Two red blood cells each have a mass of 9.05×10−14 kg and carry a negative charge spread uniformly over their surfaces. The repu

lsion arising from the excess charge prevents the cells from clumping together. One cell carries −2.10 pC and the other −3.30 pC, and each cell can be modeled as a sphere 3.75×10−6 m in radius. If the red blood cells start very far apart and move directly toward each other with the same speed, what initial speed would each need so that they get close enough to just barely touch? Assume that there is no viscous drag from any of the surrounding liquid.

Answer:

v = 302.923 m/s

Explanation:

We can answer this question using conservation of energy. Since there is no energy loss (e.g. no viscous drag) the energy when they are far apart and the energy when they barely touch must be the same.

The initial energy must be equal to the sum of their kinetic energies, since they are far apart to feel their electrical interaction.

Ei = (1/2)mv1^2 + (1/2)m*v2^2

Let us consider that they move with the same speed:

Ei = mv^2

If we consider the case when they barely touch, there won't be any kinetic energy, just pure electromagnetic energy:

Ef = k q1q2/(r1+r2) = k q1q2/(2r1)

Since Ei = Ef

v^2 = (k/m) q1q2/(2r1)

where

  k = 8.98755 x10^9 Nm^2/C^2

  m = 9.05 x10^-14 kg

  q1 = −2.10 pC

  q2 = −3.30 pC

  r1 = 3.75×10^−6 m

v^2 = 91762.4 m^2/s^2

v = 302.923 m/s

El dormitorio de Pablo es rectangular, y sus lados miden 3 y 4 metros. Ha decidido dividirlo en dos partes triangulares con una
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

 c = 5 m

Explanation:

this exercise you want to divide the rectangular room into two triangular rooms

                 

the area of ​​triangles is

           A = ½ base height

           A = ½ 4 3

          A = 6 m²

the length of the curtain can be found using the Pythagorean theorem

           c² = b² + a²

           c = √ (4² + 3²)

           c = 5 m

this is the length of the curtain

What is the relation between celsius and kelvin​
Scilla [17]

Answer:

The Celcius and kelvin scale are related unit for unit. One degree unit on the Celcius scale is equivalent to one degree unit on the kelvin scale. The only difference between these two scales is the zero point.

Help !!!! Estimate the number of breaths taken by a person during 44 years?
Lisa [10]
44 x 12. I got the 12 from the total of 12 months in a year.


44 > 40

x
12 > 10
----------
The way my teacher taught me how to estimate is look at the neighbor to 44 and 12. The only time 44 can become 50, is when the neighbor is 5 or up. Same thing for 12. Now, multiply 40 and 10.

40 x 10 = 400.

Therefore, your estimate is 400.

The real answer is 520 breaths.

. A milk truck carries milk with density 64.6 lbyft3 in a horizontal cylindrical tank with diameter 6 ft. (a) Find the force exe
Goryan [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

one end of tank will be circular in shape . Area of circle A

= π r² , r is radius of the circle

= 3.14 x 3²

A = 28.26 ft³

To calculate force  on the circular area , we first find pressure at the center of the circle which is at depth equal to r

pressure at the center = h d g ' here h = depth = r   , d = density of milk

pressure = 3 x 64.6 x 32 poundal / ft²

= 6201.6 poundal / ft²

total force on circular face = pressure at the center x area of circle

= 6201.6 x 28.26

= 175257.21 poundal .

a coil of 40 henry inductance is connected in series with aresistance of 8ohm and the combination is joined to the terminals of
Andreyy89

Answer: 5 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following :

Inductance (L) = 40 henry

Resistance = 8 ohms

The circuit given above is a Resistor - Inductor (RL) circuit network. The time constant of an RL circuit is the ratio of the circuit Inductance (L) and Resistance (R). Time constant is measured in seconds.

THAT IS;

Time constant = L / R

THEREFORE ;

Time constant = 40 / 8

Time constant = 5 seconds
