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

givi [52]

Answer:

d = 13 miles

Explanation:

Lets say the position of court house is origin in this case

her office is located at 4 miles west and 4 miles south of court house

so here we have coordinate of the office with respect to court house is given as

r_1 = (-4\hat i - 4\hat j)

now the position of her home is located at 1 miles east and 8 miles north of the court house

so the coordinates of her home is given as

r_2 = (1\hat i + 8 \hat j)

now the change in the position is given as the distance between office and home

d = r_2 - r_1

d = 5 \hat i + 12 \hat j

d = \sqrt{5^2 + 12^2} = 13 miles

inysia [295]

Answer:

d = 0 [m]

Explanation:

Displacement is understood as the length and direction that a body travels to move from an initial point to an endpoint.

This displacement is represented with a vector or straight line that indicates the distance of the displacement and its length.

This displacement in an easier way to understand. It is the distance between the start point and the endpoint of the journey. Since the second point is equal to the first point, since Mary returns to the same place, there is no difference between the displacement.

Therefore the displacement is zero.

A plane stops from 250 mph in 25 seconds. Calculate the plane's acceleration.
Lelechka [254]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 250 mph

v = 0 mph

t = 25 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

(0 mph) = a (25 s) + (250 mph)

a = -10 mph/s
