3 0

Answer:

486 of cell membranes

Explanation:

one cell membrane has 7*10^-9m as the height

So, by dividing 3.4 with 7*10^-9 you will get the number of cell require to form the height.

3.4/(7*10^-9)=485.71

because we can't have decimal number of cell we would round it into three significant figures, 486.

A 10.0g piece of copper wire, sitting in the sun reaches a temperature of 80.0 C. how many Joules are released when the copper c

Zolol [24]

Answer:

150.8 J

Explanation:

The heat released by the copper wire is given by:

$Q=mC_s \Delta T$

where:

m = 10.0 g is the mass of the wire

Cs = 0.377 j/(g.C) is the specific heat capacity of copper

$\Delta T=40.0 C - 80.0 C=-40.0 C$ is the change in temperature of the wire

Substituting into the equation, we find

$Q=(10.0 g)(0.377 J/gC)(-40.0^{\circ})=-150.8 J$

And the sign is negative because the heat is released by the wire.

1. What is the potential energy of a 5.0-kg

babymother [125]

Answer:

C. 98 J

Explanation:

The appropriate formula is ...

PE = mgh . . . . . m is mass; below, m is meters

PE = (5 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(2 m) = 98 kg·m^2/s^2

PE = 98 J
