Why do the pvc plastic wells used in this weeks elisa need to be sticky on the inner walls and how may your results change if a

different non-adherent plastic was used instead?
Physics

Semmy [17]3 years ago

Answer:

The stickiness in the inner walls allows them to be easily coated with the desired antigens, this translates in the use of a smaller amount of antigen. If the walls weren't sticky there's a possibility the antigen won't stick to them and therefore the result of the ELISA can be a false negative.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

A ball is launched with initial speed v from ground level up a frictionless slope (This means the ball slides up the slope witho
amid [387]

Answer:

hmax = 1/2 · v²/g

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to the conservation of energy and since there is no dissipative force (like friction) all the kinetic energy (KE) of the ball has to be converted into gravitational potential energy (PE) when the ball comes to stop.

KE = PE

Where KE is the initial kinetic energy and PE is the final potential energy.

The kinetic energy of the ball is calculated as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the ball

v = velocity.

The potential energy is calculated as follows:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of the ball.

g = acceleration due to gravity (known value: 9.81 m/s²).

h = height.

At  the maximum height, the potential energy is equal to the initial kinetic energy because the energy is conserved, i.e, all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy (there was no energy dissipation as heat because there was no friction). Then:

PE = KE

m · g · hmax = 1/2 · m · v²

Solving  for hmax:

hmax = 1/2 · v² / g

Your grandmother enjoys creating pottery as a hobby. She uses a potter's wheel, which is a stone disk of radius R-0.520 m and ma
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

0.54454

104.00902 N

Explanation:

m = Mass of wheel = 100 kg

r = Radius = 0.52 m

t = Time taken = 6 seconds

\omega_f = Final angular velocity

\omega_i = Initial angular velocity

\alpha = Angular acceleration

Mass of inertia is given by

I=\dfrac{mr^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{100\times 0.52^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow I=13.52\ kgm^2

Angular acceleration is given by

\alpha=\dfrac{\tau}{I}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\mu fr}{I}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\mu 50\times 0.52}{13.52}

Equation of rotational motion

\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\omega_i+\dfrac{\mu (-50)\times 0.52}{13.52}t\\\Rightarrow 0=60\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}+\dfrac{\mu (-50)\times 0.52}{13.52}\times 6\\\Rightarrow 0=6.28318-11.53846\mu\\\Rightarrow \mu=\dfrac{6.28318}{11.53846}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.54454

The coefficient of friction is 0.54454

At r = 0.25 m

\omega_f=\omega_i+\dfrac{0.54454 (-50)\times 0.52}{13.52}6\\\Rightarrow 0=60\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}+\dfrac{0.54454 f\times 0.25}{13.52}6\\\Rightarrow 2\pi=0.06041f\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{2\pi}{0.06041}\\\Rightarrow f=104.00902\ N

The force needed to stop the wheel is 104.00902 N

How does the electrostatic force compare with the strong nuclear force in the
diamong [38]

Answer:

Strong nuclear force is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force

Explanation:

There are mainly two forces acting between protons and neutrons in the nucleus:

- The electrostatic force, which is the force exerted between charged particles (therefore, it is exerted between protons only, since neutrons are not charged). The magnitude of the force is given by

F_E=\frac{kq_1 q_2}{r^2}

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the  charges of the two particles, r is the separation between the particles.

The force is attractive for two opposite charges and repulsive for two same charges: therefore, the electrostatic force between two protons is repulsive.

- The strong nuclear force, which is the force exerted between nucleons. At short distance (such as in the nucleus), it is attractive, therefore neutrons and protons attract each other and this contributes in keeping the whole nucleus together.

At the scale involved in the nucleus, the strong nuclear force (attractive) is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force (repulsive), therefore the nucleus stays together and does not break apart.

Two teams of nine members each engage in tug-of-war. Each of the first team's members has an average mass of 68 kg and exerts an
diamong [38]

Answer:

(a) Acceleration  = 0.1063 m/s^2      (Second team wins)

(b) Tension in rope = 65.106 N

Explanation:

Total mass of first team = 68 * 9 = 612 kg

Total force of first team = 1350 * 9 = 12150 N

Total mass of second team = 73 * 9 = 657 kg

Total force of seconds team = 1365 * 9 = 12285 N

Difference in force = 12285 - 12150 = 135 N   (towards the second team as it has more force)

(a) For acceleration we get:

F = m * a

135 = (mass of both teams) * a

a = 135 / (612 + 657)

acceleration  = 0.1063 m/s^2      (Second team wins)

(b) Since we know the acceleration of the first team (pulling being pulled towards the second team at an acceleration of 0.1063 m/s^2) , we can find out the force required to move them:

Force required for first team = mass of first team * acceleration

Force required = 612 * 0.1063

Force required = 65.106 N

This is the force exerted on the first team through the rope, so the tension in the rope will also be 65.106 N.
