Answer:

0.044 V

Explanation:

E = Electric field = $5.5\times 10^6\ V/m$

d = Thickness of membrane = 8 nm

When the electric field strength is multiplied by the membrane thickness we get the voltage

Voltage across a gap is given by

$V=Ed\\\Rightarrow V=5.5\times 10^6\times 8\times 10^{-9}\\\Rightarrow V=0.044\ V$

The voltage across the membrane is 0.044 V

Which element does not have the same number of electrons in its outermost shell as the other elements in its group?(1 point)

Setler79 [48]

Helium (He) does not have the same number of valence electrons as other elements in its group.

The periodic table is divided into groups with the last number of the group coinciding with the number of electrons that an element in the group has in its outermost or valence shell.

Helium is in group 18 which means that it should have the same number of valence electrons as :

Neon
Argon
Krypton
Xenon and,
Radon

Yet Helium only has 2 valence electrons. We can therefore conclusively say that Helium does not have the same number of valence electrons as other elements in its group.

A 2kg object is tied to the end of a cord and whirled in a horizontal circle of radius 2 m. If the body makes three complete rev

Travka [436]

Answer:

a) 37.70 m/s

b)710.6 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that ;

Mass of object = 2 kg

Radius of the motion = 2m

Frequency of motion = 3 rev/s

The formula to apply is;

v= 2πrf where v is linear speed

v = 2×π×2×3 =12π = 37.70 m/s

Centripetal acceleration is given as;

a= 4×π²×r×f²

a= 4×π²×2×3²

a=710.6 m/s²

1. A DC-10 jumbo jet maintains an airspeed of 550 mph in a southwesterly direction. The velocity of the jet stream is a constant

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The magnitude of actual velocity is 496.67 mph and its direction is 51.54° with the x axis in the third quadrant.

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of jumbo jet in southwesterly direction $(v_j)$ = 550 mph

Velocity of jet stream from west to east direction $(v_s)=80\ mph$

First let us draw a vectorial representation of the above velocity vectors.

Consider the south direction as negative y axis and west direction as negative x axis.

From the diagram,

The velocity of the jet can be represented as:

$\vec{v_j}=-550\cos(45)\vec{i}+(-550\sin(45)\vec{j} )\\\\\vec{v_j}=-388.91\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}\ mph$

Similarly, the velocity of the stream is, $\vec{v_s}=80\vec{i}$

Now, the vector sum of the above two vectors gives the actual velocity of the aircraft. So, the resultant velocity is given as:

$\vec{v}=\vec{v_j}+\vec{v_s}\\\\\vec{v}=-388.91\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}+80\vec{i}\\\\\vec{v}=(-388.91+80)\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}\\\\\vec{v}=(-308.91)\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}$

Now, magnitude is given as the square root of sum of the squares of the 'i' and 'j' components. So,

$|\vec{v}|=\sqrt{(-308.91)^2+(-388.91)^2}\\\\|\vec{v}|=496.67\ mph$

As the horizontal and vertical components of actual velocity negative, the resultant vector makes an angle $\theta$ with the x axis in the third quadrant.

The direction is given as:

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{-388.91}{-308.91})\\\\\theta=51.54\°(Third\ quadrant)$

Therefore, the magnitude of actual velocity is 496.67 mph and its direction is 51.54° with the x axis in the third quadrant.

If 2.0 x 10^-4 C charge passes a point in 5.0 x 10^-5 s, what is the rate of current flow?

insens350 [35]

Current is defined as the rate of charge flowing a point every second. Having a current of 1 Ampere signifies 1 Coulomb is flowing in a circuit every second. It is measured by the use of an ammeter which is positioned in series to the component to be measured. The current in the problem is calculated as follows:

I = 2.0 x 10^-4 C / 5.0 x 10^-5 s
I = 4 A or 4.0 x 10^0 A

If Johnny won a 300 meter race in 40 seconds, his speed would be ?

irina1246 [14]

Formula: s = d/t

s = speed

d = distance

t = time

Solve using the values we are given.

s = 300/40

s = 7.5m/s

Best of Luck!
