If the action potential starts with a potential difference of +40.0 mV, and the length constant of the axon is 2.00 mm, how far

from the site of the stimulus will the potential difference across the membrane drop to 1.00 mV (assuming the action potential is not regenerated)?

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.

An archer fires an arrow, which produces a muffled "thwok" as it hits a target. If the archer hears the "thwok" exactly 1 s afte
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

35.79 meters

Explanation:

We have an archer, and there is a target. Denote the distance between them as d.

The bowman releases the arrow, which travels the distance d at a velocity of 40 m/s until it hits the target. We establish the equation as:

v_{arrow} * t_{arrow} = d\\ \\40 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} = d

Right after this, the arrow produces a muffled noise, traveling the same distance d at a speed of 340 m/s in time t_{sound}. Thus, we can derive:

v_{sound} * t_{sound} = d\\ \\340 \frac{m}{s} * t_{sound} = d.

Consequently, the sound reaches the archer, precisely 1 second post-firing the bow, resulting in:

t_{arrow} + t _{sound} = 1 s.

Using this relationship in the distance formula for sound allows us to write:

340 \frac{m}{s} * t_{sound} = d \\ \\ 340 \frac{m}{s} * (1 s- t_{arrow}) = d.

Substituting the value of d from the first equation yields:

40 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} = d \\ 40 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} = 340 \frac{m}{s} * (1 s- t_{arrow}).

Now, after some calculations, we can proceed further:

40 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} = 340 \frac{m}{s} * 1 s - 340 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} \\ \\ 40 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} + 340 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} = 340 m \\ \\ 380 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} = 340 m \\ \\ t_{arrow} = \frac{340 m}{380 \frac{m}{s}} \\ \\ t_{arrow} = 0.8947 s.

Finally, the value is inserted into the initial equation:

40 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} = d

40 \frac{m}{s} * 340/380 s = 35,79 s = d

Initially, the magnetic domains within the nail were oriented in various directions before coming into contact with the bar magnet. Upon Taylor touching the nail to the bar magnet, the magnetic fields of those domains became aligned, thus transforming the nail into a temporary magnet.
