The acceleration of gravity is

9.8 m/s^2 down.

When an object falls out of a hand, its speed after 1.8s is

(9.8)x(1.8) = 17.6 m/s down.

It doesn't matter what it is, how much it weighs, or how high it was dropped from.

If it's more than 17.6 m/s, then this happened on a different, bigger planet.

If it's less than 17.6 m/s, then it must have hit something on the way down, like some air or something.

Consider one such cell where the magnitude of the potential difference is 65 mV, and the inner surface of the membrane is at a h
Gelneren [198K]

Answer: W = 1.04.10^{-20} J

Explanation: Since the potassium ion is at the outside membrane of a cell and the potential here is lower than the potential inside the cell, the transport will need work to happen.

The work to transport an ion from a lower potential side to a higher potential side is calculated by

W=q.\Delta V

q is charge;

ΔV is the potential difference;

Potassium ion has +1 charge, which means:

p = 1.6.10^{-19} C

To determine work in joules, potential has to be in Volts, so:

\Delta V=65.10^{-3}V

Then, work is

W=1.6.10^{-19}.65.10^{-3}

W=1.04.10^{-20}

To move a potassium ion from the exterior to the interior of the cell, it is required W=1.04.10^{-20}J of energy.

A steel bar of rectangular cross section (1.5 in. 2 3 .0 in.) carries a tensile load P (see fig- ure). The allowable stresses in
lukranit [14]

Explanation:

Value of the cross-sectional area is as follows.

        A = 1.5 \times 2.30

           = 3.45 in^{2}

The given data is as follows.

          Allowable stress = 14,500 psi

          Shear stress = 7100 psi

Now, we will calculate maximum load from allowable stress as follows.

           P_{max} = \sigma_{a}A

                       = 14500 \times 3.45

                       = 50025 lb

Now, maximum load from shear stress is as follows.

           P_{max} = 2 \times \tau_{a} \times A

                      = 2 \times 7100 \times 3.45

                      = 48990 lb

Hence, P_{max} will be calculated as follows.

       P_{max} = min((P_{max})_{\sigma}, (P_{max})_{\tau})

                  = 48990 lb

Thus, we can conclude that the maximum permissible load P_{max} is 48990 lb.

When numbers are very small or very large, it is convenient to either express the value in scientific notation and/or by using a
Oxana [17]

Answer:

5 mg, 5\cdot 10^{-3}g

Explanation:

First of all, let's rewrite the mass in grams using scientific notation.

we have:

m = 0.005 g

To rewrite it in scientific notation, we must count by how many digits we have to move the dot on the right - in this case three. So in scientific notation is

m=5\cdot 10^{-3}g

If  we want to convert into milligrams, we must remind that

1 g = 1000 mg

So we can use the proportion

1 g : 1000 mg = 0.005 g : x

and we find

x=\frac{(1000 mg)(0.005 g)}{1 g}=5 mg
