Item 5 Part A A nerve conduction velocity test (NCV) is an electrical test that is used to evaluate the function of nerves. A NCV on a patient's sciatic nerve (length of 0.70 m) reveals a conduction velocity of 40 m/s. How long did it take the impulse to travel along the nerve? 57 s 0.70 s 0.018 s 28 s Submit Request Answer Provide Feedback 5 of 19 Review | Constants Next > > In a ballistocardiograph, a patient lies on an extremely low friction horizontal table. At each heartbeat, a volume of blood is accelerated by the heart toward the head along the ascending aorta. In response, the patient's body recoils in the opposite direction. This motion is detected by sensitive accelerometers attached to the table. (The table is then brought to rest Figure 1 of 1 a 2 4 6. 8 10 1+ A graph of acceleration of the table versus time, termed a ballistocardiogram, is generated. Based on these measurements, the acceleration of the blood ejected by the heart can be determined. Patients with low blood accelerations generally have weakened heart muscles. A sketch of a single cycle of a ballistocardiogram is given in the figure. (Figure 1). The units of the graph are arbitrary and linear for both time,t, and acceleration, a Part A At what time (in the arbitrary time units of the graph) is the speed of the table (and hence the speed of the blood in the opposite direction) a maximum? View Available Hint(s) - Submit ? A common graphical representation of motion along a straight line is the v vs. t graph, that is, the graph of (instantaneous) velocity as a function of time. In this graph, time t is plotted on the horizontal axis and velocity on the vertical axis. Note that by definition, velocity and acceleration are vector quantities. In straight-line motion. however, these vectors have only a Figure 1 of 1 Ux(m/s) 2.0 1.5 10 1.0 0.5 (S) 1 + 0 10 20 20 30 40 50 (Figure 1) is a plot of velocity versus time for a particle that travels along a straight line with a varying velocity.

As usual in these types of graphs, time t is plotted on the horizontal axis, while the vertical axis is used to indicate acceleration a Part E Which of the graphs shown below is the correct acceleration vs. time plot for the motion described in the previous parts?

How fast is it going after t = 4.0 sec? Express your answer in miles per hour. v= A Submit Request Answer ? mph To take off from the ground, an airplane must reach a sufficiently high speed. The velocity required for the takeoff, the takeoff velocity, depends on several factors, including the weight of the aircraft and the wind velocity. Part A A plane accelerates from rest at a constant rate of 5.00 m/s along a runway that is 1800 m long. Assume that the plane reaches the required takeoff velocity at the end of the runway.

Express your answer numerically in meters using three significant figures. View Available Hint(s) dlast = 132 m Submit Previous Answers Correct Since the plane is accelerating, the average speed of the plane during the last second of its run is greater than its average speed during the first second of the run. Not surprisingly, so is the distance traveled. If you need to use the answer from this part in subsequent parts, use the unrounded value you calculated before you rounded the answer to three significant figures. Recall that you should only round as a final step before submitting your answer. Part E What percentage of the takeoff velocity did the plane gain when it reached the midpoint of the runway? Express your answer numerically to the nearest percent. View Available Hint(s) 71 % Submit Previous Answers Correct This is a "rule of thumb" generally used by pilots. Since the takeoff velocity for a particular aircraft can be computed before the flight, a pilot can determine whether the plane will successfully take off before the end of the runway by verifying that the plane has gained 71% of the takeoff velocity by the time it reaches half the length of the runway. If the plane hasn't reached that velocity, the pilot knows that there isn't enough time to reach the needed takeoff velocity before the plane reaches the end of the runaway. At that point, applying the brakes and aborting the takeoff is the safest course of action. Item 10 In the fastest measured tennis serve, the ball left the racquet at 73.14 m/s.
