Answer:

C. <u>Trans-membrane protein channels that are always open to allow K+ to cross the membrane without the additional input of energy</u>

Explanation:

As we know that K+ leakage channels indicate the Potassium leakage channel. The best characterizes about K+ leakage channels is that there is a Trans-membrane protein channel which is always open to allow K+ to cross the membrane without the additional input of energy.

Actually when a cell dies its membrane potential gets more positive and finally reaches zero .

The key point is that the cells spend energy to maintain the intra-cellular ionic concentrations constant.

The membrane permeability of K+ is much higher than the membrane permeability of Na+.

Therefore, the correct choice is option (C).

A car moving with an initial speed of 25 m/s slows down to a speed of 5 m/s in 10 seconds Calculate a) the acceleration of the c

stealth61 [152]

Answer :

(a) The acceleration of the car is, $-2m/s^2$

(b) The distance covered by the car is, 150 m

Explanation :

By the 1st equation of motion,

$v=u+at$ ...........(1)

where,

v = final velocity = 5 m/s

u = initial velocity = 25 m/s

t = time = 10 s

a = acceleration of the car = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation 1, we get:

$5m/s=25m/s+a\times (10s)$

$a=-2m/s^2$

The acceleration of the car is, $-2m/s^2$

By the 2nd equation of motion,

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ ...........(2)

where,

s = distance covered by the car = ?

u = initial velocity = 25 m/s

t = time = 10 s

a = acceleration of the car = $-2m/s^2$

Now put all the given values in the above equation 2, we get:

$s=(25m/s)\times (10s)+\frac{1}{2}\times (-2m/s^2)\times (10s)^2$

By solving the term, we get:

$s=150m$

The distance covered by the car is, 150 m

Two uniform solid cylinders, each rotating about its central (longitudinal) axis, have the same mass of 3.56 kg and rotate with

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

(a) 3107.98 J

(b) 14530.6 J

Explanation:

mass, m = 3.56 kg

angular speed, ω = 179 rad/s

Moment of inertia of solid cylinder, I = 1/2 mr^2

where, m is the mass and r be the radius of the cylinder.

(a) radius, r = 0.330 m

I = 0.5 x 3.56 x 0.330 x 0.330 = 0.194 kgm^2

The formula for the rotational kinetic energy is given by

$K = \frac{1}{2}I\omega ^{2}$

K = 0.5 x 0.194 x 179 x 179 = 3107.98 J

(b) radius, r = 0.714 m

I = 0.5 x 3.56 x 0.714 x 0.714 = 0.907 kgm^2

The formula for the rotational kinetic energy is given by

$K = \frac{1}{2}I\omega ^{2}$

K = 0.5 x 0.907 x 179 x 179 = 14530.6 J
