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 $1.368\times 10^{-20}\ J$

Answer:

11760 joules

Explanation:

Given

Mass (m) = 75kg

Height (h) = 16m

Required

Determine the increment in potential energy (PE)

This is calculated as thus:

PE = mgh

Where g = 9.8m/s²

Substitute values for m, g and h.

P.E = 75 * 9.8 * 16

P.E = 11760 joules

An object has the acceleration graph shown in (Figure 1). Its velocity at t=0s is vx=2.0m/s. Draw the object's velocity graph fo

timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

We may notice that change in velocity can be obtained by calculating areas between acceleration lines and horizontal axis ("Time"). Mathematically, we know that:

$v_{b}-v_{a} = \int\limits^{t_{b}}_{t_{a}} {a(t)} \, dt$

$v_{b} = v_{a}+ \int\limits^{t_{b}}_{t_{a}} {a(t)} \, dt$

Where:

$v_{a}$ , $v_{b}$ - Initial and final velocities, measured in meters per second.

$t_{a}$ , $t_{b}$ - Initial and final times, measured in seconds.

$a(t)$ - Acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

Acceleration is the slope of velocity, as we know that each line is an horizontal one, then, velocity curves are lines with slopes different of zero. There are three region where velocities should be found:

Region I (t = 0 s to t = 4 s)

$v_{4} = 2\,\frac{m}{s} +\int\limits^{4\,s}_{0\,s} {\left(-2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)} \, dt$

$v_{4} = 2\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(-2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (4\,s-0\,s)$

$v_{4} = -6\,\frac{m}{s}$

Region II (t = 4 s to t = 6 s)

$v_{6} = -6\,\frac{m}{s} +\int\limits^{6\,s}_{4\,s} {\left(1\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)} \, dt$

$v_{6} = -6\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(1\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (6\,s-4\,s)$

$v_{6} = -4\,\frac{m}{s}$

Region III (t = 6 s to t = 10 s)

$v_{10} = -4\,\frac{m}{s} +\int\limits^{10\,s}_{6\,s} {\left(2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)} \, dt$

$v_{10} = -4\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (10\,s-6\,s)$

$v_{10} = 4\,\frac{m}{s}$

Finally, we draw the object's velocity graph as follows. Graphic is attached below.

Learning Task 1: Define or describe the following words relat are not familiar with the word, you may ask assistance from y your

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

1.) TABLE = The table is 2.74 m (9.0 ft) long, 1.525 m (5.0 ft) wide, and 76 cm (2.5 ft) high with any continuous material so long as the table yields a uniform bounce of about 23 cm (9.1 in) when a standard ball is dropped onto it from a height of 30 cm (11.8 in), or about 77%.

2.) TENNIS = Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a tennis racket that is strung with cord to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over or around a net and into the opponent's court.

3.) PING-PONG = Table tennis, also known as ping-pong and whiff-whaff, is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight ball, also known as the ping-pong ball, back and forth across a table using small rackets. ... Spinning the ball alters its trajectory and limits an opponent's options, giving the hitter a great advantage.

4.) NET = This is stretched across the centter of the table by a cord attached to a post at either end. It measures 6ft long and the ball must pass over it for a rally to continue.

5.) BALL = The ball, which is spherical and hollow, was once made of white celluloid. Since 1969 a plastic similar to celluloid has been used. The ball, which may be coloured white, yellow, or orange, weighs about 0.09 ounce (2.7 grams) and has a diameter of about 1.6 inches (4 cm).

6.) RACKET = A table tennis racket is made up of two distinct parts - a wooden blade which incorporates the handle together with table tennis rubbers affixed to each side of the blade using water-based glue.
