Electric fish generate current with biological cells called electroplaques, which are physiological emf devices. The electroplaq

ues in the South American eel are arranged in 140 rows, each row stretching horizontally along the body and each containing 5000 electroplaques. Each electroplaque has an emf of 0.15 V and an internal resistance of 0.25 Ω .If the water surrounding the fish has a resistance of 800Ω .How much current can the eel produce in water from near its head to near its tail?

Answer:

current in water = 0.924 A

Explanation:

Let the current in each row be i.

Thus, current in water is contributed by each row and total current in water becomes 140i.

We are given;

emf of each electroplaque = 0.15 V

Number of electroplaques = 5000

internal resistance = 0.25 Ω

resistance = 800Ω

Applying Kirchoff's Voltage Law to row and water, we have;

5000E − (5000r)i − 800(140i) = 0

Rearranging;

5000E = (5000r)i + 800(140i)

Plugging in the relevant values;

5000 x 0.15 = i((5000 x 0.25) + 112,000)

750 = 113,250i

i = 750/113,250

i = 0.0066 A

Recall earlier, the current in water is 140i.

Thus, current in water = 140 x 0.0066

= 0.924

Define A Gamma Ray .....---_---__☘️​
MrRa [10]

Answer:

gamma ray, or gamma radiation (symbol γ or {\displaystyle \gamma } \gamma ), is a penetrating form of electromagnetic radiation arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei. It consists of the shortest wavelength electromagnetic waves and so imparts the highest photon energy. Paul Villard, a French chemist and physicist, discovered gamma radiation in 1900 while studying radiation emitted by radium. In 1903, Ernest Rutherford named this radiation gamma rays based on their relatively strong penetration of matter; in 1900 he had already named two less penetrating types of decay radiation (discovered by Henri Becquerel) alpha rays and beta rays in ascending order of penetrating power.

11. A cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 10 m/s in 3 seconds. What is his acceleration ? Is this acceleration higher than that of
Marat540 [252]

a =  \frac{v - u}{t}

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time taken

the acceleration of the cyclist is

\frac{10 - 0}{3}  = 3.333333....

approximately 3.33 m/s^2

the acceleration of the car is

\frac{40 - 0 }{8}  = 5.0

5.0 m/s^2

5.0 > 3.33 \\ so \:  the \: answer  \: is \: no

Answer:

You could move something across the Earth with a little push. It would make fuel really efficient on those pathways. You could make a floor that is impossible to walk on. Everybody would just fall without traction.

what was the temperature change in Celsius degree if it is changed from 44 degree fahrenheit to -56 degree fahrenheit​
wel

Answer:

-11.11 degree Celsius

Explanation:

The change was 44 degree fanhereit

To 56 degree fanhereit

Therefore the temperature range can be calculated as follows

56-44

= 12 degree fanhereit to Celsius

= 12-32×5/9

= -20×5/9

= 100/9

= -11.11 degree Celsius
