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)?

= 7.38mm

Explanation:

The decrease in potential difference across membrane in the distance is given by the equation

where

= max voltage attained in action potential

l = length constant

x = the distance

taking natural log on both side

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.
