Conduction of a nerve impulse would be the fastest in _________

Physics
1 answer:
Vinil7 [7]2 years ago
8 0

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.

Sayid made a chart listing data of two colliding objects. A 5-column table titled Collision: Two Objects Stick Together with 2 r
Alborosie

Answer:

6 m/s is the missing final velocity

Explanation:

From the data table we extract that there were two objects (X and Y) that underwent an inelastic collision, moving together after the collision as a new object with mass equal the addition of the two original masses, and a new velocity which is the unknown in the problem).

Object X had a mass of 300 kg, while object Y had a mass of 100 kg.

Object's X initial velocity was positive (let's imagine it on a horizontal axis pointing to the right) of 10 m/s. Object Y had a negative velocity (imagine it as pointing to the left on the horizontal axis) of -6 m/s.

We can solve for the unknown, using conservation of momentum in the collision: Initial total momentum = Final total momentum (where momentum is defined as the product of the mass of the object times its velocity.

In numbers, and calling P_{xi} the initial momentum of object X and P_{yi} the initial momentum of object Y, we can derive the total initial momentum of the system: P_{total}_i=P_{xi}+P_{yi}= 300*10 \frac{kg*m}{s} -100*6\frac{kg*m}{s} =\\=(3000-600 )\frac{kg*m}{s} =2400 \frac{kg*m}{s}

Since in the collision there is conservation of the total momentum, this initial quantity should equal the quantity for the final mometum of the stack together system (that has a total mass of 400 kg):

Final momentum of the system: M * v_f=400kg * v_f

We then set the equality of the momenta (total initial equals final) and proceed to solve the equation for the unknown(final velocity of the system):

2400 \frac{kg*m}{s} =400kg*v_f\\\frac{2400}{400} \frac{m}{s} =v_f\\v_f=6 \frac{m}{s}

A 54 kg man holding a 0.65 kg ball stands on a frozen pond next to a wall. He throws the ball at the wall with a speed of 12.1 m
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The velocity of the man is 0.144 m/s

Explanation:

This is a case of conservation of momentum.

The momentum of the moving ball before it was caught must equal the momentum of the man and the ball after he catches the ball.

Mass of ball = 0.65 kg

Mass of the man = 54 kg

Velocity of the ball = 12.1 m/s

Before collision, momentum of the ball = mass x velocity

= 0.65 x 12.1 = 7.865 kg-m/s

After collision the momentum of the man and ball system is

(0.65 + 54)Vf = 54.65Vf

Where Vf is their final common velocity.

Equating the initial and final momentum,

7.865 = 54.65Vf

Vf = 7.865/54.65 = 0.144 m/s

The Lamborghini Huracan has an initial acceleration of 0.85g. Its mass, with a driver, is 1510 kg. If an 80 kg passenger rode al
SashulF [63]

Answer:

7.9 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

Explanation:

Take the fact that mass is inversely proportional to accelertation:

m ∝ a

Therefore m = a, but because we are finding the change in acceleration, we would set our problem up to look more like this:

\frac{m_{1} }{m_{2} } = \frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} } \\

Using algebra, we can rearrange our equation to find the final acceleration, a_{2}:

a_{2}  = \frac{a_{1}*m_{1}  }{m_{2} } \\

Before plugging everything in, since you are being asked to find acceleration, you will want to convert 0.85g to m/s^2. To do this, multiply by g, which is equal to 9.8 m/s^2:

0.85g * 9.8 \frac{m }{s^{2} } = 8.33 \frac{m }{s^{2} }

Plug everything in:

7.9 \frac{m }{s^{2} } = \frac{ 8.33\frac{m}{s^{2} }*1510kg }{1590kg}

(1590kg the initial weight plus the weight of the added passenger)

Given that average speed is distance traveled divided by time, determine the values of m and n when the time it takes a beam of
schepotkina [342]
If speed = distance/time , then time = speed/distance.

So...

Speed of light = 3*10^8(m/s)
Average distance from Earth to Sun = 149.6*10^9(m)

Therefore, t=(3*10^8(m/s))/(149.6*10^9(m))

I hope this was a helpful explanation, please reply if you have further questions about the problem.

Good luck!

Energy conservation with conservative forces: Two identical balls are thrown directly upward, ball A at speed v and ball B at sp
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

E) True.   Ball B will go four times as high as ball A because it had four times the initial kinetic energ

Explanation:

To answer the final statements, let's pose the solution of the exercise

Energy is conserved

Initial

          Em₀ = K

          Em₀ = ½ m v²

Final

         Emf = U = mg h

         Em₀ = emf

        ½ m v² = mgh

        h = v² / 2g

For ball A

         h_A = v² / 2g

For ball B

        h_B = (2v)² / 2g

        h_B = 4 (v² / 2g) = 4 h_A

Let's review the claims

A) False. The neck acceleration is zero, it has the value of the acceleration of gravity

B) False. Ball B goes higher

C) False  has 4 times the gravitational potential energy than ball A

D) False.  It goes 4 times higher

E) True.
