A biologist used a microscope to measure two different kinds of cells. Cell A was 12 micrometers in diameter, and cell B was 20

micrometers in diameter. She then took a photograph of the two cells. In the photograph, cell A measured 15 cm in diameter. What was the diameter of cell B in the photograph?

The concept to be used in order to determine the diameter of the second cell in the photograph is that of the ratio and proportion. The ratio of the first set of measurements should be proportional (equal) to the ratio of the second set. 

Ratio of first set of diameters,
   r = diameter of Cell A / diameter of Cell B
   r = 12 micrometers/20 micrometers
   r = 3/5

If we let D be the diameter of the cell B in photographs,
  r = 3/5 = 15 cm/x cm
The value of x from the equation is 25. Hence, the diameter of cell B is 25 cm.

2 ways friction is helpful and 2 ways it does not
iris [78.8K]

Benefits of friction.

1. Walking. Friction between the soles of our  shoes and the ground enables us to walk. The sole of the shoe is held to the ground through friction. This is what is termed as "grip" of the shoe. The more grip a shoes offers, the better and faster we can walk.

2. Writing. Writing using a pen requires friction. It is impossible to hold a pen in the hand without friction because it would slip out. Also the graphite point of the pencil would not make a mark on the paper without friction.

Drawbacks of friction

1. Drag. An aircraft taking off experiences significant friction between it and the air resulting in drag, so much fuel has to be used to  create energy to overcome the wind resistance.

2. Surface hindrance. Friction makes moving something heavy from  one part of a room to another very difficult. Sliding a large box across the flour takes a lot of energy due to friction between the box and the floor.
