The inner and outer surfaces of a cell membrane carry a negative and positive charge, respectively. Because of these charges, a

potential difference of about 0.076 V exists across the membrane. The thickness of the membrane is 8.9 x 10-9 m. What is the magnitude of the electric field in the membrane?

Answer:

E = 8.5 * 10^6 V/m

Explanation:

In general we have the following relation between the Electric Field and the Elecric Potential:

\int\limits^2_1 {\vec{E} \cdot\vec{dl}} = V_{2} -V_{1}

Due to the vector nature of the electric filed, we can only know the mean Electric field E across the membrane, and take it out from the integral, that is:

E = (ΔV)/L

Where L is the thickness of the membrane and ΔV is the potential difference.

Therefore:

E = 8.53933*10^6 V/m

rounding to the first tenth:

E = 8.5 * 10^6 V/m

<h3>What is Potential and Kinetic energy?</h3>

Potential energy is the energy that is stored in any item or system as a result of its location or component arrangement. The environment outside of the object or system, such as air or height, has no impact on it. In contrast, kinetic energy refers to the energy of moving particles inside a system or an item.

mass of rod, mab = 2.4kg

mass of rod, mbc = 4kg

conservation of energy

T_{1}  + V_{1} = T_{2}  + V_{2}

h_{ab}  = h_{bc}  = 0.18m

potential energy at position 1,

V1 = m_{ab} gh_{ab}  + m_{bc} gh_{bc}

V1 = 2.5 * 9.81 * 0.18 + 4 * 9.81 * 0.18

V1 = 11.30112

kinetic energy T1 at position 1 is zero

potential energy at position 2 is zero

K.E at position 2,

T_{2} = \frac{1}{2} l_{ab} w^{2}_{ab} +  \frac{1}{2} m_{bc} v^{2}_{G} +  \frac{1}{2} lw^{2}_{bc}

l_{ab} =\frac{m_{ab} l^{2}_{ab}  }{3}

= 1/3 *4 * (0.36)²

=0.10368kg m²

l =\frac{m_{bc} l^{2}_{bc}  }{12}

= 1/12 *4 * (0.6)²

=0.12kg m²

on putting the values in above equation we get,

T₂ = 1.0667vb²

0 + 11.30112 = 1.0667vb² + 0

vb = 3.2549 m/s

frez [133]

Answer:

The Heavier Firefighter

Explanation:

Generally, more massive objects will have more intertia than less massive objects.  As such it takes more force to halt a more massive object if its moving at the same speed as a smaller object. This can also be thought of in the context of Newton's second law. The more force needed to accelerate an object means the more force the object will have.

denis23 [38]

Answer:

0.021 V

Explanation:

The average induced emf (E) can be calculated usgin the Faraday's Law:

E = - \frac{N*\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}  

<u>Where:</u>

<em>N = is the number of turns = 1   </em>

<em>ΔΦ = ΔB*A                                            </em>

<em>Δt = is the time = 0.3 s   </em>

<em>A = is the loop of wire area = πr² = πd²/4 </em>

<em>ΔB: is the magnetic field = (0 - 1.04) T                     </em>

Hence the average induced emf is:

E = - \frac{\Delta B*A}{\Delta t} = - \frac{(0- 1.04 T) \pi (0.088 m)^{2}}{4*0.3 s} = 0.021 V                      

Therefore, the average induced emf is 0.021 V.

I hope it helps you!

Kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is the type of energy observed in moving objects. In this case the football player is running, ie moving, so he/she must have kinetic energy.
