Your roommate drops your wallet down to you from the third-floor window of your apartment, which is 11.5 m from the ground. What

is the velocity of the wallet when you catch it? (assume you catch the wallet right before it hits the ground)

Answer:

15 m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of energy, potential energy equals kinetic energy hence

mgh=0.5mv^{2}

Therefore

v=\sqrt{2gh}

where g is the acceleration due to gravity, m is the mass of the object, h is the height and v is the speed of the wallet

Taking g as 9.81 then

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 11.5}=15.02098532  m/s\approx 15 m/s

The membrane that surrounds a certain type of living cell has a surface area of 5.1 x 10-9 m2 and a thickness of 1.4 x 10-8 m.
ziro4ka [17]

a) The charge on the outer surface is 1.2\cdot 10^{-12} C

b) The number of ions is 7.5\cdot 10^6

Explanation:

a)

The membrane behaves as a parallel plate capacitor, whose capacity is given by the equation

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

where

k = 4.3 is the dielectric constant

\epsilon_0 =8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m is the vacuum permittivity

A=5.1\cdot 10^{-9} m^2 is the surface area

d=1.4\cdot 10^{-8} m is the distance between the two plates

Substituting,

C=\frac{(4.3)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(5.1\cdot 10^{-9})}{1.4\cdot 10^{-8}}=1.4\cdot 10^{-11} F

The capacity of the membrane is related to the potential difference between the two surfaces by

C=\frac{Q}{\Delta V}

where here we have

Q = excess charge on one surface

\Delta V = 85.5 mV = 0.0855 V is the potential difference between the two surfaces

Solving for Q, we find

Q=C\Delta V=(1.4\cdot 10^{-11})(0.0855)=1.2\cdot 10^{-12} C

b)

We said that the net charge on the outer surface is

Q=1.2\cdot 10^{-12} C

The charge of one K+ ions is equal to the electron charge

+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C

Therefore, the number of ions on the outer surface can be found by dividing the total charge by the charge of a single ion:

N=\frac{Q}{e}=\frac{1.2\cdot 10^{-12}}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19}}=7.5\cdot 10^6

The distance traveled, in feet, of a ball dropped from a tall building is modeled by the equation d(t) = 16t2 where d equals the
Ainat [17]
When  t=2, the ball has fallen     d(2) = 16 (2²) = 64 feet .

When  t=5, the ball has fallen     d(5) = 16 (5²) = 400 feet .

Distance fallen from  t=2  until  t=5  is  (400 - 64) = 336 feet.

Time period between  t=2  until  t=5  is  (5 - 2) = 3 seconds.

Average speed of the ball from  t=2  until  t=5  is

                 (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

             =            336 feet        /        3 seconds       =  112 feet per second.

That's what choice-C says.
