Nerve impulses travel at different speeds, depending on the type of fiber through which they move. The impulses for touch travel at 76.2 m/sm/s, while those registering pain move at 0.610 m/sm/s. Assume that person's brain is 1.78 mm from his toe and that the impulses travel directly from toe to brain. Find the time delay between the pain and touch impulses.

It is may 5 and you are somewhere in the northern hemisphere. if you determine that the noon sun is 51 degrees above your southern horizon, what is the latitude of your location

Clothing made of several thin layers of fabric with trapped air in between, often called ski clothing, is commonly used in cold climates because it is light, fashionable, and a very effective thermal insulator. so it is no surprise that such clothing has largely replaced thickand heavy old-fashioned coats. (a) consider a jacket made of five layers of 0.1-mm-thick synthetic fabric (k = 0.13 w/m·°c) with 1.5-mm-thick air space (k = 0.026 w/m·°c) between the layers. assuming the inner surface temperature of the jacket to be 28°c and the surface area to be 1.25 m2, determine the rate of heat loss through the jacket when the temperature of the outdoors is 0°c and the heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface is 25 w/m2·°c. (b) what would your response be if the jacket is made of a single layer of 0.5-mm-thick synthetic fabric? what should be the thickness of a wool fabric (k = 0.035 w/m·°c) if the person is to achieve the same level of thermal comfort wearing a thick wool coat instead of a five-layer ski jacket?
