The speed of propagation of the action potential (an electrical signal) in a nerve cell depends (inversely) on the diameter of t

he axon (nerve fiber). If the nerve cell connecting the spinal cord to your feet is 1.3 m long, and the nerve impulse speed is 33 m/s, how long (in s) does it take for the nerve signal to travel this distance?

3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed of electrical nerve signal = 33 m /s

Distance travelled = 1.3 m

time taken = distance / speed

= 1.3 / 33  

= .039 s

= 39 ms ( millisecond )  .

A roller coaster, traveling with an initial speed of 21 m/s, decelerates uniformly at -3.5
liberstina [14]

Answer:

S = Vo t + 1/2 a t^2       distance traveled

t = (V2 - V1) / a = (0 - 21) / -3.5 = 6 sec       time to stop

S = 21 * 6 - 3.5 * 6^2 / 2 = 63 m        distance traveled
