Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An atom consists of three sub-atomic particles that is, protons, neutrons and electrons.

Protons are positively charged, neutrons have no charge and electrons are negatively charged.

Both protons and neutrons are present inside the nucleus and electrons revolve around the nucleus. Due to like charges of protons there occur electrostatic forces of repulsion which are overcome by a strong nuclear force that is known as binding energy.

Hence, we can conclude that the strong nuclear force hold the nucleus of an atom together as it overcomes the electrical force of repulsion between protons in the nucleus.

The strong nuclear force holds the nucleus of an atom together.

Somehow, it overcomes the electrical force of repulsion between protons in the nucleus, which all have the same charge but still stay close together somehow. (b)

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.

Which item is not considered electromagnetic energy?

suter [353]

Sound waves are known to be the one that's not considered as a type of electromagnetic energy. As for microwaves and x-rays, they tend to share the same frequencies that can be considered as electromagnetic, and sound waves have a different frequency than them.

A capacitor with initial charge q0 is discharged through a resistor. a) In terms of the time constant τ, how long is required fo

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

It would take $\tau(\ln 9 - \ln 8)$ time for the capacitor to discharge from $q_0$ to $\displaystyle \frac{8}{9} \, q_0$ .

It would take $\tau(\ln 9 - \ln 7)$ time for the capacitor to discharge from $q_0$ to $\displaystyle \frac{7}{9}\, q_0$ .

Note that $\ln 9 = 2\,\ln 3$ , and that $\ln 8 = 3\, \ln 2$ .

Explanation:

In an RC circuit, a capacitor is connected directly to a resistor. Let the time constant of this circuit is $\tau$ , and the initial charge of the capacitor be $q_0$ . Then at time $t$ , the charge stored in the capacitor would be:

$\displaystyle q(t) = q_0 \, e^{-t / \tau}$ .

$\displaystyle q(t) = \left(1 - \frac{1}{9}\right) \, q_0 = \frac{8}{9}\, q_0$ .

Apply the equation $\displaystyle q(t) = q_0 \, e^{-t / \tau}$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{8}{9}\, q_0 = q_0 \, e^{-t/\tau}$ .

The goal is to solve for $t$ in terms of $\tau$ . Rearrange the equation:

$\displaystyle e^{-t/\tau} = \frac{8}{9}$ .

Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

$\displaystyle \ln\, e^{-t/\tau} = \ln \frac{8}{9}$ .

$\displaystyle -\frac{t}{\tau} = \ln 8 - \ln 9$ .

$t = - \tau \, \left(\ln 8 - \ln 9\right) = \tau(\ln 9 - \ln 8)$ .

$\displaystyle q(t) = \left(1 - \frac{1}{9}\right) \, q_0 = \frac{7}{9}\, q_0$ .

Apply the equation $\displaystyle q(t) = q_0 \, e^{-t / \tau}$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{7}{9}\, q_0 = q_0 \, e^{-t/\tau}$ .

The goal is to solve for $t$ in terms of $\tau$ . Rearrange the equation:

$\displaystyle e^{-t/\tau} = \frac{7}{9}$ .

Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

$\displaystyle \ln\, e^{-t/\tau} = \ln \frac{7}{9}$ .

$\displaystyle -\frac{t}{\tau} = \ln 7 - \ln 9$ .

$t = - \tau \, \left(\ln 7 - \ln 9\right) = \tau(\ln 9 - \ln 7)$ .

An airplane flies with a constant speed of 840km/h. how far can it travel in 1 hour?

arlik [135]

Distance = speed X time

In this example, the speed of the airplane = 840km. The time (that the question is asking)is how far can it travel in 1 hour.

So just plug in your numbers.

Distance = 840km X 1 hour = 840km/hour or 840km for short.
