The time taken by the swimmer was 1 hour.

Why?

Since the swimmer is maintaining an angle of 150° while he was swimming, there were two components of the speed (horizontal and vertical). If we want to calculate the time taken by him to cross the river, we need to calculate the vertical speed and consider that the flow's speed is compensated by his horizontal speed.

We can calculate both components of the speed using the following formula:

$HorizontalSpeed=Speed*Cos(150\°)\\\\VerticalSpeed=Speed*Sin(150\°)$

Now, calculating we have:

$HorizontalSpeed=2\frac{Km}{h} *Cos(150\°)=-\sqrt{3} \frac{Km}{h} \\\\VerticalSpeed=2\frac{Km}{h} *Sin(150\°)=1\frac{Km}{h}$

Therefore, we have that the horizontal speed is compesating the flow's speed while his vertical speed is used to cross the river which is 1 Km wide.

Hence, we have that the tame taken is:

$Time=\frac{RiverWidth}{VerticalSpeed}=\frac{1Km}{1\frac{Km}{h} } =1h$

Have a nice day!

What is a key difference between cell signaling by a cell-surface receptor and cell signaling by an intracellular receptor?

Art [367]

CORRECT ANSWER:

a- Cell-surface receptors bind polar signaling molecules; intracellular receptors bind nonpolar signaling molecules.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

The complete question from book is

According to Figure 9.6, what is a key difference between cell signaling by a cell-surface receptor and cell signaling by an intracellular receptor?

a- Cell-surface receptors bind polar signaling molecules; intracellular receptors bind nonpolar signaling molecules.

b- Signaling molecules that bind to cell-surface receptors lead to cellular responses restricted to the cytoplasm; signaling molecules that bind to intracellular receptors lead to cellular responses restricted to the nucleus.

c- Cell-surface receptors bind to specific signaling molecules; intracellular receptors bind any signaling molecule.

d- Cell-surface receptors typically bind to signaling molecules that are smaller than those bound by intracellular receptors.

e- None of the other answer options is correct.

Using that transfers and third laws explain what happened when you dribble a basketball

Leno4ka [110]

The ball is using an reaction and opposite reaction, so when you dribble a basketball you push the ball with downward force and the ground pushes the ball back up thus making the opposite reaction.

A 50.0-kg box is being pulled along a horizontal surface by means of a rope that exerts a force of 250 n at an angle of 32.0° ab

Phoenix [80]

According to Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the box is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:
$\sum F = ma$ (1)

we are only concerned about the horizontal direction, so there are only two forces acting on the box in this direction:
- the horizontal component of the force exerted by the rope, which is equal to
$F_x = F cos \theta = (250N)(\cos 32.0^{\circ} )=212.0 N$
- the frictional force, acting in the opposite direction, which is equal to
$F_f = \mu mg=(0.350)(50.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=171.7 N$

By applying Newton's law (1), we can calculate the acceleration of the box:
$F_x - F_f = ma$
$a= \frac{F_x - F_f}{m}= \frac{212.0 N-171.7 N}{50.0 kg} =0.81 m/s^2$
