Scientists are working on a new technique to kill cancer cells by zapping them with ultrahigh-energy (in the range of 1012 W) pu

lses of electromagnetic waves that last for an extremely short time (a few nanoseconds). These short pulses scramble the interior of a cell without causing it to explode, as long pulses would do. We can model a typical such cell as a disk 4.6 μm in diameter, with the pulse lasting for 3.4 ns with an average power of 2.46×1012 W . We shall assume that the energy is spread uniformly over the faces of 100 cells for each pulse.
Part A

How much energy is given to the cell during the pulse?

A research submarine has a 20-cm-diameter window that is 9.0 cm thick. The manufacturer says the window can withstand forces up

Ratling [72]

Answer:

The maximum safe depth in salt water is 3758.2 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 20 cm

Radius = 10 cm

Thickness = 9.0 cm

Force $F = 1.2\times10^{6}\ N$

Inside pressure = 1.0 atm

We need to calculate the area

Using formula of area

$A=\pi\times r^2$

Put the value into the formula

$A=\pi\times(10\times10^{-2})^2$

$A=0.0314\ m^2$

We need to calculate the pressure

Using formula of pressure

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}$

Put the value into the formula

$P=\dfrac{1.2\times10^{6}}{0.0314}$

$P=38216560.50\ Pa$

$P=3.8\times10^{7}\ Pa$

We need to calculate the maximum depth

Using equation of pressure

$P=P_{atm}+\rho gh$

$h=\dfrac{P-P_{atm}}{\rho g}$

Put the value into the formula

$h=\dfrac{3.8\times10^{7}-101325}{1029\times9.8}$

$h=3758.2\ m$

Hence, The maximum safe depth in salt water is 3758.2 m.

The angular momentum of an electron in each of its orbits must be some multiple of:

Nastasia [14]

The Bohr's proposal for the angular momentum of an electron in Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom is:

L=(n*h)/(2π), where n is the number of the energy level and h is the Planck's constant. This equation shows us the quantization of angular momentum of the electron. So the correct answer is the second one: Planck's constant.

A wheel starts from rest and rotates with constant angular acceleration to reach an angular speed of 11.1 rad/s in 2.99 s.(a) fi

elena55 [62]

The angular acceleration of a rotating object is given by
$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}$
where
$\omega_f$ is the final angular speed of the object
$\omega_i$ is its initial angular speed
$\Delta t$ is the time taken to accelerate

For the wheel in our problem, $\omega_f=11.1 rad/s$ , $\omega_i = 0$ and $\Delta t=2.99 s$ , so its angular acceleration is
$\alpha= \frac{11.1 rad/s-0}{2.99 s}=3.71 rad/s^2$
