Large electric fields in cell membranes cause ions to move through the cell wall. The field strength in a typical membrane is 1.
serg [7]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

          Electric field (E) = 1 \times 10^{7} N/C

          Charge (e) = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

Formula to calculate the magnitude of force is as follows.

                F = qE

                   = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1 \times 10^{7} N/C

                   = 1.6 \times 10^{-12} N

Therefore, we can conclude that magnitude of the force on a calcium ion with charge +e is  1.6 \times 10^{-12} N.

Consider two planets in space that gravitationally attract each other if the mass of one of them stays the same and the mass of
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

D. half as much

Explanation:

let m and M be the mass of the planets and r be the distance between them.

then: the force of attraction between them is given by,

F = G×m×M/(r^2)

if we keep one mass constant and double the other and also double the distance between them.

the force of attraction becomes:

F1 = 2G×m×M/[(2×r)^2]

   = 2G×m×M/[4×(r)^2]

   = (1/2)G×m×M/(r^2)

   = 1/2×F

therefore, when you double one mass and keep the other mass constant and double the distance between the masses you decrease the force by a factor of 1/2.

a bicyclist initially at rest speeds up steadily during this time interval she averages 3.50 miles per second determine the init
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Average speed  = 3.5miles per second

Unknown:

Initial speed  = ?

Average speed  = ?

Final speed in the interval = ?

Solution:

Since the bicyclist started from rest and speeds up steadily, it is correct to assume that her starting or initial speed is 0m/s.

At a state of rest, a body has no speed.

Average speed is the sum total of the speed covered at each time interval. This value is given already to be 3.5miles per second.

Final speed is the speed before the bicycle halts. This speed will be the same as the average speed here which is 3.5miles per second.

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time.
