3000 miles (1609 meters/1 mile)

= 4827000 meters

Light travels at 2.998 X 10^8 m/s

4827000 meters (1 s/2.998 X 10^8 m/s)

= 0.016 seconds

The diffusion rate for a solute is 4.0 x 10^-11 kg/s in a solvent- filled channel that has a cross-sectional area of 0.50 cm^2 a

zlopas [31]

Answer:

$s = 9.6\times 10^{-12}kg/s$

Explanation:

Given:

Solute Diffusion rate = 4.0 × 10⁻¹¹ kg/s

Area of cross-section = 0.50 cm²

Length of channel =0.25 cm

Now for the new channel

Area of cross-section = 0.30 cm²

Length of channel =0.10 cm

let the Solute Diffusion rate of new channel = s

now equating the diffusion rate per unit volume for both the channels

$\frac{4\times 10^{-11}}{0.50\times 0.25}=\frac{s}{0.30\times 0.10}$

thus,

$s = 9.6\times 10^{-12}kg/s$

If potential energy at point A is 12 joules, what is the potential energy at D?

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

In D: 3J

Explanation:

Potential energy: Ep=mgh where m is the mass, h altitude.

In point A: h=20cm=0.2m

Epa=12=0.2×mg. Thus mg=12/0.2=60N

For point D: hd=5cm=0.05m

Epd=mg×0.05=60×0.05=3J

There is less oxygen in air at higher altitudes than at sea level. Scientists have shown that people living at sea level have 5

Ivanshal [37]

Answer with Explanation:

"Red Blood Cells" (RBCs) contain Hemoglobin that is responsible for carrying oxygen into the body. When people are exposed to higher altitudes, the number RBCs in the body increases. This is because the body has a hard time taking in oxygen due to low atmospheric pressure. It makes it hard for oxygen to pass through the lung membranes. This is called "hypoxia." Such condition deprives the body from oxygen, thus, it creates more red blood cells in order to compensate the condition.

When it comes to people living at sea level, the oxygen can easily pass through the lung membranes due to higher atmospheric pressure. This doesn't require the body to build new RBCs. Therefore, the numbers of RBCs needed by people to thrive is lower than living at higher altitudes.

what is the difference between kinetic energy and random motion of a cylider of oxygen carried by a car and one standing on a pl

pochemuha

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

If we are talking about the kinetic energy of the cylinder of oxygen:

The kinetic energy possessed by any object is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

In this case, we have one cylinder carried by a car and one standing on a platform: this means that the speed of the cylinder carried by the car will be different from zero (and so also its kinetic energy will be different from zer), while the speed of the cylinder standing on the platform will be zero (and so its kinetic energy also zero). Therefore, the kinetic energy of the cylinder carried by the car will be larger than that standing on a platform.

Instead, if we are talking about the kinetic energy due to the random motion of the molecules of oxygen inside the cylinder:

The kinetic energy of the molecules in a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas:

$K=\frac{3}{2}kT$

where k is called Boltzmann constant and T is the absolute temperature of the gas. Therefore, we see that K does not depend on whether the gas is in motion or not, but only on its temperature - therefore, in this case there is no difference between the kinetic energy of the cylinder carried by the car and that standing on the platform (assuming they are at the same temperature)
