Answer:

B. 25 m/s/s

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is the square of the tangential velocity divided by the radius of curvature.

a = v² / r

Given v = 10 m/s and r = 4 m:

a = (10 m/s)² / 4 m

a = 25 m/s²

MatroZZZ [7]

In theroy, yes. But time travel has yet to happen and thus, we dont know. I would assume that that if an alternate universe were NOT created, it would cause a rip in the fabic of time creating a worm hole and allowing all entitys to pass through simultaneously,and that would cause great stress on it, possibly causing it to rip large enough to encase the whole universe and it would implode.

Between which two points of a concave mirror should an object be placed to obtain a magnificati of -3

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

When object is placed between the focus (F) and pole (P) of a concave mirror, magnified and erect image of the object is formed on the back of the mirror.

When object is placed between the centre of curvature and the principal focus of a concave mirror, magnified and inverted image is formed in front of the mirror.

Consider one such cell where the magnitude of the potential difference is 65 mV, and the inner surface of the membrane is at a h

Gelneren [198K]

Answer: W = $1.04.10^{-20}$ J

Explanation: Since the potassium ion is at the outside membrane of a cell and the potential here is lower than the potential inside the cell, the transport will need work to happen.

The work to transport an ion from a lower potential side to a higher potential side is calculated by

$W=q.\Delta V$

q is charge;

ΔV is the potential difference;

Potassium ion has +1 charge, which means:

p = $1.6.10^{-19}$ C

To determine work in joules, potential has to be in Volts, so:

$\Delta V=65.10^{-3}V$

Then, work is

$W=1.6.10^{-19}.65.10^{-3}$

$W=1.04.10^{-20}$

To move a potassium ion from the exterior to the interior of the cell, it is required $W=1.04.10^{-20}$ J of energy.

What quantity of heat is needed to convert 1 kg of ice at -13 degrees C to steam at 100 degrees C?

Effectus [21]

Answer:

Heat energy needed = 3036.17 kJ

Explanation:

We have

heat of fusion of water = 334 J/g

heat of vaporization of water = 2257 J/g

specific heat of ice = 2.09 J/g·°C

specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g·°C

specific heat of steam = 2.09 J/g·°C

Here wee need to convert 1 kg ice from -13°C to vapor at 100°C

First the ice changes to -13°C from 0°C , then it changes to water, then its temperature increases from 0°C to 100°C, then it changes to steam.

Mass of water = 1000 g

Heat energy required to change ice temperature from -13°C to 0°C

H₁ = mcΔT = 1000 x 2.09 x 13 = 27.17 kJ

Heat energy required to change ice from 0°C to water at 0°C

H₂ = mL = 1000 x 334 = 334 kJ

Heat energy required to change water temperature from 0°C to 100°C

H₃ = mcΔT = 1000 x 4.18 x 100 = 418 kJ

Heat energy required to change water from 100°C to steam at 100°C

H₄ = mL = 1000 x 2257 = 2257 kJ

Total heat energy required

H = H₁ + H₂ + H₃ + H₄ = 27.17 + 334 + 418 +2257 = 3036.17 kJ

Heat energy needed = 3036.17 kJ
