To measure signal propagation in a nerve in the arm, the nerve is triggered near the armpit. The peak of the action potential is measured at the elbow and then, 4.0 ms later, 24 cm away from the elbow at the wrist.a. What is the speed of propagation along this nerve?b. A determination of the speed made by measuring the time between the application of a stimulus at the armpit and the peak of an action potential at the elbow or the wrist would be inaccurate. Explain the problem with this approach, and why the noted technique is preferable.

If you examine your smartphone battery, you will likely see two numbers: the battery's "capacity" labeled in mAh (milliamps x hours or milliamp-hours), and the battery's voltage or potential difference in V (volts). 1. What physical quantity is the battery's "capacity" measuring? Explain how you can tell. This answer has not been graded yet. 2. Suppose your phone's battery has a capacity of 2500 mAh and a potential difference of 3.7 V. What is the amount of charge, in C (coulombs), that is stored in your smartphone battery when it's fully charged? Charge = 3. Smartphone chargers are usually labeled with their current output in A (amps). Suppose your charger delivers a current of 1.1 A.
