Answer:

b) the second at the doorknob.

Explanation:

The torque applied by a force is given by the equation

\tau = F_p d

where

\tau is the torque

F_p is the component of the force perpendicular to the direction between the axis of rotation and the point of application of the force

d is the arm (the distance between the axis of rotation and the point of application of the force)

In this problem, we have two equal forces F both applied perpendicular to a door, so

F_p = F

The first force is applied at the midpoint of the door; if we call L the width of the door, then the arm of this force is d_1=\frac{L}{2}, so the torque applied by this first force is

\tau_1 = F\frac{L}{2}

The 2nd force instead is applied at the doorknob, so the arm in this case is L:

d = L

So, the torque exerted by the second force is

\tau_2 = FL

Therefore, we see that the 2nd force exerts a greater torque.

Make a list of nutrients found in packed items and amount of nutrient present in them
mezya [45]

Nutrients found in packed items include carbohydrates, fats and proteins and the amount of nutrients present in them is found in calories/grams.

<h3>What are macronutrients?</h3>

Macronutrients are nutrients that contain calories that must be consumed in the diet to perform metabolic functions.

These macronutrients are specified in packed foods, and include proteins, carbohydrates and lipids.

Macronutrients provide 4 calories (proteins and carbohydrates) or 9 calories per gram (fats).

In conclusion, nutrients include carbohydrates, fats (lipids) and proteins and their proportions are expressed in grams.

On her camping trip, Penelope was in charge of collecting firewood. The firewood she found had a mass of 120 g and a volume of 4
zloy xaker [14]
From the formula: density=mass/volume
But first, we have to convert the cm³ to m³ by multiplying the value in cm³ by 10^-6, by so doing we'll have the volume to be 0.48*10^-3cm³.
we will also need to convert the mass which is in g to kg by simply dividing by 1000 so the mass becomes 0.12kg
Now we can solve for the density using the formula I earlier stated which is the mass divided by the volume =0.12/0.48*10^-3 so the density will be 0.25*10^3kgm-3 or 2.5*10^2kgm-3

Water ______________ easier in the mountains because there is less air pressure.
Alchen [17]
<h3>Answer: 1) Boils</h3>

The less air pushing down on the water effectively allows the water to boil easier. Think of the water molecules as a bunch of marbles bouncing around in a box with a lid. The less air pressure means the lid is easier to open from the force exerted by the bouncing marbles, allowing those particles to escape and turn into gas.

So in short, if you are in the mountains, then it'll take less time to cook food because water comes to a boil faster.

The inner and outer surfaces of a cell membrane carry a negative and positive charge respectively. Because of these charges, a p
padilas [110]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field inside the membrane is 8.8×10⁶V/m

Explanation:

The electric field due to electric potential at a distance Δs is given by

E=ΔV/Δs

We have to find the magnitude electric field in the membrane

Ecell= -ΔV/Δs

E_{cell}=-\frac{V_{in}-V_{out}}{s} \\E_{cell}=\frac{V_{out}-V_{in}}{s}\\E_{cell}=\frac{0.070V}{8*10^{-9}m } \\E_{cell}=8.8*10^{6}V/m

The magnitude of the electric field inside the membrane is 8.8×10⁶V/m
