The answer is that a unicellular organism would swell and burst.


In a hypotonic solution the water concentration of the cell's cytoplasm is lower then that of the hypotonic solution. If unicellular organism is exposed to a hypotonic solution, the water from the solution will enter the organism by the process called osmosis. The aim is to balance water concentration on the inside and outside of the organism. But, that water entering the cytoplasm of the cell will make pressure on the cell membrane. If the excess water cannot be removed from the organism, it will swell and burst.

Una carga de 50 N unida a un resorte que cuelga verticalmente estira el resorte 5cm. El resorte se coloca ahora horizontalmente
ELEN [110]

Answer:

-110 N

Explanation:

Una carga de 50 N unida a un resorte que cuelga verticalmente estira el resorte 5cm. El resorte se coloca ahora horizontalmente sobre una masa y se estira 11cm. ¿Qué fuerza se requiere para estirar ese resorte en esa cantidad?

Solution:

La constante de resorte (k) es la relación entre la fuerza (F) y la extensión (d) como resultado de la fuerza aplicada, por lo tanto:

k = F / d

Dado que F = 50 N, d = 5 cm = 0.05 m. Por eso:

k = F / d = 50 N / 0.05 = 1000 N / m

La fuerza (F) requerida para provocar un estiramiento de 11 cm se da como:

F = -kx

x = 11 cm = 0,11 m. Por eso:

F = -kx = -1000 * 0,11 = -110 N

El signo negativo significa que el objeto se tira hacia el resorte.
