A red blood cell is 7 x 10-6 m in size. This means it is 7 __________ in size. What unit completes the sentence?

1 answer:

5 0

If a red blood cell is 7 x $10^-^6$ m in size, it means that such a cell is 7 microns or micrometer in size. The unit that completes the sentence will, thus, be microns or micrometer.

According to international system of measurement:

$10^{-1}$ m = decimeter

$10^{-2}$ m = centimeter

$10^{-3}$ m = millimeter
$10^{-6}$ m = micrometer or micron
$10^{-9}$ m = nanometer

Thus, a measurement of 7 x $10^-^6$ m is the same is 7 micons or 7 micrometer.

A skier is pulled by a towrope up a frictionless ski slope that makes an angle of 12 degrees with the horizontal. The rope moves

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given,

Work done by the rope 900 m/s.
Angle of inclination of the slope = $\theta\ =\ 12^o$
Initial speed of the skier = v = 1.0 m/s
Length of the inclined surface = d = 8.0 m

part (a)

The rope is doing the work against the gravity on the skier to uplift up to the inclined surface. Therefore the work done by the rope is equal to the work done on the skier due to the gravity

$\therefore W_r\ =\ W_g\ =\ 900\ J$

In both cases the height attained by the skier is equal. and the work done by gravity does not depend upon the speed of the skier.

part (b)

Initial speed of the skier = v = 1.0 m/s.

Rate of the work done by the rope is power of the rope.

$Power\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\dfrac{d}{v}}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W\times v}{d}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{900\times 1.0}{8.0}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ 112.5\ Watt$

Part (c)

Initial speed of the skier = v = 2.0 m/s.

Rate of the work done by the rope is power of the rope.

When drinking at a private even, you should assume that drinks will ___.

allochka39001 [22]

When drinking at a private event, you should assume that drinks will be STRONGER THAN NORMAL.

At private events, some hosts have the habit of mixing different drinks together in order to increase the intoxicating power of the drinks. This does not normally happen when one is buying from restaurants or other commercial places. Thus, to be on the safe side, one should always assume that drinks will be stronger when one is attending a private event, this will caution one to drink responsibly in order to avoid intoxication.

Which statement describes the kinetic energy of a particle?

worty [1.4K]

Kinetic energy has nothing to do with anything other than motion of the particle.
When a particle with velocity v collides another particle(suppose it is at rest for simplication), assuming that there is perfectly elastic collision between them, the velocity of particle which was at rest becomes mv/M ( assuming mass of particle in motion to be m and at rest to be M) from convervation of linear momentum. And all this transfer of energy happens in a fraction of seconds which is not visible to naked eyes.

Hence 1st option is correct!

Choose the scenario in which the sound frequency of the waves is higher.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

B) the sound source moves towards you at 100 m/sec

Explanation:

The Dopper Effect is a phenomenon that occur when there is relative motion between an observer and a source of a wave. When this situation occurs, there is an apparent shift in frequency of the wave, as observed by the observer.

The apparent frequency observed by the observer is given by

$f'=\frac{v\pm v_o}{v\pm v_s}f$

where

f is the original frequency of the wave

f' is the apparent frequency

v is the speed of the wave

$v_o$ is the velocity of the observer (positive if moving towards the source of the wave, negative otherwise)

$v_s$ is the velocity of the source (negative if moving towards from the observer, positive otherwise)

In this problem, we want to find the scenario in which the sound frequency is higher.

We see that in all 4 scenarios, the sound source is moving: this means we have to find the scenario in which the denominator of the equation is smaller.

First of all, we notice the sound source moves towards the observer, $v_s$ is negative, so the denominator is higher: this means that the correct option must be either A or B.

Also, we notice that since $v_s$ is negative, a value larger in magnitude will mean a smaller denominator: therefore, the correct answer will be

B) the sound source moves towards you at 100 m/sec

Since this situation will make the denominator of the formula the smallest possible.
