The solution for this problem is:
Let u denote speed. 

Equating momentum before and after collision: 
= 0.060 * 40 = (1.5 + 0.060) u 
= 2.4 = 1.56 u
= 2.4 / 1.56 = 1.56 u / 1.56
= 1.6 m / s is the answer for this question. This is the speed after the collision.

What is the time constant of a 9.0-nm-thick membrane surrounding a 0.040-mm-diameter spherical cell? Assume the resistivity of t
yawa3891 [41]

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

What is the direction of the current flowing through the wire—left or right? The current flows to the .
muminat

Answer:

right

Explanation:

Current flows from the positive (+ve) terminal of the battery to the negative (-ve). This is called conventional current flow.

Therefore, the electrons are negatively charged and want to get away from the Negative Terminal and go to the Positive Terminal, Hence the electrons move from left to right and current flows from right to left.

An 80 N force causes a spring to compress 0.15 m. What is the spring constant? What is the potential energy of the spring?
Anni [7]
Force = -kx
80N=0.15m * -k
K=-80/0.15=533.333. Spring constant
Energy=1/2kx^2
1/2*(-80/0.15)*80^2=Energy
