On a part-time job, you are asked to bring a cylindrical iron rod of density 7800 kg/m 3 kg/m3 , length 81.2 cmcm and diameter 2

.60 cmcm from a storage room to a machinist. Calculate the weight of the rod, www. Assume the free-fall acceleration is ggg = 9.80 m/s2m/s2 .

Answer:

<em>The weight of the rod is 32.87 N</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Density of the rod = 7800 kg/m

length of the rod = 81.2 cm = 0.812 m

diameter of rod = 2.60 cm = 0.026 m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.80 m/s^2

The rod can be assumed to be a cylinder.

The volume of the rod can be calculated as that of a cylinder, and can be gotten as

V = $\frac{\pi d^{2} l}{4}$

where d is the diameter of the rod

l is the length of the rod

V = $\frac{3.142* 0.026^{2}* 0.812}{4}$ = 4.3 x 10^-4 m^3

We know that the mass of a substance is the density times the volume i.e

mass m = ρV

where ρ is the density of the rod

V is the volume of the rod

m = 4.3 x 10^-4 x 7800 = 3.354 kg

The weight of a substance is the mass times the acceleration due to gravity

W = mg

where g is the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.80 m/s^2

The weight of the rod W = 3.354 x 9.80 = <em>32.87 N</em>

A cosmic ray (an electron or nucleus moving ar speeds close to the speed of light) travels across the Milky Way at a speed of 0.

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Cosmic ray's frame of reference: 99,875 years

Stationary frame of reference: 501,891 years

Explanation:

First of all, we convert the distance from parsec into metres:

$d=30,000 pc =9.26\cdot 10^{20} m$

The speed of the cosmic ray is

$v=0.98 c$

where

$c=3.0 \cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light. Substituting,

$v=(0.98)(3.0\cdot 10^8)=2.94\cdot 10^8 m/s$

And so, the time taken to complete the journey in the cosmic's ray frame of reference (called proper time) is:

$T_0 = \frac{d}{v}=\frac{9.26\cdot 10^{20}}{2.94\cdot 10^8}=3.15\cdot 10^{12} s$

Converting into years,

$T_0 = \frac{3.15\cdot 10^{12}}{(365\cdot 24\cdot 60 \cdot 60}=99,875 years$

Instead, the time elapsed in the stationary frame of reference is given by Lorentz transformation:

$T=\frac{T_0}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{v}{c^2})^2}}$

And substituting v = 0.98c, we find:

$T=\frac{99,875}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{0.98c}{c})^2}}=501,891 years$

Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are related in that both

kaheart [24]

Answer:

allow the downward movement of the concentration gradient by passive transport

Explanation:

Passive transport is a process of substance transport, which is carried out spontaneously, without energy expenditure and in favor of the concentration gradient, that is, from a medium where the molecules are more concentrated towards a medium where their concentration is lower.

Three types of passive transport are distinguished: osmosis, simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion

<u>Simple diffusion</u>

It is the passage, through the plasma membrane, of small molecules without charge soluble in the lipid bilayer, such as some gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide). For a molecule to diffuse through the membrane it is necessary that there is a difference in concentration between the external and the internal environment.

<u>Diffusion facilitated </u>

There are molecules such as amino acids, glucose and small ions that, due to their chemical and size characteristics, cannot diffuse through the lipid bilayer and require transport proteins for diffusion.

The transport proteins are immersed in the plasma membrane and can be of two types: protein channels, formed by proteins that generate a channel in the membrane, and permeases, which are proteins that, when joined to the molecule to be transported, change their shape by carrying them into the cell.

A certain copper wire has a resistance of 13.0 Ω . At some point along its length the wire was cut so that the resistance of one

alekssr [168]

Answer with Explanation:

Let r be the resistance of short piece of copper wire.

Resistance of copper wire=R= $13\Omega$

Resistance is directly proportional to length.

If a wire has greater resistance then,the wire will be greater in length.

Therefore,resistance of long piece of wire=7r

Total resistance of copper wire=Sum of resistance of two piece of wires

$r+7r=13$

$8r=13$

$r=\frac{13}{8}$ ohm

Resistance of long piece of wire= $7\times\frac{13}{8}=\frac{91}{8}\Omega$

Resistance of short piece of wire = $\frac{13}{8}\Omega$

Resistivity of wire and cross section area of wire remains same .

Let L be the total length of wire and L' be the length of short piece of wire.

We know that

$R=\frac{\rho L}{A}$ = $\frac{\rho}{A}L=KL$

$\frac{R}{L}=K$

Where K= $\frac{\rho}{A}$ =Constant

Using the formula

$\frac{13}{L}=\frac{\frac{13}{8}}{L'}$

$\frac{L'}{L}=\frac{13}{8}\times \frac{1}{13}=\frac{1}{8}$

$L'=\frac{L}{8}$

Length of short piece of wire=L'= $\frac{L}{8}$

Length of long piece of wire= $L-L'=L-\frac{L}{8}=\frac{8L-L}{8}=\frac{7}{8}L$

% of length of short piece of wire= $\frac{\frac{L}{8}}{L}\times 100=12.5%$ %

The resistance of the short piece= $\frac{13}{8}\Omega$

The resistance of the long piece= $\frac{91}{8}\Omega$
