300 meters per second. That's equal to about 670 miles per hour.
Explanation:
Not only are air particles incredibly small, they are always moving. And they move fast. At room temperature, they are going about 300 meters per second. That's equal to about 670 miles per hour.
Given there are three blocks of masses , and (ref image in attachment)
When all three masses move together at an acceleration a, the force F is given by
F = ( + + ) *a ................(equation 1)
Also it is given that does not move with respect to , which gives tension T is exerted on pulley by only, Hence tension T is
T = *a ..........(equation 2)
There is also also tension exerted by . There are two components here: horizontal due to acceleration a and vertical component due to gravity g. Thus tension is given by
T = ................(equation 3)
From equation 2 and 3, we get
*a =
Squaring both sides we get
* = * (+)
* = ( * )+ ( *)
( - ) * = *
= */( - )
Taking square root on both sides, we get acceleration a
a = *g/()
Hence substituting the value of a in equation 1, we get
Answer:Compared to other pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses are minuscule. And because they have none of the hallmarks of living things — a metabolism or the ability to reproduce on their own, for example — they are harder to target with drugs.
