Answer:

a. Approximate umber of atoms = 10¹¹

b. number of atoms = 50 atoms thick

Note: The question is missing some parts. The complete question is as follows; Calculate the approximate number of atoms in a bacterium. Assume that the average mass of an atom in the bacterium is ten times the mass of a hydrogen atom. (Hint: The mass of a hydrogen atom is on the order of 1×10⁻²⁷ kg and the mass of a bacterium is on the order of 1×10⁻¹⁵ kg)

Explanation:

a. Approximate umber of atoms = mass of bacterium / 10 * mass of hydrogen

number of atoms = 10⁻⁵/ 10 × 10⁻²⁷

number of atoms = 10¹¹ atoms

b. The cell membrane is 10-8 m thick while the hydrogen atom has a diameter of 10-10  m.

The number of atoms in the cell membrane = d1 / 2 × d2

where d1 = diameter of cell membrane; d2 = diameter of hydrogen atom

The number of atoms in the cell membrane = 10⁻ / 2 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 50 atoms

A car on the roller coaster begins with 0j of kinetic energy and 12,928j of potential energy and finishes the track with 3,715j
andre [41]

Answer:

9213 J

Explanation:

Change in Kinetic energy = Change in Potential energy

= 12,928J - 3715J

=9213 J

A boy exerts a 36-N horizontal force as he pulls a 52-N sled across a cement sidewalk at a constant speed. What is the coefficie
Vesna [10]

Answer:

0.69

Explanation:

Sum of the forces on the sled in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Fn - 52 N = 0

Fn = 52 N

Sum of the forces on the sled in the x direction:

∑F = ma

36 N - Fn μ = 0

Fn μ = 36 N

μ = 36 N / Fn

Substitute:

μ = 36 N / 52 N

μ = 0.69
