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

What is the speaker’s power output if the sound intensity level is 102 dBdB at a distance of 25 mm ? Express your answer to two
lesya [120]

Answer:

Power  = 124.50 W

Explanation:

Given that:

The Sound intensity of a speaker output is 102 dB

and the distance r = 25 m

For the intensity of sound,

\beta (dB)= 10 \  log_{10 } (\dfrac{I}{I_o})

where;

the threshold of hearing   I_o = 10^{-12} (W/m^2)

\dfrac{102 }{10}= log_{10}( \dfrac{I}{10^{-12}})

10^{10.2} =  \dfrac{I}{10^{-12}}

I = 10^{10.2} \times 10^{-12}

I = 0.01585 W/m²

If we recall, we know remember that ;

Power = Intensity × A rea

Power = 0.01585 W/m² × 4 × 3.142 × (25 m)²

Power  = 124.50 W

Explain what an exoskeleton is and what it is made of.
sergey [27]
The bodies of arthropods are supported, not by internal bones, but by a hardened exoskeleton<span> made of </span>chitin<span>, a substance produced by many non-arthropods as well. In arthropods, the nonliving exoskeleton is like a form-fitting suit of armor. It is produced by the "skin" and then hardens into a protective outer-covering.</span>

A river flows at 2m/s. The velocity of a ferry relative to the shore is 4m /s at right angle to the current. What is the velocit
monitta

The velocity of the ferry relative to the current is 4.5 m/s.

<h3>Relative velocity</h3>
  • Relative velocity is the velocity of a body as observed from the reference point of another body either stationary or in motion.

Since the river is flowing parallel to the shore and the ferry is moving perpendicular to the shore, their velocities are at right angles to each other.

The two velocities form a right angled-triangle of sides 2, 4 and a hypotenuse which gives the relative velocity of the ferry to the current.

Using Pythagoras rule:

  • c² = a² + b²
  • Let c be the hypotenuse
  • a =  velocity of the ferry, and
  • b = the velocity of the current, and

c² = 4² + 2²

c² = 16 + 4

c = 20

c = √20

c = 4.47 m/s

c ≈ 4.5 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the ferry relative to the current is 4.5 m/s.
