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 .

A 15.0-Ω resistor and a coil are connected in series with a 6.30-V battery with negligible internal resistance and a closed swit
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

0.04328 H

0.00288 seconds

0.01326 seconds

Explanation:

V = Voltage = 6.3 V

R = Resistance = 15 Ω

L = Inductance

I = Decayed current = 0.21 A

t = Time to decay = 2 ms

Maximum Current is given by

I_0=\frac{V}{R}\\\Rightarrow I_0=\frac{6.3}{15}\\\Rightarrow I_0=0.42\ A

Current in the circuit is given by

I=I_0exp\frac{-Rt}{L}\\\Rightarrow ln\frac{I_0}{I}=\frac{Rt}{L}\\\Rightarrow L=\frac{Rt}{ln\frac{I_0}{I}}\\\Rightarrow L=\frac{15\times 2\times 10^{-3}}{ln\frac{0.42}{0.21}}\\\Rightarrow L=0.04328\ H

The inductance is 0.04328 H

Time constant is given by

\tau=\frac{L}{R}\\\Rightarrow \tau=\frac{0.04328}{15}\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.00288\ s

Time constant is 0.00288 seconds

Time required is given by

t=\tau ln\frac{I_0}{I}\\\Rightarrow t=0.00288\times ln\frac{I_0}{0.01I_0}\\\Rightarrow t=0.01326\ s

The time to reach 1% of its original value is 0.01326 seconds

A helium balloon is filled to a volume of 2.88 x 103 L at 722 mm Hg and 19°C. When the balloon is released, it rises to an alti
inn [45]

Answer:

V₂=4.57 x 10³ L

Explanation:

Given that

V₁= 2.88 x 10³ L

P₁=722 mm  Hg

T₁ = 19°C

T₁ =292 K

P₂=339 mm Hg

T₂= - 55°C

T₂=218 K

Lets take final volume = V₂

We know that ideal gas equation

PV = m R T

By applying mass conservation

\dfrac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}=\dfrac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}

\dfrac{722\times 2.88\times 10^3}{292}=\dfrac{339\times V_2}{218}

V₂=4.57 x 10³ L

Therefore volume will be 4.57 x 10³ L

Suppose a new liquid were discovered that is identical to water in every way except that it has a lower latent heat of fusion. W
Triss [41]

Answer:

lesser time

Explanation:

The latent heat of fusion is defined as the amount of heat required to convert 1 gram of water into 1 gram of ice at constant temperature called melting point.

In this situation only the state of matter is changed, the temperature of the substance remains constant.

A liquid has lower latent heat rather than water, it means it requires lesser amount of heat to fuse it , so it requires lesser amount of time to melt the ice made by this liquid.

So, it requires lesser time.
