g As observed on earth, a certain type of bacteria is known to double in number every 24 hours. Two cultures of these bacteria a

re prepared, each consisting initially of one bacterium. One culture is left on earth and the other placed on a rocket that travels at a speed of 0.893c relative to the earth. At a time when the earthbound culture has grown to 256 bacteria, how many bacteria are in the culture on the rocket, according to an earth-based observer

Answer:

86.4 hrs

Explanation:

The amount of bacteria is initially 1

It doubles every 24 hrs.

After first 24 hrs, the amount = 2

After next 24 hrs = 4

After next 24 hrs = 8

After next 24 hrs = 16

After next 24 hrs = 32

After next 24 hrs = 64

After next 24 hrs = 128

After next 24 hrs = 256

Total time taken to reach 256 = 24 x 8 = 192 hrs

For the bacteria culture on the rocket that travels at a speed of 0.893c relative to the earth, this time is contracted by the relationship

t = t'(1 - ¥^2)^0.5

Where t is the contracted time =?

t' is the time on earth

¥ = v/c

Where v is the speed of the rocket

c is the speed of light

since v = 0.893c

¥ = 0.893

Substituting, we have

t = 192 x (1 - 0.893^2)^0.5

t = 192 x 0.2025^0.5

t = 192 x 0.45 = 86.4 hrs

A 4.8 mF capacitor in series with a 500 Ω resistor is connected, by a switch, to a 12 V battery. The current through the resisto
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Current will be 81.7 mA

Which is not given in bellow option

Explanation:

We have given  capacitance C=4.8mF=4.8\times 10^{-3}F

Resistance R = 500 ohm

Voltage V = 12 volt

We know that time constant of RC circuit of RC circuit is given by

\tau =RC=500\times 4.8\times 10^{-3}=2.4sec

Time is given as t = 1 sec

We know that current in RC circuit is given by

i=\frac{v}{R}(1-e^{\frac{-t}{\tau }})

So current i=\frac{12}{500}(1-e^{\frac{-1}{2.4 }})=0.00817A=81.7mA

Which is not given in the following option

The activation of clotting factors will be blocked.
dedylja [7]

With the blocking of activation of clotting factors, the rate of conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin will decrease to a huge extent and this will prevent the clot formation.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The process of stopping of flow of blood through any wound by formation of a clot is known as blood clotting. The clot in blood is formed by conversion of the fibrinogen protein into its polymer form fibrin which forms a meshwork.

The conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin requires a lot of enzymes and factors present which is required one by one, known as the Cascade theory. Total of 13 factors are required, where there are prothrombin, thromboplastin, and different other factors. Inactivation of any of the 13 factors will lead to less conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, thereby the rate of conversion will highly decrease.
