Depends on the organism you are talking about

Bacteria get rid of waste through their semi-permeable membrane by diffusion. The waste is pushed out of the organism in the form of liquid or gas. The waste released by bacteria is usually toxic and is what makes people sick.

Sound waves travel fastest through a A) gas. B) liquid. C) solid. D) vacuum.

earnstyle [38]

Sound waves travel faster through <em>solids</em> than they do through gases or liquids. <em>(C) </em>They don't travel through vacuum at all.

Example:

Speed of sound in normal air . . . around 340 m/s

Speed of sound in water . . . around 1,480 m/s

Speed of sound in iron . . . around 5,120 m/s

A student drops a rock from a bridge to the water 12.7 m below. with what speed does the rock strike the water? the acceleration

kolezko [41]

The rock strike the water with the speed of 15.78 m/sec.

The speed by which rock hit the water is calculated by the formula

v= $\sqrt{2gh}$

v= $\sqrt{2*9.8*12.7}$

v=15.78 m/sec

Hence, the rock strike the water with the speed of 15.78 m/sec.

Two identical small metal spheres with q1 > 0 and |q1| > |q2| attract each other with a force of magnitude 72.1 mN when se

Brrunno [24]

1) $+2.19\mu C$

The electrostatic force between two charges is given by

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$ (1)

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the charges

When the two spheres are brought in contact with each other, the charge equally redistribute among the two spheres, such that each sphere will have a charge of

$\frac{Q}{2}$

where Q is the total charge between the two spheres.

So we can actually rewrite the force as

$F=k\frac{(\frac{Q}{2})^2}{r^2}$

And since we know that

r = 1.41 m (distance between the spheres)

$F= 21.63 mN = 0.02163 N$

(the sign is positive since the charges repel each other)

We can solve the equation for Q:

$Q=2\sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{k}}=2\sqrt{\frac{(0.02163)(1.41)^2}{8.98755\cdot 10^9}}}=4.37\cdot 10^{-6} C$

So, the final charge on the sphere on the right is

$\frac{Q}{2}=\frac{4.37\cdot 10^{-6} C}{2}=2.19\cdot 10^{-6}C=+2.19\mu C$

2) $q_1 = +6.70 \mu C$

Now we know the total charge initially on the two spheres. Moreover, at the beginning we know that

$F = -72.1 mN = -0.0721 N$ (we put a negative sign since the force is attractive, which means that the charges have opposite signs)

r = 1.41 m is the separation between the charges

And also,

$q_2 = Q-q_1$

So we can rewrite eq.(1) as

$F=k \frac{q_1 (Q-q_1)}{r^2}$

Solving for q1,

$Fr^2=k (q_1 Q-q_1^2})\\kq_1^2 -kQ q_1 +Fr^2 = 0$

Since $Q=4.37\cdot 10^{-6} C$ , we can substituting all numbers into the equation:

$8.98755\cdot 10^9 q_1^2 -3.93\cdot 10^4 q_1 -0.141 = 0$

which gives two solutions:

$q_1 = 6.70\cdot 10^{-6} C\\q_2 = -2.34\cdot 10^{-6} C$

Which correspond to the values of the two charges. Therefore, the initial charge q1 on the first sphere is

$q_1 = +6.70 \mu C$
