You step onto a hot beach with your bare feet. A nerve impulse, generated in your foot, travels through your nervous system at a

n average speed of 127 m/s. Ow much time does it take for the impulse, which travels a distance of 1.58 m, to reach your brain?

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed = distance / time

Given speed = 127 m/s .

distance = 1.58 m

time = ?

Putting the values in the formula

127 m/s = 1.58 m / time

time = 1.58 / 127 s

= 12.44 ms .

Person 1 moves an object 10 meters and exerts a force of 50N in 5 seconds. Person 2 moves an object 10 meters and exerts a force
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work is a force time the distance moved in the direction of that force, time is not a variable. Provided that the 50 N forces were applied in the same direction, the work done is identical. Assuming both applied force and direction of motion are horizontal W = Fd = 50(10) = 500J.

If the reason that one was slower is because the  second person applied his force at an angle, let's say 60° below the horizontal, then the work done by the second person is 50cos60(10) = 250 J

Time IS a consideration for Power, the RATE of doing work. Provided the force and motion are horizontal, the first person applied twice as much Power as the second person doing an identical amount of work in half the time.

A soap bubble, when illuminated with light of frequency 5.27 Hz × 1014 Hz, appears to be especially reflective. If it is surroun
denis23 [38]

Answer:

1.07004\times 10^{-7}\ m

Explanation:

n_s = Refractive index of bubble = 1.33

f = Frequency of light = 5.27\times 10^{14}\ Hz

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

The wavelength of light is given by

\lambda=\dfrac{2n_st}{m-\dfrac{1}{2}}

Wavelength is also given by

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

m = 1 for minimum thickness

\dfrac{c}{f}=\dfrac{2n_st}{m-\dfrac{1}{2}}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{m-\dfrac{1}{2}c}{2n_sf}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{(1-\dfrac{1}{2})\times 3\times 10^8}{2\times 1.33\times 5.27\times 10^{14}}\\\Rightarrow t=1.07004\times 10^{-7}\ m

The minimum thickness is 1.07004\times 10^{-7}\ m

A disk has 128 tracks of 32 sectors each, on each surface of eight platters. The disk spins at 3600 RPM and takes 15 ms to move
Serga [27]

Answer:

the longest time needed to read an arbitrary sector located anywhere on the disk is 2971.24 ms

Explanation:

 Given the data in the question;

first we determine the rotational latency

Rotational latency = 60/(3600×2) = 0.008333 s = 8.33 ms

To get the longest time, lets assume the sector will be found at the last track.

hence we will access all the track, meaning that 127 transitions will be done;

so the track changing time = 127 × 15 = 1905 ms

also, we will look for the sectors, for every track rotations that will be done;

128 × 8.33 = 1066.24 ms

∴The Total Time = 1066.24 ms + 1905 ms

Total Time = 2971.24 ms

Therefore, the longest time needed to read an arbitrary sector located anywhere on the disk is 2971.24 ms
