Out of the given options, “Fleming shows that the Penicillium mold could kill bacteria and observed that it was very effective when taken orally or intravenously” is most accurately describes the development of the antibiotic penicillin

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

It was in 1928, when Alexander Fleming discovered the most effective antibacterial drug to knock down severe bacteria and hence, saved lives. It all began with the development of mold on a staphylococcus culture plate while Fleming was experimenting with the influenza virus.

Penicillin has helped numerous people to get aided from severe illness in the 20th century and especially during the World War II. The use of penicillin has helped in treating bacterial endocarditis, pneumococcal pneumonia, bacterial meningitis etc.

A disk rotates at constant angular acceleration, from angular position θ1 = 16.0 rad to angular position θ2 = 76.0 rad in 5.30 s

Oliga [24]

Answer:

(a) the angular velocity at θ1 is 11.64 rad/s

(b) the angular acceleration is 0.12 rad/ $s^{2}$

(c) the angular position was the disk initially at rest is - 428.27 rad

Explanation:

Given information :

θ1 = 16 rad

θ2 = 76 rad

ω2 = 11 rad/s

t = 5.3 s

(a) The angular velocity at θ1

First, we use the angular motion equation for constant acceleration

Δθ = (ω1+ω2)t/2

θ2 - θ1 = (ω1+ω2)t/2

ω1 + ω2 = 2 (θ2 - θ1) / t

ω1 = (2 (θ2 - θ1) / t ) - ω2

= (2 (76-16) / 5.3) - 11

= 11.64 rad/s

(b) the angular acceleration

ω2 = ω1 + α t

α t = ω2 - ω1

α = (ω2 - ω1)/t

= (11.64 - 11) / 5.3

= 0.12 rad/ $s^{2}$

(c) the angular position was the disk initially at rest, θ0

at rest ω0 = 0

ω2^2 = ω01 t + 2 α Δθ

2 α Δθ = ω2^2

θ2 - θ0 = ω2^2 / 2 α

θ0 = θ2 - (ω2^2) / 2 α

= 76 - ( $11^{2}$ / 2 x 0.12

= 76 - 504.16

= - 428.27 rad

Air enters a nozzle steadily at 2.21 kg/m3 and 20 m/s and leaves at 0.762 kg/m3 and 150 m/s. If the inlet area of the nozzle is

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

a) The mass flow rate through the nozzle is 0.27 kg/s.

b) The exit area of the nozzle is 23.6 cm².

Explanation:

a) The mass flow rate through the nozzle can be calculated with the following equation:

$\dot{m_{i}} = \rho_{i} v_{i}A_{i}$

Where:

$v_{i}$ : is the initial velocity = 20 m/s

$A_{i}$ : is the inlet area of the nozzle = 60 cm²

$\rho_{i}$ : is the density of entrance = 2.21 kg/m³

$\dot{m} = \rho_{i} v_{i}A_{i} = 2.21 \frac{kg}{m^{3}}*20 \frac{m}{s}*60 cm^{2}*\frac{1 m^{2}}{(100 cm)^{2}} = 0.27 kg/s$

Hence, the mass flow rate through the nozzle is 0.27 kg/s.

b) The exit area of the nozzle can be found with the Continuity equation:

$\rho_{i} v_{i}A_{i} = \rho_{f} v_{f}A_{f}$

$0.27 kg/s = 0.762 kg/m^{3}*150 m/s*A_{f}$

$A_{f} = \frac{0.27 kg/s}{0.762 kg/m^{3}*150 m/s} = 0.00236 m^{2}*\frac{(100 cm)^{2}}{1 m^{2}} = 23.6 cm^{2}$

Therefore, the exit area of the nozzle is 23.6 cm².

I hope it helps you!

20 quantities and classified them in vector and scaler quantities

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

A scalar quantity is defined as the physical quantity that has only magnitude, for example, mass and electric charge. On the other hand, a vector quantity is defined as the physical quantity that has both magnitude as well as direction like force and weight.
