The nervous system has three general functions: a sensory function, an interpretative function and a motor function.
1. Sensory nerves gather information from inside the body and the outside environment. The nerves then carry the information to the central nervous system (CNS).
2. Sensory information brought to the CNS is processed and interpreted.
3. Motor nerve cells convey information from the CNS to the muscles and glands of the body.
The nervous system is responsible for coordinating all of the body's activities.
Answer:
1.6 ft/min
Explanation:
Since trough is 10 ft long and water is filled at the rate of 12ft3/min. We can calculate the rate of water filled with respect to area:
= 12 / 10 = 1.2ft2/min
As the water level rises, so does the water surface, or the bottom side of the isosceles triangles. In fact we can calculate the bottom side when the trough is half foot deep:
= 3 / 2 = 1.5 ft
The rate of change in water level would be the same as calculating the height of the isosceles triangles knowing its base
= 1.2 * 2 / 1.5 = 1.6 ft/min
Input heat, Qin = 4 x 10⁵ J
Output heat, Qout = 3.5 x 10⁵ J
From the first Law of thermodynamics, obtain useful work performed as
W = Qin - Qout
= 0.5 x 10⁵ J
By definition, the efficiency is
η = W/Qin
= 100*(0.5 x 10⁵/4 x 10⁵)
= 12.5%
Answer: The efficiency is 12.5%
