Answer: W = J
Explanation: Since the potassium ion is at the outside membrane of a cell and the potential here is lower than the potential inside the cell, the transport will need work to happen.
The work to transport an ion from a lower potential side to a higher potential side is calculated by
q is charge;
ΔV is the potential difference;
Potassium ion has +1 charge, which means:
p = C
To determine work in joules, potential has to be in Volts, so:
Then, work is
To move a potassium ion from the exterior to the interior of the cell, it is required J of energy.
Explanation:
Newton's 2nd Law can be expressed in terms of the object's momentum, in this case the expelled exhaust gases, as
(1)
Assuming that the velocity remains constant then
Solving for we get
Before we plug in the given values, we need to convert them first to their appropriate units:
The thrust <em>F</em><em> </em> is
The exhaust rate dm/dt is
Therefore, the velocity at which the exhaust gases exit the engines is
