A nerve signal is transmitted through a neuron when an excess of Na+ ions suddenly enters the axon, a long cylindrical part of t

he neuron. Axons are approximately 10.0 μm in diameter, and measurements show that about 5.60×1011 Na+ions per meter (each of charge +e) enter during this process. Although the axon is a long cylinder, the charge does not all enter everywhere at the same time. A plausible model would be a series of nearly point charges moving along the axon. Let us look at a 0.100 mm length of the axon and model it as a point charge.1) What electric field (magnitude and direction) does the sudden influx of charge produce at the surface of the body if the axon is 5.00 cm below the skin? Note that distance to the skin is much greater than the length of the charged axon so that the axon charge is effectiely point-like.,E = (INSERT ANSWER) N/C2) If the charge that enters each meter of the axon gets distributed uniformly along it, how many coulombs of charge enter a 0.100 mm length of the axon? Answer in C3) the field is directed away from the axon or the field is directed into the axon

Answer:

1.32.225 N/C, moving away from the point charge

2. 8.972*10^-12 C

3. the field is oriented away from the axon

Explanation:

The calculation for the electric field is illustrated below:

E = k*|q|/r²

Where:

E = electric field; k = 8.98755*10⁹ N*m²/C²; r = distance separating the field being measured from the point charge = 0.05 m; q = point charge

For a length of 0.100 m of the axon, the value of q is calculated as:

q = (5.6*10¹¹)*(+e)*(0.001)

+e = charge of an electron = 1.60217*10^-19 C

Therefore:

q = (5.6*10¹¹)*(1.60217*10^-19)*(0.0001) = 8.972*10^-12 C

Consequently:

E = (8.98755*10⁹)*(8.972*10^-12)/0.05² = 32.255 N/C

A positive point charge produces an electric field that radiates outward, while a negative point charge creates an electric field directed inward.

help please!! A runner at a speed of 3.5 m/s comes to a stop in 0.15 seconds. What is the deceleration?
Maru [3345]

Answer:

The runner's deceleration is -23.33 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

Given:

Initial speed = 3.5 \frac{m}{s}

Final speed = 0 \frac{m}{s}

Time taken = 0.15 s

To determine:

Deceleration of the runner =?

Used Formula:

Using the first equation of motion,

v = u + at

Where, v = final speed

u = initial speed

a = deceleration

t = duration

Solution:

<pusing the="" first="" equation="" of="" motion="">

v = u + at

Where, v = final speed

u = initial speed

a = deceleration

t = duration

0 = 3.5 + a (0.15)

-3.5 = 0.15 (a)

a = \frac{-3.5}{0.15}

a = -23.33 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

The negative sign indicates that this represents deceleration.

Hence, the deceleration of the runner is -23.33 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

The capacitors in each circuit are fully charged before the switch is closed. Rank, from longest to shortest, the length of time
Sav [3153]
This involves circuit analysis through simplification of the resistors and capacitors. We need to determine the time constant for each circuit in figures A, B, C, D, and E. This leads to ranking the duration the bulbs remain lit from longest to shortest based on each circuit's time constant. The ranking for the time constants is C > A = E > B > D. Capacitance plays a pivotal role in electrostatics, and devices called capacitors are vital components in electronic circuits. When more charge is applied to a conductor, the voltage escalates proportionately. The capacitance of a conductor is quantified as C = q/v. Adding resistors in series raises resistance while parallel configurations reduce it, conversely increasing capacitance in parallel and diminishing it in series. Thus, circuits with greater time constants take longer to discharge.

You apply the brakes of your car abruptly and your book starts sliding off the front seat. Three observers sitting in the car ex
Softa [3030]

Answer:

All observers are accurate.

Explanation:

This situation reflects a matter of reference frames regarding the book's motion as perceived by different observers.

From their distinct frames of reference, each observer's perspective is valid.

Observer A is in an inertial reference frame.

Observers capable of explaining the book's behavior and its relationship to the car through the interplay of forces and changes in velocity are classified as being in inertial reference frames.

Observer A's observations illustrate this, for she pointed out the relative motion between the book and the car, indicating her position in an inertial reference frame.

Likewise, observers in these inertial reference frames can elucidate object velocity changes based on the forces affecting them from other objects.

This is exemplified by observer B, who notes the car's force impacting the book's velocity.

Observer C occupies a non-inertial reference frame, as Newton's laws of motion do not apply. This scenario arises within non-inertial frames.

U = 1794.005 × 10⁶ J. Explanation: Information provided indicates that the capacitance of the original capacitor is C = 1.27 F, and the potential difference applied to it is V = 59.9 kV, or 59.9 × 10³ V. The potential energy (U) for the capacitor is determined by the formula: U = (1/2) × C × V². Substituting the respective values, we find U = (1/2) × 1.27 × (59.9 × 10³)², resulting in U = 1794.005 × 10⁶ J.
