Under certain circumstances, potassium ions (K+) in a cell will move across the cell membrane from the inside to the outside. Th

e potential inside the cell is − 85.5 mV and the potential outside the cell is zero. a. What is the change in the electrical potential energy of a single potassium ion as it moves across the membrane?b. Does the potential energy of the potassium ions increase, decrease, or remain the same as the ions move from the inside to the outside?

Answer:

1.368\times 10^{-20}\ J

Explanation:

q = Charge in the potassium ion = 19e-18e

e = Charge of electron = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

V_2-V_1 = Change in potential = 0-(-85.5\times 10^{-3})

Change in electric potential is given by

E=q(V_2-V_1)\\\Rightarrow E=(19e-18e)(0-(-85.5\times 10^{-3})\\\Rightarrow E=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 85.5\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow E=1.368\times 10^{-20}\ J

The energy is 1.368\times 10^{-20}\ J

Compared to Jupiter, Saturn's atmosphere is more uniform with no significant variation in color in the lower cloud levels. much
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Compared to Jupiter, Saturn's atmosphere is more calm with fewer disturbances or storms.

The Atmosphere in Jupiter is highly violent and thinner as compared with Saturn.

The layers of atmosphere on Saturn is thicker because of lower gravity of Saturn and hence they are calmer.

A 1000-kg car is moving at 30 m/s around a horizontal unbanked curve whose diameter is 0.20 km. What is the magnitude of the fri
omeli [17]

Answer:

4500 N

Explanation:

When a body is moving in a circular motion it will feel an acceleration directed towards the center of the circle, this acceleration is:

a = v^2/r

where v is the velocity of the body and r is the radius of the circumference:

Therefore, a body with mass m, will feel a force f:

f = m v^2/r

Therefore we need another force to keep the body(car) from sliding, this will be given by friction, remember that friction force is given a the normal times a constant of friction mu, that is:

fs = μN = μmg

The car will not slide if     f = fs,   i.e.

fs = μmg =  m v^2/r

That is, the magnitude of the friction force must be (at least) equal to the force due to the centripetal acceleration

fs = (1000 kg)  * (30m/s)^2 / (200 m) = 4500 N
