<span>The bone is made up of calcium. Calcium along with collagen helps to make the bones very strong, like concrete. Bones have a very high tensile strength, that is why we can put the pressure of our body weight on them without the bones being broken immediately. The structure of the bone also helps since the shaft is made up of compact bone which is very good at resisting tension. To help with the compressional strength of the bones, the extremities are made of cancellous material which is very good at fighting compression. All in all, the material and engineering of the bone allow it to be rigid, yet flexible, making them hard to break and good at their function of support and protection.</span>

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

how large a magnetic field would you experience = 8.16 x 10∧-4T

Explanation:

I = 20KA = 20,000A

r = 4.9 m

how large a magnetic field would you experience =  u.I/2πr

how large a magnetic field would you experience = (4π x10∧-7) × 20000/2π × 4.9

how large a magnetic field would you experience = 8.16 x 10∧-4T

A skateboarder with a mass of 60 kg moves with a force of 20 N. What is her acceleration?
Zanzabum

Explanation:

Solution,

  • Mass(m)= 60 kg
  • Force (F)= 20 N
  • Acceleration (a)= ?

We know that,

  • F=ma
  • a=F/m
  • a=20/60
  • a=0.333 m/s²

So, her acceleration is 0.333 m/s².

A dumbell has a mass of 95 kg. What force must be applied to accelerate it upward at 2.2 m/s2?
Sveta_85 [38]
A :-) F = ma
Given - m = 95 kg
a = 2.2 m/s^2
Solution -
F = ma
F = 95 x 2.2
F = 209

.:. The force is 209 N

Calculate the standard electrode potential difference (e°) of the daniell cell (at 1 bar) if temperature is 473.15 k.
anzhelika [568]
Missing data in the text of the exercise: The molar concentration of Zinc is 10 times the molar concentration of copper.

Solution:

1) First of all, let's calculate the standard electrode potential difference at standard temperature. This is given by:
E^0=E_{cat}^0-E_{an}^0
where E_{cat}^0 is the standard potential at the cathode, while E_{an}^0 is the standard potential at the anode. For a Daniel Cell, at the cathode we have copper: E_{Cu}^0=+0.34 V, while at the anode we have zinc: E_{Zn}^0=-0.76 V. Therefore, at standard temperature the electrode potential difference of the Daniel Cell is
E^0=+0.34 V-(-0.76 V)=+1.1 V

2) To calculate E^0 at any temperature T, we should use Nerst equation:
E^0(T)=E^0- \frac{R T}{z F} \ln  \frac{[Zn]}{[Cu]}
where 
R=8.31 J/(K mol)
T=473.15 K is the temperature in our problem
z=2 is the number of electrons transferred in the cell's reaction
F=9.65\cdot 10^4 C/mol is the Faraday's constant
[Zn] and [Cu] are the molar concentrations of zinc and in copper, and in our problem we have [Zn]=10[Cu].
Using all these data inside the equation, and using E^0=+1.1 V, in the end we find:
E^0(T)=E^0- \frac{R T}{z F} \ln \frac{[Zn]}{[Cu]}=+1.053 V
