Suppose that an object is moving with constant nonzero acceleration. Which of the following is an accurate statement concerning

Wittaler [7]

Answer: The right answer is b)

Explanation:

By definition, acceleration is the change in velocity (in module or direction) over a given time interval, as follows:

a = (v-v₀) / (t-t₀)

If we take t₀ = 0 (this is completely arbitrary), we can rewrite the equation above, as follows:

v = v₀ + at

We can recognize this function as a linear one, where a represents the slope of the line.

If a is constant, this means that the relationship between the change in velocity and the change in time remains constant, in other words, in equal times, its velocity changes in an equal amount.

Let's suppose that a = 10 m/s/s. (Usually written as 10 m/s²).

This is telling us that each second, the velocity increases 10 m/s.

In a perfectly elastic collision between two perfectly rigid objects

ipn [44]

Both the total momentum and the total kinetic energy are conserved

Explanation:

- In a collision between two or more objects, if there are no external forces acting on the system (isolated system), the total momentum of the objects is always conserved. This is called principle of conservation of momentum, and can be written as follows:

$mu+MU = mv+MV$

where

m, M are the masses of the two objects

u, U are the initial velocities of the two objects

v, V are the final velocities of the two objects

- The total kinetic energy, however, is not always conserved. In fact, we have two types of collision:

1) In a perfectly elastic collision, the total kinetic energy of the objects is conserved. This means that we can write the following equation:

$\frac{1}{2}mu^2 + \frac{1}{2}MU^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}MV^2$

2) In an inelastic collision, the total kinetic energy of the object is NOT conserved. This means that part of the total kinetic energy is "lost", converted into other forms of energy (mainly thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces within the system). The most extreme case is called perfectly inelastic collision, in which the two objects stick together after the collision, and there is the maximum loss of kinetic energy.

The voltage across a membrane forming a cell wall is 74.0 mV and the membrane is 9.20 nm thick. What is the electric field stren

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

7.60× 10^6 V/m

Explanation:

electric field strength can be determined as ratio of potential drop and distance, I.e

E=V/d

Where E= electric field

V= potential drop= 74.0 mV= 0.07 V

d= distance= 9.20 nm = 9.2×10^-9 m

Substitute the values

E= 0.07/ 9.2×10^-9

= 7.60× 10^6 V/m
