into the equation, we have

C = ε2πrL/d

C =  24.78 × 10⁻¹² F/m × 2π × 8 × 10⁻⁶ m × 8 × 10⁻² m/0.01 × 10⁻⁶ m

C =  9964.63 × 10⁻²⁰ Fm/0.01 × 10⁻⁶ m

C =  996463 × 10⁻¹⁴ F

C = 9.96463 × 10⁻⁹ F

C = 9.96463 nF

C ≅ 9.965 nF

Images formed by a convex mirror are always ​
gladu [14]

Answer:

Images formed by a convex mirror are always ​virtual

Explanation:

A virtual image is always created by a convex mirror, and it is always situated behind the mirror. The picture is vertical and situated at the focus point when the item is far away from the mirror. As the thing approaches the mirror, the image follows suit and increases until it reaches the same height as the object.

The distance between two slits is 1.50 *10-5 m. A beam of coherent light of wavelength 600 nm illuminates these slits, and the d
Fed [463]

Answer: y = 2.4×10^-6m or y= 2.4μm

Explanation: The formulae for the distance between the central bright fringe to any other fringe in pattern is given as

y = R×mλ/d

Where y = distance between nth fringe and Central bright spot fringe.

m = position of fringe = 4

λ = wavelength of light= 600nm = 600×10^-9 m

d = distance between slits = 1.50×10^-5m

R = distance between slit and screen = 2m

y = 2 × 4 × 600×10^-9/2

y = 4800×10^-9/2

y = 2400 × 10^-9

y = 2.4×10^-6m or y= 2.4μm

Which of newton's laws explains why your hands get red when you press them hard against a wall
kirill115 [55]
The Newton’s law that explains why the hands get red when you press them hard against a wall is Newton’s third law. When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite direction on the first body.
