A cell membrane consists of an inner and outer wall separated by a distance of approximately 10nm. Assume that the walls act lik

e a parallel plate capacitor, each with a charge density of 10-5C/m2, and the outer wall is positively charged. Although unrealistic, assume that the space between cell walls is filled with air.
What is the magnitude of the electric field between the membranes?

a. 1×10^-6N/C
b. 1×10^-15N/C
c. 5×10^-5N/C
d. 9×10^-2N/C

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field between the membranes is  1.13 x 10⁶ N/C

Explanation:

Given;

the distance of separation of the parallel plate capacitor, d =  10nm

the charge density, σ = 10⁻⁵C/m²

the magnitude of the electric field between the membranes, is calculated using the formula below;

E = σ / ε₀

Where;

ε₀ is permittivity of free space, = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² C²/Nm²

E is magnitude of the electric field between the membranes

σ is surface charge density

E = (10⁻⁵) / (8.85 x 10⁻¹²)

E = 1.13 x 10⁶ N/C

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field between the membranes is  1.13 x 10⁶ N/C

An agriculturalist working with Australian pine trees wanted to investigate the relationship between the age and the height of t
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Step 1:

The available regression equation is: Predict height= 0.29 + 0.48 (age).

Here, the predict height is dependent variable and the  age is in-dependent variable.

Intercept = 0.29

Slope      = 0.48

The given regression equation indicates the y on x model and the intercept coefficients of the regression equation is 0.29 and the slope is 0.48.

Step 2:

The height increases, an average, by 0.48 m per year.

Because co-efficient of slope variable indicate the positive sign and we increase 1 year in age then automatically height increased is 0.48 m.

A physicist does 100 joules of work on a simple machine that raise a box of bioks through a heigjt of 0.2metres. if the efficien
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

the work converted to thermal energy is 40 J.

Explanation:

Given;

work done by the physicist,w = 100 J

height through which the book is raised, h = 0.2 m

efficiency of machine = 60% = 0.6

The useful work done by the machine is calculated as;

useful work = 0.6 x 100 = 60 J

The wasted energy = 100 J - 60 J

The wasted energy = 40 J

The wasted energy by the machine is possibly converted to thermal energy by the frictional part of the machine.

Therefore, the work converted to thermal energy is 40 J.
