What is my displacement if i walked 200 meters west then turned around and walked 150 meters east

You're walking in one direction, and then the exact opposite of that direction, so you simply have to subtract the two distances.
200-150=50
You're 50 meters west of where you originally started.
You're west because 200 meters west is greater than 150 meters east. If the distance walked east was greater than the distance walked west, you would've been east of your starting position.

The membrane that surrounds a certain type of living cell has a surface area of 5.1 x 10-9 m2 and a thickness of 1.4 x 10-8 m.

a) The charge on the outer surface is $1.2\cdot 10^{-12} C$

b) The number of ions is $7.5\cdot 10^6$

Explanation:

The membrane behaves as a parallel plate capacitor, whose capacity is given by the equation

$C=\frac{k\epsilon_0 A}{d}$

where

k = 4.3 is the dielectric constant

$\epsilon_0 =8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m$ is the vacuum permittivity

$A=5.1\cdot 10^{-9} m^2$ is the surface area

$d=1.4\cdot 10^{-8} m$ is the distance between the two plates

Substituting,

$C=\frac{(4.3)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(5.1\cdot 10^{-9})}{1.4\cdot 10^{-8}}=1.4\cdot 10^{-11} F$

The capacity of the membrane is related to the potential difference between the two surfaces by

$C=\frac{Q}{\Delta V}$

where here we have

Q = excess charge on one surface

$\Delta V = 85.5 mV = 0.0855 V$ is the potential difference between the two surfaces

Solving for Q, we find

$Q=C\Delta V=(1.4\cdot 10^{-11})(0.0855)=1.2\cdot 10^{-12} C$

We said that the net charge on the outer surface is

$Q=1.2\cdot 10^{-12} C$

The charge of one K+ ions is equal to the electron charge

$+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C$

Therefore, the number of ions on the outer surface can be found by dividing the total charge by the charge of a single ion:

$N=\frac{Q}{e}=\frac{1.2\cdot 10^{-12}}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19}}=7.5\cdot 10^6$

what is your weight in newtons if your potential energy is equal to 1000 joules and your mass is 60 kg

Darina [25.2K]

Your potential energy and mass don't tell what your weight is.

If I walk up from the first floor to the second floor, my weight hasn't
changed even though my potential energy has increased.
