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 )  .

The musical tone a piano has a frequency of 346HZ and a wavelength of 1.3 M what is the speed of the sound
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

v= 449.8 m/s

Explanation:

Given data

Frequency=  346Hz

Wave length= 1.4m

The expression below is used to find the speed

v= f \lambda\\\\

substitute

v= 346*1.3\\\\v= 449.8 m/s

Hence the speed is v= 449.8 m/s

If two objects A and B have the same kinetic energy but A has three times the momentum of B, what is the ratio of their inertias
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

\frac{inertia_B}{inertia_A}=9

Explanation:

First of all, let's remind that:

- The kinetic energy of an object is given by K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2, where m is the mass and v is the speed

- The momentum of an object is given by p=mv

- The inertia of an object is proportional to its mass, so we can write I=km, where k just indicates a constant of proportionality

In this problem, we have:

- K_A = K_B (the two objects have same kinetic energy)

- p_A = 3 p_B (A has three times the momentum of B)

Re-writing both equation we have:

\frac{1}{2}m_A v_A^2 = \frac{1}{2}m_B v_B^2\\m_A v_A = 3 m_B v_B

If we divide first equation by second one we get

v_A = 3 v_B

And if we substitute it into the first equation we get

m_A (3 v_B)^2 = m_B v_B^2\\9 m_A v_B^2 = m_B v_B^2\\m_B = 9 m_A

So, B has 9 times more mass than A, and so B has 9 times more inertia than A, and their ratio is:

\frac{I_B}{I_A}=\frac{km_B}{km_A}=\frac{9m_A}{m_A}=9

A child whirls a ball in a vertical circle. Assuming the speed of the ball is constant (an approximation), when would the tensio
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

C. At the bottom of the circle.

Explanation:

Lets take

Radius of the circle = r

Mass = m

Tension = T

Angular speed = ω

The radial acceleration towards = a

a= ω² r

Weight due to gravity = mg

<h3>At the bottom condition</h3>

T - m g = m a

T =  m ω² r  + m g

<h3>At the top condition</h3>

T + m g = m a

T=  m ω² r -m g

From above equation we can say that tension is grater when ball at bottom of the vertical circle.

Therefore the answer is C.

C. At the bottom of the circle.
