<h2>Answer: size</h2>

Gel electrophoresis is called to the technique used by scientists for analytical purposes, in life sciences laboratories to separate macromolecules (DNA, RNA, and proteins from various sources).

The process consists of separating the molecules according to their <u>size</u> and <u>electric charge</u>. This is done with a gel (a gelatinous substance extracted from seaweed, called <em>agarose</em>) of controllable porosity placed in an ionic buffer environment. This is how the gel acts as a molecular sieve that separates larger molecules from the smaller ones, because each molecule has different size and charge and will move through the gel at different speeds.

That is, the smaller molecules move more quickly through the gel while the larger ones are left behind.

g determine what frequency is required of a source powering a 100 uf capacitor a 500 ohm resistor and a s50 mH inductor in serie

polet [3.4K]

Answer: $71.16\ Hz$

Explanation:

Given

Capacitance $C=100\ \mu F$

Resistance $R=500\ \Omega$

Inductance $L=50\ mH$

In LCR circuit, current is maximum at resonance frequency i.e.

$X_L=X_C\ \text{and}\ \omega_o=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}$

Insert the values

$\Rightarrow \omega_o=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{50\times 10^{-3}\times 100\times 10^{-6}}}\\\\\Rightarrow \omega_o=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}\times 10^{-3}}\\\\\Rightarrow \omega_o=0.447\times 10^{3}$

Also, frequency is given by

$\Rightarrow 2\pi f=\omega_o\\\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{\omega_o}{2\pi}$

$\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\times 0.447\times 10^3\\\\\Rightarrow f=71.16\ Hz$

A 1.25 x 10-4 C charge is moving5200 m/s at 37.0° to a magnetic fieldof 8.49 x 10-4 T. What is the magneticforce on the charge?

juin [17]

0.0003321 Newtons

Explanation

We are given the charge, its velocity, and the magnetic field strength and direction. We can thus use the equation to find the force

$\begin{gathered} F=qvBsinθ \\ where\text{ F is the magnetic force} \\ q\text{ is the charge} \\ v\text{ is the velocity of the charge} \\ Bis\text{ the magnetic field} \\ \theta\text{ is the angle} \end{gathered}$

Step 1

Let

$\begin{gathered} q=1.25*10^{-4\text{ }}C \\ v=5200\frac{m}{s} \\ \theta=37\text{ \degree} \\ B=8.49*10^{-4}T \end{gathered}$

now, replace

$\begin{gathered} F=qvBs\imaginaryI n\theta \\ F=1.25*10^{-4}\text{ C*5200 }\frac{m}{s}*8.49*10^{-4}Tsin(37) \\ F=0.0003321\text{ Newtons} \\ \end{gathered}$

so, the answer is

0.0003321 Newtons

A 52-kg snow skier is at the top of a 245-m-high hill. After she has gone down a vertical distance of 112 m, what is her total e

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

a. 125 kJ

Explanation:

Her total energy is the same as the potential energy she had at the top of the hill:

PE = mgh

= (52 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(245 m) = 124,852 J

≈ 125 kJ . . . . matches choice A

_____

After skiing down 112 m, some of her initial energy is converted to kinetic energy, and some remains as potential energy. We assume the ski slope is essentially frictionless, and air resistance is negligible.
