The electric potential difference across the membrane of a body cell is 0.070 V (higher on the outside than on the inside). The
12345 [234]

Answer:

The electric field is 8.75 \times 10^{6}~v~m^{-1} and the ditection is from outer to inner side of the membrane.

Explanation:

We know the electric field (\vec{E}) is given by \vec{E} = - \nabla V, 'V' being the potential.

In 1-D, it can be written as

E=\dfrac{V}{d}

where 'd' is the separation of space in between the potential difference is created.

Given, V = 0.070~V~ and the thickness of the cell membrane is d = 8.0 \times 10^{-9}~m.

Therefore the created electric field through the cell membrane is

E = \dfrac{0.07~V}{8 \times 10^{-9}~m} = 8.75 \times 10^{6}~m~s^{-1}

A runaway railroad car, with mass 30x10^4 kg, coasts across a level track at 2.0 m/s when it collides with a spring loaded bumpe
Natalija [7]

Answer:

0.775 m

Explanation:

As the car collides with the bumper, all the kinetic energy of the car (K) is converted into elastic potential energy of the bumper (U):

U=K\\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where we have

k=2\cdot 10^6 N/m is the spring constant of the bumper

x is the maximum compression of the bumper

m=30\cdot 10^4 kg is the mass of the car

v=2.0 m/s is the speed of the car

Solving for x, we find the maximum compression of the spring:

x=\sqrt{\frac{mv^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(30\cdot 10^4 kg)(2.0 m/s)^2}{2\cdot 10^6 N/m}}=0.775 m

a bicycle travels at a velocity of -2.33 m/s and has a displacement of -58.3 m. how much time did it take?
Alexandra [31]
We know that velocity is equal to the total displacement of an object over time.
velocity =  \frac{displacement}{time}
Deriving from that equation, we can say that:
t =  \frac{d}{v}
Okay, so here it goes:
t =  \frac{58.3m}{2.33 \frac{m}{s} } \\ t = 25.02s
The bicycle took 25.02 seconds to displace at 58.3 meters.
