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 )  .

Explain how energy that comes from the outside of the Earth system drives the flow of water on surface currents.
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The ocean and atmosphere are connected. They work together to move heat and fresh water across the globe. Wind-driven and ocean-current circulations move warm water toward the poles and colder water toward the equator. ... The majority of the thermal energy at the Earth's surface is stored in the ocean.

you work at a Dave's donut shop the shop sells a dozen donuts for 6.99 dollars Dave redesigned the Box used to hold one dozen do
Fofino [41]

Answer:

A box of donuts would cost: b = 3.84 + 0.18f

First, we have to find the total cost of the donuts.

12 x 0.32 = 3.84

Next, we need to determine the cost of the box. However, we don't know the surface area, just the cost per foot. We can multiply the number of square feet of the box by $0.18 to find the cost.

So our equation could be:  b = 3.84 + 0.18f (where f is the surface area of the box in square feet)Explanation:
