The conduction velocity of an axon is determined by myelin sheath

thickness and internode distance.

Axon are structures in the neuron which is involved in the conduction of

impulses away from the cell body. Axons which have myelin sheath conduct

impulses faster than those without it.

Axons which have thicker myelin sheath and longer internode distance will

increase the conduction velocity of an axon and vice versa.

If the 50-kg crate starts from rest and achieves a velocity of v = 4 m/s

Kay [80]

Answer:

P = 227 N

Explanation:

Assuming the crate is on horizontal ground and subject to a horizontal force.

F = ma

P - μmg = ma

P = m(a + μg)

P = m(v²/2s + μg)

P = 50(4²/(2(5))+ 0.3(9.8))

P = 227 N

An automobile engine can produce 153 N · m of torque. Calculate the angular acceleration (in rad/s^2) produced if 85.2% of this

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

46.2 rad/s2

Explanation:

Angular acceleration works very similar to linear acceleration, it follows this equation:

$\gamma = \frac{Mt}{J}$

Where:

γ: angular acceleration

Mt: torque

J: moment of inertia of the load from its turning axis

Since we have the torque we just need the moment of inertia. We have to add together the moments of the drive shaft, tires, wheel walls and wheels.

The wheels act like disks. For disks the moment of inertia is:

$J = \frac{1}{2} * m * r^2$

$Jwheel = \frac{1}{2} = 15 * 0.18^2 = 0.243 kg*m^2$

The wheel walls act like annular rings, for these the moment of inertia is:

$J = \frac{1}{2} * m * (re^2 - ri^2)$

$Jwall = \frac{1}{2} * 2 * (0.32^2 - 0.18^2) = 0.07 kg * m^2$

The tread acts like a hoop, as in mass concentrated into a circunference, for these:

$J = m * r^2$

$Jtread = 10 * 0.33^2 = 1.09 kg*m^2$

The axle acts like a rod, which is the same as the disk:

$Jaxle = \frac{1}{2} * 14.1 * 0.02^2 = 0.0028 kg*m^2$

The drive shaft acts like a rod too:

$Jshaft = \frac{1}{2} * 31.7 * 0.032^2 = 0.016 kg*m^2$

SO, the total moment of inertia is:

J = 2*Jwheel + 2*Jwall + 2*Jtread + Jaxle + Jshaft

J = 2*0.243 + 2*0.07 + 2*1.09 + 0.0028 + 0.016 = 2.82 kg*m2

Finally the angular acceleration is:

$\gamma = \frac{0.852 * 153}{2.82} = 46.2 \frac{rad}{s^2}$

H. A truck starts to move from rest. If it gains the acceleration of 3 m/s2 in 5 sec,

SashulF [63]

Answer:

1. The final velocity of the truck is 15 m/s

2. The distance travelled by the truck is 37.5 m

Explanation:

1. Determination of the final velocity

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s²

Time (t) = 5 s

Final velocity (v) =?

The final velocity of the truck can be obtained as follow:

v = u + at

v = 0 + (3 × 5)

v = 0 + 15

v = 15 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the truck is 15 m/s

2. Determination of the distance travelled

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s²

Time (t) = 5 s

Distance (s) =?

The distance travelled by the truck can be obtained as follow:

s = ut + ½at²

s = (0 × 5) + (½ × 3 × 5²)

s = 0 + (½ × 3 × 25)

s = 0 + 37.5

s = 37.5 m

Therefore, the distance travelled by the truck is 37.5 m
