A typical virus is a packet of protein and DNA (or RNA) and can be spherical in shape. The influenza A virus is a spherical viru

s that has a diameter of 89.2 nm. If the volume of saliva coughed onto you by your friend with the flu is 0.0100 cm3 and 10−9 is the fraction of that volume that consists of viral particles, what is the order of magnitude of the influenza viruses that have just landed on you?

Answer:

10⁻⁶

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the volume of saliva coughed up by my friend is 0.0100 cm³ and 10⁺⁹ of this volume contains the virus. The volume containing the virus is thus V = 0.0100 cm³ × 10⁺⁹ = 0.0100 × 10⁺⁹ cm³ = 0.0100 × 10⁺⁹ × 10⁻⁶ m³ = 0.0100 × 10⁺¹⁵ m³.

Now, since the flu virus is spherical, its volume is v = 4πr³/3 where r is its radius.

Let n flu viruses be contained in the volume V of flu viruses coughed out by my friend.

So n × v = V

v = V/n

4πr³/3 = V/n

r = ∛(3V/4πn)

substituting the value of V into the equation, we have

r = ∛(3 × 0.0100 × 10⁺¹⁵ m³/4πn)

r = (∛0.03/4πn) × 10⁻⁵ m

r = 0.1336/∛n × 10⁻⁵ m

r = 1.336/∛n × 10⁻⁶ m

Since the factor 10⁻⁶ is found in the radius, the order of magnitude of the influenza virus that have just landed on me are of the order 10⁻⁶

The area of a circular wave expands across a still pond such that its radius increases by 14 cm each second. Write a formula for
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

A = π(14t)²

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius is increasing at the rate of 14 cm per second.

We need to find the formula for the area A of the circle as the function of time t.

Initial area of the circle,

A = πr², where r is the radius of the circle

Area as a function of t will be :

A = π(14t)²

Here, 14t is the radius of the wave.

1. M is the midpoint of LN and O is the midpoint of NP.
Reptile [31]
1. M is the midpoint of LN and O is the midpoint of NP. This makes the triangle MNO equal to half of LNP. Then you can get this equation
MO= (1/2) LP

If you insert MO = 2x +6 and LP = 8x – 20 the calculation would be:
2x+6= (1/2)( 8x-20)
2x+6= 4x-10
2x-4x= -10 - 6
-2x= -16
x=8

2. Centroid is the point that intersects with three median lines of the triangle. The centroid should divide the median lines into 1:2 ratio. In AC lines, A located in the base so A.F:FC would be 1:2

Then, the answer would be:
A.F= 1/(1+2) * AC
A.F= 1/3 * 12= 4

FC= 2/(1+2) * AC
FC= 2/3 * 12= 8

3. Since
∠BAD=∠DAC
∠ABD=∠ACD
AD=AD
The triangle ABD and ACD are similar. You can get this equation
BD=DC
x+8= 3x+12
x-3x= 12-8
-2x=4
x=-2

DC=3x+12= 3(-2) +12= 6

4. Orthocenter made by intersection of triangle altitude
A
BC lines slope would be (-4)-(-1)/1-4= -3/-3= 1. The altitude line slope would be -1, the function would be:
y=-x +a
0= 1+a
a=-1
y=-x-1
B
AC lines slope would be (-4)-(-1)/1-0= -3. The altitude line slope would be 1/3, the function would be:
y=1/3x+a
-1=1/3(4)+a
a=-7/3
y=1/3x - 7/3

C
BC lines slope would be (-1)-(-1)/4 = 0/4. 
The line would be 
0=x+a
a=-1
0=x-1
x=1

y=-x-1 = 1/3x-7/3
-x-(1/3x)=-7/3 +1
-4/3x= -4/3
x=1

y=-x-1
y=-1-1= -2
The orthocenter would be (1,-2)

5. 
a. Circumcenter: the intersection of perpendicular bisector lines<span>
b. Incenter: the intersection of bisector lines
c. Centroid: </span>the intersection of median lines<span>
d. Orthocenter: </span>the intersection of altitude lines
