Answer:

The proton gradient produced by proton pumping during the electron transport chain is used to synthesize ATP. Protons flow down their concentration gradient into the matrix through the membrane protein ATP synthase, causing it to spin (like a water wheel) and catalyze conversion of ADP to ATP.

Ben hit a 0.25kg nail into a wood with a 5.2kg hammer. If the hammer moves witht the speed of 52 m/s and two fifth of its kineti

Art [367]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of nails is 0.25kg

Mass of hammer 5.2kg

Speed of hammer is =52m/s

Then, Ben kinetic energy is given as

K.E= ½mv²

K.E= ½×5.2×52²

K.E= 7030.4J

Given that, two-fifth of kinetic energy is converted to internal energy

Internal energy (I.E) = 2/5 × K.E

Internal energy (I.E) = 2/5 × 7030.4

I.E=2812.16J.

Energy increase is total Kinetic energy - the internal energy

∆Et= K.E-I.E

∆Et= 7030.4 - 2812.16

∆Et= 4218.24J

A proposed space station consists of a circular tube that will rotate about its center (like a tubular bicycle tire), Fig. 5–39.

Trava [24]

Answer:

1742.24106 revolutions per day

Explanation:

v = Velocity

d = Diameter = 1.1 km

r = Radius = $\dfrac{d}{2}=\dfrac{1.1}{2}=0.55\ km$

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

g = 0.9 g

The centrifugal force will balance the gravitational force

$F_c=mg\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{mv^2}{r}=m0.9g\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.9gmr}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{0.9gr}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{0.9\times 9.81\times 0.55\times 10^3}\\\Rightarrow v=69.68464\ m/s$

$\dfrac{1}{T}=\dfrac{v}{2\pi r}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{T}=\dfrac{69.68464}{2\pi 0.55\times 10^3}\times 24\times 60\times 60\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{T}=1742.24106\ rev/day$

The rotation speed is 1742.24106 revolutions per day
