A supply bag is dropped from a rescue plane. After the bag falls for 3.2 seconds , what is the velocity of the bag?

Answer: -31.36 m/s

Explanation:

This is a problem of motion in one direction (specifically vertical motion), and the equation that best fulfills this approach is:

V_{f}=V_{o}+a.t  (1)

Where:

V_{f} is the final velocity of the supply bag

V_{o}=0 is the initial velocity of the supply bag (we know it is zero because we are told it was "dropped", this means it goes to ground in free fall)

a=g=-9.8m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity (the negtive sign indicates the gravity is downwards, in the direction of the center of the Earth)

t=3.2s is the time

Knowing this, let's solve (1):

V_{f}=0+(-9.8m/s^{2})(3.2s)  (2)

Finally:

V_{f}=-31.36m/s  Note the negative sign is because the direction of the bag is downwards as well.

kobusy [5.1K]
1) we calculate the volume of the Earth expressed in ft.
Volume of a sphere=(4/3)πr³
3960 miles=3960 miles*(5280 ft/1 mile)=20908800 ft

Volume of the Earth=(4/3)π(20908800 ft)³=(4/3)9.1408*10²¹π ft³

2) we calculate the volume of a ping-pong ball at miles

V=(4/3)π(0.7441 in)³=(4/3)0.412π in³

3)we calculate how many times larger is the volume of the Earh tan the volume of a ping-pòng ball.

(4/3)0.412π in³------------------------ a ping-pong ball.
(4/3)9.1408*10²¹π ft³--------------         x

x=(4/3)9.1408*10²¹π ft³* volume of a ping-pong ball) /(4/3)0.412π in³)=
=2.21865*10²²  ping-pong balls.

Answer: The volume of the Earth is  2.21865*10²²  times larger than  the volume of a ping-pong ball.

A homodimeric protein was found to migrate through SDS polyacrilamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) with a mobility that matche
disa [49]

Answer:

Adding a reducing agent

Explanation:

Homodimeric proteins are formed by non-covalent interactions between two identical proteins (monomers).

Some of these intermolecular interactions are mediated by disulphide bonds which can be broken by a  reducing agent like beta-mercaptoethanol (2-ME).

By adding the reducing agent to the gel, it is probable that the dimer is broken and the band observed will correspond to the two identical 22.5-kDa monomers.
