The number of bacteria in a certain population increases according to a continuous exponential growth model, with a growth rate
1 answer:
Answer:
It would take approximately 289 hours for the population to double
Explanation:
Recall the expression for the continuous exponential growth of a population:
where N(t) measures the number of individuals, No is the original population, "k" is the percent rate of growth, and "t" is the time elapsed.
In our case, we don't know No (original population, but know that we want it to double in a certain elapsed "t". We also have in mind that the percent rate "k" would be expressed in mathematical form as: 0.0024 (mathematical form of the given percent growth rate).
So we need to solve for "t" in the following equation:
Which can be rounded to about 289 hours

Answer:
The energy absorbed by a hydrogen atom is 1.549 X10⁻¹⁹ J
Explanation:
Using Bohr's equation; the energy absorbed by the hydrogen atom can be calculated as follows:
When an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, energy is absorbed by the atom.
Lower energy level (n₂) = 3
Higher energy level (n₁) = 5
1 eV = 1.602X10⁻¹⁹ C
ΔE = 1.549 X10⁻¹⁹J
The energy absorbed by a hydrogen atom to transition an electron from n = 3 to n = 5 is 1.549 X10⁻¹⁹ J
AS
work done =W = F.d = F d cosФ (Ф is angle between force F and displacement d) If a body/object is moving on a smooth surface (friction-less surface ) .There is no force acting on that body. F=0 so W=FdcosФ= (0)dcosФ ⇒ W=0
Now if a body is facing some amount of force but under the action of force there is no displacement covered. d=0 so W =FdcosФ= F(0)cosФ ⇒W=0
example: A person is applying a force on rigid wall but wall remains at rest there is no displacement occurs in wall.
The third term upon which work done dependent is angle between force and displacement i.e Ф. If Ф=90° then W= FdcosФ= Fdcos90⇒ W=0 ( as cos 90°=0)
