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.

The velocity of a an object in linear motion changes from +25 meters per second to +15 meters per second in 2.0 seconds.
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

-5.0 m/s^2

Explanation:

Missing question:

What is the object's acceleration?

Solution:

The acceleration of an object is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken for the change in velocity

For the object in this problem,

u = +25 m/s

v = +15 m/s

t = 2.0 s

Substituting,

a=\frac{15-25}{2}=-5.0 m/s^2

And the acceleration is negative because its direction is opposite to that of the velocity.

The bird is held in level flight due to the force exerted on it by the air as the bird beats its wings. What is the maximum valu
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

 maximumforce is F = mg

Explanation:

For this case we must use Newton's second law,

     Σ F = m a

bold indicate vectors, so we will write it in its components x and y

 X axis

       Fₓ = maₓ

 Axis y

      Fy - W = m aa_{y}

Now let's examine our case, with indicate that the bird is level, the force of the wings can have a measured angle with respect to the x axis, where the vertical component is responsible for the lift, let's use trigonometry to find the components

      Cos θ = Fₓ / F

      Fₓ = F cos θ

      sin θ = Fy / F

      Fy = F sin θ

Let's replace and calculate

      F sin θ -w = m a

 

As the bird indicates that leveling at the same height, so the vertical acceleration is zero (ay = 0)

       F sin θ = w = mg

The maximum value of this equation occurs when the sin=1, in this case

      F = mg

sergiy2304 [10]
We are given an electromagnetic wave with a frequency of 5.09 x 10^14 Hz and travelling through a transparent medium. If the medium was vacuum, the speed of the wave would be equal to the speed of light. Otherwise, the main factor that would determine the speed of the wave is its wavelength.
