Permeability is the condition of being capable of having materials flow into and out of a membrane. The permeability of a cell m

embrane is determined by how easily a molecule can diffuse across the membrane. Usually, only molecules that are fat-soluble can permeate across a cell membrane. Why is this the case?

Permeability is the condition of being capable of having materials flow into and out of a membrane. The permeability of a cell membrane is determined by how easily a molecule can diffuse across the membrane. Usually, only molecules that are fat-soluble can permeate across a cell membrane. This is because the layer that is exposed on the linings of the cell membrane is nonpolar and can therefore allow the fat-soluble molecule to pass through.

Describe 2 applications of surface tension
Andrews [41]
Application of surface tension:
1) A needle placed on water can be made to float due to the surface tension of water.
2) Mosquito eggs can float on water because of its surface tension.
3) Toothpaste contains soap, which reduce the surface tension and helps it spread freely in the mouth.

Calculate the sample standard deviation and sample variance for the following frequency distribution of hourly wages for a sampl
ollegr [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) standard deviation = σ = 4.9996

(b) variance = σ² = 24.996

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />

<em>Given frequency table (find attached as Table 1);</em>

<u></u>

(a) To find the sample standard deviation and sample variance, follow these steps;

<em>i. Calculate the mid-point c for each group by using the mid-point formula;</em>

c = (lower bound + upper bound) / 2

=> c = (6.51 + 8.50) / 2 = 7.505

=> c = (8.51 + 10.50) / 2 = 9.505

=> c = (10.51 + 12.50) / 2 = 11.505

=> c = (12.51 + 14.50) / 2 = 13.505

=> c = (14.51 + 16.50) / 2 = 15.505

<em>So the new table becomes (find attached as Table 2);</em>

<em>ii. Calculate the total number of samples (n) which is the sum of all the frequencies.</em>

n = 50+18+42+20+46

n = 176

<em>iii. Calculate the mean (M)</em>

This is done by first multiplying the midpoints by the corresponding frequencies and then dividing the result by the total number of samples (n).

M = [(7.505 x 50) + (9.505 x 18) + (11.505 x 42) + (13.505 x 20) + (15.505 x 46)] / 176

M = [375.25 + 171.09 + 483.21 + 270.1 + 713.23] / 176

M = [2012.88] / 176

M = 11.44

<em>iv. Find the variance (σ²);</em>

The variance is calculated using the following formula

σ² = [Σ(f x c²) - (n x M²)] / (n - 1)                ------------(i)

Where;

f = frequency of each boundary data point

<em>=>  Let's first calculate </em>Σ(f x c²).

This is done by finding the sum of the product of the frequency (f) of each boundary point and the square of their corresponding mid-points(c)

Σ(f x c²) = [(50 x 7.505²) + (18 x 9.505²) + (42 x 11.505²) + (20 x 13.505²) + (46 x 15.505²)]

Σ(f x c²) = [(2816.25125) + (1626.21045) + (5559.33105) + (3647.7005) + (11058.63115)]

Σ(f x c²) = 24708.1244

<em>=> Now calculate (n x M²)</em>

n x M² = 176 x 11.44²

n x M² = 23033.7536

<em>=> Now substitute these values into equation (i) to calculate the variance</em>

σ² = [Σ(f x c²) - (n x M²)] / (n - 1)

σ² = [24708.1244 - 23033.7536] / (176 - 1)

σ² = [4374.3708] / (175)

σ² = 24.996

Therefore, the variance is 24.996

<em>v. Find the standard deviation (σ)</em>

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. i.e

σ = √σ²

σ = √24.996

σ = 4.9996

Therefore, the standard deviation is 4.9996

Why are temperatures in the thermosphere not strictly comparable to those experienced near earth's surface?
Nostrana [21]

Temperatures in the thermosphere are not strictly comparable to those experienced near Earth's surface because the gases of the thermosphere are moving at very high speeds, and the temperature is very high.

The thermosphere lies among the exosphere and the mesosphere. “Thermo” way warmness and the temperature in this layer can reach as much as 4,500 tiers Fahrenheit. in case you have been to hang around inside the thermosphere, though, you'll be very cold because there are not sufficient fuel molecules to transfer the warmth to you.

The thermosphere is the outer layer of the Earth's surroundings, extending from about 53 miles to greater than 370 miles above the surface. The temperature increases rapidly in this layer due to the absorption of huge quantities of incoming excessive electricity sun radiation by using atoms of nitrogen and oxygen.

Early one October, you go to a pumpkin patch to select your Halloween pumpkin. You lift the 2.9 kg pumpkin to a height of 1.5 m
Katen [24]

Answer:

Work done in lifting to a height of 1.5 m is 42.63 J.

Work done in carrying it to 50 m is 0 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the pumpkin (m) = 2.9 kg

Vertical displacement of the pumpkin (y) = 1.5 m

Horizontal displacement of the pumpkin (x) = 50 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Work done by a force is given by the formula:

W=FS\cos\theta

Where,

F\to force\ applied\\\\S\to displacement\ caused\\\\\theta\to angle\ between\ F\ and\ S

  • Now, the work done is maximum when both force and displacement is in same direction. (\theta=0^\circ)
  • Work done is minimum when both force and displacement are in opposite direction. (\theta=180^\circ)
  • Work done is zero when force and displacement are perpendicular to each other. (\theta=90^\circ)

Here, as the pumpkin is raised to a height 'h', there is force applied against gravity in the upward direction. So, force and displacement are in same direction and thus the angle is 0° between the force and displacement vectors.

So, work done is given as:

W=Force\times Vertical\ displacement

Force applied is equal to the gravitational force applied by the Earth but in the opposite direction.

So, Force = mg = 2.9\times 9.8 = 28.42\ N

So, work, W=Fy=28.42\times 1.5=42.63\ J

So, work done in lifting the pumpkin is 42.63 J.

Now, when the pumpkin is carried to the check-out stand, the displacement is horizontal while the force applied is still in the upward direction.

So, the force and displacement are perpendicular to each other. Thus, the work done is zero.
