Taxonomists have noted that as the number of organisms decreases, the more likely the organisms are to share similar characteristics.

Explanation:

A taxonomist is a biologist that groups organisms into categories.
A plant taxonomist for example, might study the origins and relationships between different types of roses while an insect taxonomist might focus on the relationships between different types of beetles.
Taxonomy is the process of naming and classifying things such as animals and plants into groups within a larger system, according to their similarities and differences.
Taxonomy entails the description, naming, and classification of living things.
It helps us categorize organisms so we can more easily communicate biological information. Taxonomy uses hierarchical classification as a way to help scientists understand and organize the diversity of life on our planet.
A taxonomic characteristic may be defined as any expressed attribute of an organism that can be evaluated and that has two or more discontinuous states or conditions.

The membrane of a living cell can be approximated by a parallel-plate capacitor with plates of area 4.50×10−9 m2 , a plate separ

Marizza181 [45]

The energy stored in the membrane is $6.44\cdot 10^{-14} J$

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by

$C=\frac{k\epsilon_0 A}{d}$

where

k is the dielectric constant of the material

$\epsilon_0$ is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

For the membrane in this problem, we have

k = 4.6

$A=4.50\cdot 10^{-9} m^2$

$d=8.1\cdot 10^{-9} m$

Substituting, we find its capacitance:

$C=\frac{(4.6)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(4.50\cdot 10^{-9})}{8.1\cdot 10^{-9}}=2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F$

Now we can find the energy stored: for a capacitor, it is given by

$U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2$

where

$C=2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F$ is the capacitance

$V=7.55\cdot 10^{-2} V$ is the potential difference

Substituting,

$U=\frac{1}{2}(2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F)(7.55\cdot 10^{-2})^2=6.44\cdot 10^{-14} J$

A 1300-N crate rests on the floor. How much work is required to move it at constant speed (a)

kherson [118]

a) The work done is 920 J

b) The work done is 5200 J

Explanation:

In this first part of the problem, the crate is moved horizontally at constant speed.

The work required in this case is given by

$W=Fd cos \theta$

where

F is the magnitude of the force applied

d is the displacement of the crate

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

Here the crate is moved at constant speed: this means that the acceleration of the crate is zero, and so according to Newton's second law, the net force on the crate is zero: this means that the force applied, F, must be equal to the force of friction (but in opposite direction), so

F = 230 N

The displacement is

d = 4.0 m

And the angle is $\theta=0^{\circ}$ , since the force is applied horizontally. Therefore, the work done is

$W=(230)(4.0)(cos 0^{\circ})=920 J$

In this case, the crate is moved vertically. The force that must be applied to lift the crate must be equal to the weight of the crate (in order to move it a constant speed), therefore

F = W = 1300 N

The displacement this time is again

d = 4.0 m

And the angle is $\theta=0^{\circ}$ , since the force is applied vertically, and the crate is moved also vertically. Therefore, the work done on the crate this time is

$W=(1300)(4.0)(cos 0^{\circ})=5200 J$

We can model a pine tree in the forest as having a compact canopy at the top of a relatively bare trunk. Wind blowing on the top

frez [133]

We need to consider for this exercise the concept Drag Force and Torque. The equation of Drag force is

$F_D = c_D A \frac{\rho V^2}{2}$

Where,

F_D = Drag Force

$c_D$ = Drag coefficient

A = Area

$\rho$ = Density

V = Velocity

Our values are given by,

$c_D = 0.5$ (That is proper of a cone-shape)

$A = 9m^2$

$\rho = 1.2Kg/m^3$

$V = 6.5m/s$

Part A ) Replacing our values,

$F_D = 0.5*9*\frac{1.2*6.5^2}{2}$

$F_D = 114.075N$

Part B ) To find the torque we apply the equation as follow,

$\tau = F*d$

$\tau = (114.075N)(7)$

$\tau = 798.525N.m$

The dot or scalar product of two (3d) vec- tors ⃗a = ⟨a1,a2,a3⟩ and ⃗b = ⟨b1,b2,b3⟩ is defined as

Neko [114]

Yes, yes, we know all of that. It certainly took you long enough to
get around to asking your question.

If
   a = (14, 10.5, 0)
and
   b = (4.62, 9.45, 0) ,

then, to begin with, neither vector has a z-component, and they
both lie in the x-y plane.

Their dot-product a · b = (14 x 4.62) + (10.5 x 9.45) =

         (64.68)   +   (99.225) = 163.905 (scalar)

I feel I earned your generous 5 points just reading your treatise and
finding your question (in the last line). I shall cherish every one of them.

What will make two bar magnets repel each other?

Kitty [74]

The arrows always start at the magnet's north pole and point towards its south pole. When two like-poles point together, the arrows from the two magnets point in OPPOSITE directions and the field lines cannot join up. So the magnets will push apart
