Although these quantities vary from one type of cell to another, a cell can be 1.9 μm in diameter with a cell wall 60 nm thick.

DaniilM [7]3 years ago

Answer: 2(10)^{-9} mg

Explanation:

We know the total diameter of the cell (assumed spherical) is:

d=1.9\mu m=1.9(10)^{-6} m

Then its total radius r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.9(10)^{-6} m}{2}=9.5(10)^{-7} m

On the other hand, we know the thickness of the cell wall is r_{t}=60 nm= 60(10)^{-9} m and its density is the same as water (\rho=997 kg/m^{3}).

Since density is the relation between the mass m and the volume V:

\rho=\frac{m}{V}

The mass is: m=\rho V (1)

Now if we are talking about this cell as a thin spherical shell, its volume will be:

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi R^{3} (2)

Where  R=r-r_{w}=9.5(10)^{-7} m - 60(10)^{-9} m

Then:

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi (9.5(10)^{-7} m - 60(10)^{-9} m)^{3} (3)

V=2.952(10)^{-18} m^{3} (4)

Substituting (4) in (1):

m=(997 kg/m^{3})(2.952(10)^{-18} m^{3}) (5)

m=2.94(10)^{-15} kg (6)

Knowing 1 kg=1000 g and 1 mg=0.001 g:

m=2.94(10)^{-15} kg=2(10)^{-9} mg

You and your friend throw balloons filled with water from the roof of a several story apartment house. You simply drop a balloon
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Height = 53.361 m

Explanation:

There are two balloons being thrown down, one with initial speed (u1) = 0 and the other with initial speed (u2) = 43.12

From the given information we make the following summary

u_{1} = 0m/s

t_{1} = t

u_{2} = 43.12m/s

t_{2} = (t-2.2)s

The distance by the first balloon is

D = u_{1} t_{1}  + \frac{1}{2} at_{1}^2

where

a = 9.8m/s2

Inputting the values

D = (0)t + \frac{1}{2} (9.8)t^2\\ D = 4.9t^2

The distance traveled by the second balloon

D = u_{2} t_{2}  + \frac{1}{2} at_{2}^2

Inputting the values

D = (43.12)(t-2.2)  + \frac{1}{2} (9.8)(t-2.2)^2

simplifying

D = 4.9t^2 + 21.56t -71.148

Substituting D of the first balloon into the D of the second balloon and solving

4.9t^2 = 4.9t^2 + 21.56t -71.148 \\ 21.56t = 71.148\\ t = 3.3s

Now we know the value of t. We input this into the equation of the first balloon the to get height of the apartment

D = 4.9(3.3)^2\\ D = 53.361 m

A small block on a frictionless, horizontal surface has a mass of 0.0250 kg. It is attached to a massless cord passing through a
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a) Yes

b) 7 rad/s

c) 0.01034 J

Explanation:

a)

Yes the angular momentum of the block is conserved since the net torque on the block is zero.

b)

m = mass of the block = 0.0250 kg

w₀ = initial angular speed before puling the cord = 1.75 rad/s

r₀ = initial radius before puling the cord = 0.3 m

w = final angular speed after puling the cord = ?

r = final  radius after puling the cord = 0.15 m

Using conservation of angular momentum

m r₀² w₀ = m r² w

r₀² w₀ = r² w

(0.3)² (1.75) = (0.15)² w

w = 7 rad/s

c)

Change in kinetic energy is given as

ΔKE = (0.5) (m r² w² - m r₀² w₀²)

ΔKE = (0.5) ((0.025) (0.15)² (7)² - (0.025) (0.3)² (1.75)²)

ΔKE = 0.01034 J

A 9.0-V battery (with nonzero resistance) and switch are connected in series across the primary coil of a transformer. The secon
qwelly [4]

Answer:

N₂ / N₁ = 13.3

Explanation:

A transformer is a system that induces a voltage in the secondary due to the variation of voltage in the primary, the ratio of voltages is determined by the expression

           ΔV₂ = N₂ /N₁  ΔV₁

where ΔV₂ and ΔV₁ are the voltage in the secondary and primary respectively and N is the number of windings on each side.

In this case, they indicate that the primary voltage is 9.0 V and the secondary voltage is 120 V

therefore we calculate the winding ratio

         ΔV₂ /ΔV₁ = N₂ / N₁

         N₂ / N₁ = 120/9

         N₂ / N₁ = 13.3

s good clarify that in transformers the voltage must be alternating (AC)

A block oscillating up and down on a spring comes to the top of its path, where it is momentarily at rest. At the instant it is
True [87]

Opposite to the direction of the velocity which led it to its current position.

Explanation:

The direction of momentum when a vertically oscillating block comes to the rest momentarily will be opposite to the direction of the velocity that it has just followed to reach reach its current position.

The direction of change in momentum at the bottom will be upwards and at the top will be downwards.

The change in momentum is mathematically defined as:

\Delta P=m.v_f-m.v_i

where:

m= mass of the block

v_f= final velocity of the block

v_i= initial velocity of the block

When the block comes to rest it is due to the result of continuously decreasing velocity.
