Answer:

Sodium-Potassium Pumps

Explanation:

Sodium-Potassium Pumps written as Na-K Pumps are ion channels found in the cell membrane of nerve cells. These pumps are responsible for maintaining the different ion concentrations across the membrane and help in polarization and depolarization of the membrane by influencing membrane potential. During ion exchange these pumps transfer three sodium ions from inside to outside of the cell and two potassium ions from outside to inside of the cell. In this way they maintain the ion concentration gradient across membrane.

A roller coaster starts down a hill at 10 m/s. Three seconds later, its speed is 32 m/s. What is the roller coaster’s accelerati
erica [24]
Final velocity(v) = 32 m/s
Initial velocity(u) = 10 m/s

Using kinematic equation v = u + at, 

32 = 10 + a(3)

32-10
---------  = a
    3

a = 22
      ----
       3

a = 7.3 m/s^2.

Hence acceleration of the roller coaster is 7.3 m/s^2.

Hope this helps!!

the red line observed in the line spectrum for hydrogen has 3.03x10^-19J, what is the wavelength, in nm, of this?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

λ = 6.5604 x 1016 nm

Explanation:

Given Data:

The energy of the red line in Hydrogen Spectra = 3.03 x 10-19

Formula to calculate Wave length

E= hv

Where E is Energy

h is Planks Constant = 6.626 x 10–34 J s

v is frequency

In turn

v= c/ λ

where c is speed of light = 3.00 x 108 m s–1

λ is wavelength = to find

Solution:

Formula to be Used:

E= hv………………………… (1)

Putting the value v in equation 1

               E= h c/ λ…………………… (2)

Put the value in equation 2

3.03 x 10-19 J  = (6.626 x 10–34 J s) x (3.00 x 108 m s–1) / λ ……………………….(3)

By rearranging equation 3

λ = (6.626 x 10–34 J s) x (3.00 x 108 m s–1) /3.03 x 10-19  J

λ = 6.5604 x 107 m

The answer is in “m”

So we have to convert it into nm

So for this to convert “m” to “nm” multiply the answer with 109

λ = 6.5604 x 107 x 109

λ = 6.5604 x 1016 nm
