Conduction of a nerve impulse would be the fastest in _________

Physics
1 answer:
Vinil7 [7]2 years ago

The options of the given are:

A. A large diameter myelinated fiber

B. A small diameter myelinated fiber

C. A large unmyelinated fiber

D. A small unmyelinated fiber

E. A small fiber with multiple Schwann cells

Answer: Option A, A large diameter myelinated fiber.

Explanation:

The conduction of the nerve impulse would be greatest in the myelinated fiber because the main function of the myelin sheath is to increase the speed of the impulse at which the electrical signals propagate.

In case of the unmyelinated sheath the nerve impulse travels slowly as the conduction waves but in case of the large diameter myelinated sheath the signals travel via saltatory conduction( hop)

In this type of propagation the signals are transferred from the node of Ranvier in one neuron to next node which increases the overall velocity of the action potentials.

Block b rests upon a smooth surface. if the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between a and b are μs = 0.4 and μk = 0.
aliina [53]

Given

Weight of the block A, Wa = 20 lb, weight of block B Wb = 50 lb. Applied force to block A, P = 6lb, coefficient of static friction µs = 0.4, coefficient of kinetic friction µk = 0.3. If a force P is applied to the body, no relative motion will take place until the applied force is equal to the force of friction Ff, which is acting opposite to the direction of motion. Magnitude of static force of friction between block A and block B, Fs = µsN, where N is reaction force acting on block A. Now, resolve the forces Fx = max. P = (mA + mB)a,

 

6 = (20 / 32.2 + 50 / 32.2)a

 

2.173a = 6

 

A = 2.76 ft/s^2

 

To check slipping occurs between block A and block B, consider block A:

P – Ff = mAaA

6 – Ff = 1.71

Ff = 4.29 lb

 

And also,

N = wA. We know static friction,

Fs = µsN

Fs = 0.4 x 20

Fs = 8lb

Frictional force is less than static friction. Ff < Fs

<span>Therefors, acceleration of block A, aA = 2.76 ft/s^2, acceleration of block B aB = 2.76 ft/s^2</span>

You’ve been given the challenge of balancing a uniform, rigid meter-stick with mass M = 95 g on a pivot. Stacked on the 0-cm end
Mariulka [41]

Answer: d = 4750n/3.1+95n

Explanation:

Using the principle of moment to solve the question.

Sum of clockwise moments = sum of anti clockwise moments

Since there are n identical coins with mass 3.1g placed at point 0cm, 1 coin will have mass of 3.1/n grams

Taking moment about the pivot,

Mass 3.1/n grams will move anti-clockwisely while the mass 95g will move in the clockwise direction.

Since its a meter rule (100cm) the distance from the center mass(95g) to the pivot will be 50-d (check attachment for diagram).

To get 'd'

We have 3.1/n × d = 95 × (50-d)

3.1d/n = 4750-95d

3.1d = 4750n-95dn

3.1d+95dn=4750n

d(3.1+95n) = 4750n

d = 4750n/3.1+95n

A block of size 20m x 10 mx 5 m exerts a force of 30N. Calculate the
Orlov [11]

Answer:

We know that force applied per unit area is called pressure.

Pressure = Force/ Area

When force is constant than pressure is inversely proportional to area.

1- Calculating the area of three face:

A1 = 20m x 10 m =200 Square meter

A2 = 10 mx 5 m = 50 Square meter

A3 = 20m x 5 m = 100 Square meter

Therefore A1 is maximum and A2 is minimum.

2- Calculate pressure:

P = F/ A1 = 30 / 200 = 0.15 Nm⁻²  ( minimum pressure)

P = F / A2 = 30 / 50 = 0.6 Nm⁻²   ( maximum pressure)

Hence greater the area less will be the pressure and vice versa.
