Cells are small so they can maximise the ratio of surface area to volume.

That's the short answer, hope this helped

If you drop an object, it accelerates downward at 9.8 m/s2 (in the absence of air resistance). If, instead, you throw it downwar
Korvikt [17]

If you drop an object, it accelerates downward at 9.8 m/s2 (in the absence of air resistance). If instead, you throw it downward, its downward acceleration after release is 9.8 m/s2.

Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity with respect to time changes. They are vector quantities and accelerations. The direction of the net force acting on an object determines the direction of its acceleration. Uniform acceleration, non-uniform acceleration, and average acceleration are the three different forms of accelerated motions.

A free-falling object experiences a downward acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s (on Earth). This specific designation is given to the numerical value for an object in free fall because it is such an essential value. The longer an object is in free fall, the faster it descends toward the ground due to gravity. In actuality, an object's velocity rises by 9.8 m/s2, so it reaches 9.8 m/s by the time it begins to fall.

A 2.0-cm-diameter parallel-plate capacitor with a spacing of 0.50 mm is charged to 200 V?What is the total energy stores in the
Rama09 [41]

1) 1.11\cdot 10^{-7} J

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by:

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

where

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of each plate

d is the distance between the plates

Here, the radius of each plate is

r=\frac{2.0 cm}{2}=1.0 cm=0.01 m

so the area is

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.01 m)^2=3.14\cdot 10^{-4} m^2

While the separation between the plates is

d=0.50 mm=5\cdot 10^{-4} m

So the capacitance is

C=\frac{(8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)(3.14\cdot 10^{-4} m^2)}{5\cdot 10^{-4} m}=5.56\cdot 10^{-12} F

And now we can find the energy stored,which is given by:

U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2=\frac{1}{2}(5.56\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)(200 V)^2=1.11\cdot 10^{-7} J

2) 0.71 J/m^3

The magnitude of the electric field is given by

E=\frac{V}{d}=\frac{200 V}{5\cdot 10^{-4} m}=4\cdot 10^5 V/m

and the energy density of the electric field is given by

u=\frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E^2

and using

E=4\cdot 10^5 V/m, we find

u=\frac{1}{2}(8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)(4\cdot 10^5 V/m)^2=0.71 J/m^3

A radio signal has a frequency of 1.023 x 108 HZ. If the speed of the signal in air is 2.997 x 108m/s, what is the wavelength of
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

2.93 m  (which agrees with answer "C" on the list)

Explanation:

Recall that the speed of the wave equals the product of the wave's length times its frequency. Therefore, the wavelength is going to be the quotient of the speed of the signal divided its frequency:

Wavelength = 2.997  10^8 / 1.023  10^8 =  2.93 m

One of two nonconducting spherical shells of radius a carries a charge Q uniformly distributed over its surface, the other carri
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

A ) The spheres are non conducting , charge will not move on the surface so neutralization of charge by + ve and - ve charge is not possible. Charges will remain intact on them . The electric field inside them will be zero . Electric field outside shell  will not be spherically symmetrical . Lines of force will emanate from the surface of positively charged shell  outwardly oriented  and end at negatively charged shell .

B )

distance between the centres of spherical shell

= 2 a

potential energy of charges

= k q₁ x q₂ / R

= k x - Q x Q / ( 2a )

= - k Q²/ 2a

So work needed to separate them to infinity will be equal to

= k Q²/ 2a

Suppose you're performing experiments in science class in which you start with 70 bacteria and the amount of bacteria triples ev
barxatty [35]
1h----------------> 70x3=210 bacteria
2h-----------------> 210*3=630 bactaeria
let be y the number of bacteria at the t=0h
it is y=70 3^0
for t= 1h
y=70*3^1=210
for t=2h
y=70*3^2=630

so we can write y=70*3^x, where x is the number of hour
