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?

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 key falls from a bridge that is 32 m above the water. It falls directly into a model boat, moving with constant velocity, that
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Speed of the boat, v = 4.31 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the bridge, h = 32 m

The model boat is 11 m from the point of impact when the key was released, d = 11 m

Firstly, we will find the time needed for the boat to get in this position using second equation of motion as :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Here, u = 0 and a = g

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 32}{9.8}}

t = 2.55 seconds

Let v is the speed of the boat. It can be calculated as :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

v=\dfrac{11\ m}{2.55\ s}

v = 4.31 m/s

So, the speed of the boat is 4.31 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A circular plate of 500-mm diameter is maintained at T1 = 600 K and is positioned coaxial to a conical shape. The back side of t
drek231 [11]
For part a)
Since the conical surface is not exposed to the radiation coming from the walls only from the circular plate and assuming steady state, the temperature of the conical surface is also equal to the temperature of the circular plate. T2 = 600 K

For part b)
To maintain the temperature of the circular plate, the power required would be calculated using:
Q = Aσ(T₁⁴ - Tw⁴)
Q = π(500x10^-3)²/4 (5.67x10^-8)(600⁴ - 300⁴)
Q = 5410.65 W
