The axoplasm of an axon has a resistance Rax. The axon's membrane has both a resistance (Rmem) and a capacitance (Cmem). A singl

e segment of an axon can be modeled by a circuit with Rmem and Cmem in parallel with each other and in series with an open switch, a battery, and Rax?.
Imagine the voltage of the battery is ?V?.

Imagine that after a very long time there is a current I going through the battery. The potential difference across the membrane can be written as I Rmem.

Write down another expression for the potential difference across the membrane using all or some of the given variables, except Rmem.

Answer:

The expression is Vmem = ΔV - I*Rax

Explanation:

According to the picture, if switch S is closed, the Cmem will be short. If Vcap = 0, the current flows through the capacitor only (not through Rmem), thus Vmem = 0 after closing S.

When C is fully charged, then we have:

Vmem = ΔV - I*Rax

Consider a person standing in an elevator that is moving at constant speed upward. The person, of mass m, has two forces acting
larisa [96]

Answer:

The weight of the person has a smaller magnitude.

Explanation:

For an observer in inertial frame of reference for the person in the elevator Newton's Second Law can be written as

Normal reaction acts upwards

Weight acts downwards

\sum F_{v}=ma_{v}\\\\N-mg=m\times a_{v}\\\\m\times a_{v}> 0\\\\\therefore N-mg> 0\\\\\therefore N> mg

Here

N is the normal reaction force

mg is the weight of the person

g is acceleration due to gravity

A 2400-kg satellite is in a circular orbit around a planet. the satellite travels with a constant speed of 6670 m/s. the radius
Ad libitum [116K]
The gravitational force exerted on the satellite is called the centrifugal force, the force keeping it orbiting to the planet. Its formula is F= mass times the square of the velocity all over the radius.Thus,

F = 2400 * 6670^2 * (1/8.92x10^6) 
F = 11,970 N

I hope I was able to help you. Have a good day.

For a machine with 35-cm -diameter wheels, what rotational frequency (in rpm) do the wheels need to pitch a 85 mph fastball?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The rotational frequency must be 2073.56 rpm

Explanation:

Notice that we need to obtain a rotational frequency in "rpm" (revolutions per minute), so we better start by converting all the given information into the appropriate units:

The magnitude of the velocity for the pitch is given in miles per hour, while the diameter of the machine's wheels is given in cm. Let's reduce all units of length into meters(using the metric system), and the units of time into minutes.

Conversion of the 85 mph  speed into meters per minute:

Recall that 1 mile equals 1609.34 meters, and that 1 hour equals 60 minutes, so we write:

85\,\frac{miles}{hour} = 85\,\frac{1609.34\,m}{60\,min} =2279.898\,\frac{m}{min}

which can be rounded to approximately 2280 m/min.

We also convert the 35 cm diameter into meters:

diameter = 0.35 m

Now we use the equation that relates angular velocity (w) and the radius (R) of the circular movement, with tangential velocity (v_t), in order to obtain the angular velocity of the wheel:

v_t=w*R\\w=\frac{v_t}{R}

but recall that this angular velocity is given in radians per unit of time. So first find the radius of the wheel (half its diameter). R = 0.175 m

So we have:

w=\frac{2280}{0.175}\frac{radians}{min} \\w=13028.57\,\frac{radians}{min}

And now, recalling that 2\pi radians equal one revolution, we convert the angular velocity ot revolutions per minute by dividing the "w" we found by 2\pi :

rotational frequency = \frac{13028.57}{2\pi} \frac{rev}{min} = 2073.56 \frac{rev}{min}

A heat recovery system​ (HRS) is used to conserve heat from the surroundings and supply it to the Mars Rover. The HRS fluid loop
Annette [7]

Answer: Volume of Freon = 12.23.10^{3}L

Explanation: First, the temperatures have to be in the same unit, so all the tmeperatures is transformed into Kelvin:

T₁ = 192K

T₂ = \frac{5}{9}. (F - 32)+273.15

T₂ = \frac{5}{9}. (- 65 - 32)+273.15

T₂ = 219.26K.

Second, BTU is an unit of energy. It can be transformed into Joules by the relation 1BTU = 1055.06J.

Q = 1055.06 . 46.9 = 49482.314J

The letter Q represents Heat and is calculated as Q = m.Cp.ΔT, where:

m is mass of the element;

Cp is the heat capacity specific for each element;

ΔT is the difference between the final and initial temperature;

Third, it will be needed the properties of the Freon:

Freon (CF2Cl2) = 120.91g/mol; Cp = 74J/mol.K; ρ = 1.49kg/m³

Fourth, we calculate the mass of Freon necessary for the remove of 46.9BTU of energy from the system:

Q = m.Cp.ΔT

m=\frac{Q}{c(T-T_{0} )}

m = \frac{49482.314}{74(219.26-192)}

m = 18228.214g or m=18.228Kg

Fifth, using the density of Freon, Volume can be found

ρ = \frac{m}{V}

V = m / ρ

V = 18.228 / 1.49

V = 12.23m³

As SI for density is Kg/m³, the volume found is in m³.

Cubic meters is related to Liters as the following: 1m³=1000l.

So, volume of Freon = 12.23.10^{3}L

The volume of Freon needed is 12.23.10^{3}L.

You slip a wrench over a bolt. Taking the origin at the bolt, the other end of the wrench is at x=18cm, y=5.5cm. You apply a for
mart [117]

Answer:

The torque on the wrench is 4.188 Nm

Explanation:

Let r = xi + yj where is the distance of the applied force to the origin.

Since x = 18 cm = 0.18 cm and y = 5.5 cm = 0.055 cm,

r = 0.18i + 0.055j

The applied force f = 88i - 23j

The torque τ = r × F

So, τ = r × F = (0.18i + 0.055j) × (88i - 23j) = 0.18i × 88i + 0.18i × -23j + 0.055j × 88i + 0.055j × -23j

= (0.18 × 88)i × i + (0.18 × -23)i × j + (0.055 × 88)j × i + (0.055 × -22)j × j  

= (0.18 × 88) × 0 + (0.18 × -23) × k + (0.055 × 88) × (-k) + (0.055 × -22) × 0   since i × i = 0, j × j = 0, i × j = k and j × i = -k

= 0 - 4.14k + 0.0484(-k) + 0

= -4.14k - 0.0484k

= -4.1884k Nm

≅ -4.188k Nm

So, the torque on the wrench is 4.188 Nm
