Suppose your hair grows at the rate of 1/26 inches per day. Find the rate at which it rows in nanometers per second. Because the

distance between atoms in a molecule is on the order of 0.1 nm, you answer suggests how rapidly layers of atoms are assembled in this protein synthesis. Your units should be "atomic layers/sec" Hint : Use dimensional analysis

Answer:

11.306 nm/s

or

113.06 atomic layers/sec

Explanation:

Hello!

First we need to know how much an inch equals in nanometers and a day in seconds:

Since <em>1inch = 2.54cm</em> and <em>1cm=10^7nm</em>

<em>      </em>1 inch = 2.54 * 10^7 nm<em> </em>

<em />

Also <em>1day = 24hours = 24*60minutes = 24*60*60seconds</em>

<em>    </em>1 day = 86.4 * 10^3 s

Therefore the rate at which the hair grows in nanometers per seconds is:

    1/26 in/day = (1/26) * (2.54*10^7)/(86.4*10^3) = 11.306 nm/s

 

Now, if 1 atomic layer = 0.1 nm this means that 1 nm = 10 atomic layers.

Therefore:

The rate in atomic layers is

11.306 nm/s = 11.306 (10 atomic layers)/s = 113.06 atomic layers/sec

You hold a bucket in one hand. In the bucket is a 500 g rock. You swing the bucket so the rock moves in a vertical circle 2.2 m
slavikrds [6]

Answer:v=3.28 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of rock m=500 gm

diameter of circle d=2.2 m

radius r=\frac{2.2}{2}=1.1 m

At highest Point

mg+N=\frac{mv^2}{r}

At highest Point N=0 because mass is just balanced by centripetal Force

thus mg=\frac{mv^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{gr}

v=\sqrt{9.8\times 1.1}

v=\sqrt{10.78}

v=3.28 m/s

Dear Amrish

I have come to know that since your school has closed for the Autumn Break you have plenty of free time at your disposal at the moment. I would like to tell you that even I am having holidays now.

It has been a long time since we have spent some time together. If you are free, I would welcome to have your company this weekend. Why don’t you come over to my house and spend a day or so with me?

I am anxiously waiting for your reply.

Yours affectionately

your name
