A. Coal is used to primarily to produce and generate electricity and it is responsible for 39 percent of the power supply for the united states.
Kinetic energy= .5 x m x v^2
KE=.5 x 4.2 x 3.85^2
KE=31.13
Given Information:
Diameter of spherical cell = 0.040 mm
thickness = L = 9 nm
Resistivity = ρ = 3.6×10⁷ Ω⋅m
Dielectric constant = k = 9.0
Required Information:
time constant = τ = ?
Answer:
time constant = 2.87×10⁻³ seconds
Explanation:
The time constant is given by
τ = RC
Where R is the resistance and C is the capacitance.
We know that resistivity of of any material is given by
ρ = RA/L
R = ρL/A
Where area of spherical cell is given by
A = 4πr²
A = 4π(d/2)²
A = 4π(0.040×10⁻³/2)²
A = 5.026×10⁻⁹ m²
The resistance becomes
R = (3.6×10⁷*9×10⁻⁹)/5.026×10⁻⁹
R = 6.45×10⁷ Ω
The capacitance of the cell membrane is given by
C = kεoA/L
Where k = 9 is the dielectric constant and εo = 8.854×10⁻¹² F/m
C = (9*8.854×10⁻¹²*5.026×10⁻⁹)/9×10⁻⁹
C = 44.5 pF
C = 44.5×10⁻¹² F
Therefore, the time constant is
τ = RC
τ = 6.45×10⁷*44.5×10⁻¹²
τ = 2.87×10⁻³ seconds
Answer:
Approximately 
. (Assuming that 
, and that the tabletop is level.)
Explanation:
Weight of the book:
.
If the tabletop is level, the normal force on the book will be equal (in magnitude) to weight of the book. Hence, 
.
As a side note, the 
and 
on this book are not equal- these two forces are equal in size but point in the opposite directions.
When the book is moving, the friction 
on it will be equal to
, the coefficient of kinetic friction, times
, the normal force that's acting on it.
That is:
.
Friction acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion. The friction here should act in the opposite direction of that 
applied force. The net force on the book shall be:
.
Apply Newton's Second Law to find the acceleration of this book:
.
