 If a boat motor catches fire, you should immediately shut off the fuel supply, and try to put out the fire with an extinguisher. It is very important to have fully charged fire extinguishers on hand. As soon as you notice the fire activate the extinguisher and do not panic. In order to prevent fire remember to c<span>lean the bilges often and maintain proper gear stowage, make sure short-tie cables are properly connected...</span>

Radiation transfers energy by moving matter. Please select the best answer from the choices provided
densk [106]
The answer is b. False because radiation transfers energy by the propagation of waves within the electromagnetic spectrum and the travel of photons. Therefore, no matter is moved within this process.

The membrane of a living cell can be approximated by a parallel-plate capacitor with plates of area 4.50×10−9 m2 , a plate separ
Marizza181 [45]

The energy stored in the membrane is 6.44\cdot 10^{-14} J

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by

C=\frac{k\epsilon_0 A}{d}

where

k is the dielectric constant of the material

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

For the membrane in this problem, we have

k = 4.6

A=4.50\cdot 10^{-9} m^2

d=8.1\cdot 10^{-9} m

Substituting, we find its capacitance:

C=\frac{(4.6)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(4.50\cdot 10^{-9})}{8.1\cdot 10^{-9}}=2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F

Now we can find the energy stored: for a capacitor, it is given by

U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

where

C=2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F is the capacitance

V=7.55\cdot 10^{-2} V is the potential difference

Substituting,

U=\frac{1}{2}(2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F)(7.55\cdot 10^{-2})^2=6.44\cdot 10^{-14} J

At locations A and B, the electric potential has the values VA = 1.83 V and VB = 5.17 V, respectively. A proton released from re
densk [106]

Answer:

a. It starts at point B.

vp = 2.53*10⁴ m/s

a. it starts at point A.

ve= 1.08*10⁶ m/s

Explanation:

a)  As the proton is a positive charge, when released from rest, it will be accelerated due to the potential difference, from the higher potential to the lower one, so it is at the point B when released.

Once released, as the total energy must be conserved, the increase in kinetic energy must be equal (in magnitude) to the change in the electric potential energy, as follows:

ΔK + ΔUe = 0 ⇒ ΔK = -ΔUe =- (e*ΔV)

⇒ -( e* (VA-VB) ) = \frac{1}{2}*mp*v^{2}

where e= elementary charge= 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C,  VA = 1.83 V, VB= 5.17V, and mp= mass of proton = 1.67*10⁻²⁷ kg.

Replacing by these values, and solving for v, we have:

v = \sqrt{\frac{2*1.6e-19C*3.34 V}{1.67e-27kg} } = 2.53e4 m/s

⇒ vp = 2.53*10⁴ m/s

b) If, instead of a proton, the charge realeased from rest, had been an electron, a few things would change:

First, as the electrons carry negative charges, they move from the lower potentials to the higher ones, which means that it would have started at point A.

Second, as its charge is (-e) the change in electric potential energy had been negative also:

ΔUe = -e*ΔV = -e* (VB-VA)

In order to find the speed of the electron when it is just passing point B, we can apply the conservation of energy principle as for the proton, as follows:

-( (-e)* (VB-VA) ) = \frac{1}{2}*me*v^{2}

where e= elementary charge= 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C,  VA = 1.83 V, VB= 5.17V, and me= mass of electron = 9.1*10⁻³¹ kg.

Replacing by these values, and solving for v, we have:

v = \sqrt{\frac{2*1.6e-19C*3.34 V}{9.1e-31kg} } = 1.08e6 m/s

⇒ ve = 1.08*10⁶ m/s

A<br> B <br> C <br> D<br><br> Plz help me.
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The correct option is;

{}               Man doing most work   {}    Box gaining the most energy

D   {}                 Y                                          Q

Explanation:

The given parameters of the question are;

The distance the box P is pushed by the Man X = 0

The force the Man X applies to the box P = x N

The distance the box Q is lifted by the Man Y = h > 0 meters

The minimum force the Man Y applies to the box Q = W, the weight of the box

Work done = Force × Distance

Energy gained = Potential energy + Kinetic Energy = (Mass × Gravity × Height = Weight × Height  = W × h) + 1/2 × Mass × Velocity²

The final velocity of either box = 0 m/s (The boxes are at rest on the ground or the shelf)

Therefore, Kinetic energy = 0 J

The work done by Man X = 0 × x = 0 J

The energy gained by the box P = W × 0 = 0 J

The work done by Man Y = W × h = W·h J

The energy gained by the box P = W × h = W·h J

We have, the work done by the man Y = W·h J is more than the work done by the man X = 0 J

The energy gained by the box P = W·h J is more than the energy gained by the box Q = 0 J

Therefore, the correct option is D, Man doing the most work is Y, box gaining the most energy is Q.
