Stells [14]2 years ago

His weight depends on where he is, because

Weight = (mass) x (gravity in the place where the mass is) .

For example:

-- If this man is on Mars, his weight is (110 kg) x (3.7 m/s²) = 408 Newtons

-- If he is on the Moon, his weight is (110 kg) x (1.6 m/s²) = 176 Newtons

-- If he is on Earth, his weight is (110 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 1,078 Newtons

-- If he is in a spacecraft coasting from one to another, his weight is zero.

A particle moves along the curve below. y = sqrt(1 + x^3) As it reaches the point (2, 3), the y-coordinate is increasing at a ra

blagie [28]

Answer:7 cm/s

Explanation:

Given

Particle move along curve

$y=\sqrt{1+x^3}$

As it reaches the (2,3) its y coordinate is increasing at 14 cm/s

Differentiating y w.r.t time

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{3x^2}{2\sqrt{1+x^3}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

Now at (2,3)

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{3\cdot 2^2}{2\sqrt{1+2^3}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$14=\frac{3\times 4}{2\times \sqrt{9}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=7 cm/s$

What is the function of the Cytoplasm?

ANEK [815]

It is made up of mostly water and salt. Cytoplasm is present within the cell membrane of all cell types and contains all organelles and cell parts.

The cytoplasm is like a bathtub water because it holds a kind of jelly fluid just like a bathtub

eukaryote is an organism with complex cells, or a single cell with a complex structure.

How should the distance, D, between two point charges, q1 and q2, be changed to double their electric potential energy

Licemer1 [7]

The electrostatic potential energy, U, of one point charge q at position d in the presence of an electric field E is defined as the negative of the work W done by the electrostatic force to bring it from the reference position d to that position

$u \: = \: \frac{kq1q2}{d}$

Thus, to double the electric potential energy U we need to reduce the distance of separation by half (1/2) because they are inversely proportion

Find the kinetic energy of an electron whose de broglie wavelength is 34.0 nm.

dezoksy [38]

The De Broglie wavelength of the electron is
$\lambda=34.0 nm=34 \cdot 10^{-9} m$
And we can use De Broglie's relationship to find its momentum:
$p= \frac{h}{\lambda}= \frac{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js}{34 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kg m/s$

Given $p=mv$ , with m being the electron mass and v its velocity, we can find the electron's velocity:
$v= \frac{p}{m}= \frac{1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kgm/s}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg}= 2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s$

This velocity is quite small compared to the speed of light, so the electron is non-relativistic and we can find its kinetic energy by using the non-relativistic formula:
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg)(2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s)^2=2.06 \cdot 10^{-22} J$
