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

Anestetic [448]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>To relate the type of box material to the warmth inside the box </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

3 boxes are made with three different materials glass, plastic and Aluminium. Thermal conductivity is different for different materials. thermal conductors allow easy flow of heat through them and insulators allow minimal or no flow of heat through them.

Thus the amount by which an object gets heated up depends on the value of its conductivity. In this experiment, glass and plastic are insulators and aluminium is a conductor. Among glass and plastic, plastic is a better insulator.

<em>Thus the heat contained in the boxes will be of the order </em>Aluminium>glass>plastic.
