Answer:

Explanation:

the same question  was in my book hehehe so i am telling this from my book

Drift velocity: 3.32\cdot 10^{-4}m/s

2) 5.6\cdot 10^{13} electrons per person

For a current flowing through a conductor, the drift velocity of the electrons is given by the equation:

v_d=\frac{I}{neA}

where

I is the current

n is the concentration of free electrons

e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C is the electron charge

A is the cross-sectional area of the wire

The cross-sectional area can be written as

A=\pi r^2

where r is the radius of the wire. So the equation becomes

In this problem, we have:

I = 8.0 A is the current

is the concentration of free electrons

d = 1.5 mm is the diameter, so the radius is

r = 1.5/2 = 0.75 mm =0.75.10^-3m

Therefore, the drift velocity is:

vd=8.0/(8.5.10^28)(1.6.10^19)π(0.75.10^-3)^2=3.32.10^-4m/s

2)The total length of the cord in this problem is

L = 3.00 m

While the cross-sectional area is

A=π ^2=π (0.75.10^-3)^2=1.77.10^-6m^2

Therefore, the volume of the cord is

V=AL(1)

The number of electrons per unit volume is n, so the total number of electrons in this cord is

N=nV=nAL=(8.5.10^28)(1.77.10^-6)(3.0)=4.5.10^23

In total, the Earth population consists of 8 billion people, which is

N^1=8.10^9

Therefore, the number of electrons that each person would get is:

N^e=N/N^1=4.5.10^23/8.10^9=5.6.10^13

hope it helps

What are some common features in prokaryotic and eukaryotic
Elena L [17]

The common features present are;

  • Presence of DNA material in one or morechromosomes
  • They both have a plasma membrane that has a phospholipid bilayer with proteins
  • They both contain cytoplasma that contains the cytosol and organnels
  • They both have ribosomes for the synthesis of proteins.

Which type of protein would more likely be able to function as a channel through the plasma membrane
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Aquaporins

Explanation:

Aquaporins are the channel proteins that is present in the membrane of the cell which allow water to cross the membrane very quickly. This aquaporins play an important roles in plant cells, red blood cells, and certain parts of the kidney where this protein minimize the amount of water lost as urine. Without this protein, the diffusion of water across the cell membrane is not possible very quickly.

Enzymes function most efficiently at the temperature of a typical cell, which is 37 degrees celsius. increases or decreases in t
Zepler [3.9K]
Homeostasis is very important and your body function or the enzymes here because of your body being in homeostasis. If increase or decrease in temp, your body will halt all processes and try to readjust your body back to normal first because if not, then a lot of other processes would be affected negatively as well and you could potentially get ill.

A baby is assessed at one minute after birth using the Apgar scale. Three of the five vital signs are good, but the baby is weak
timama [110]

Answer: The two vital signs the medical team is concerned about are:

1. MUSCLE TONE

2. REFLEX IRRITABILITY

Explanation:

What does APGAR stand for, and what does it measure?

When the scoring system was put into common use, medical professionals created an acronym using Apgar’s last name, so that each criterion included in the assessment would be easier to remember. The five criteria assessed in the Apgar score are:

A – Appearance (skin color)

This is an evaluation of the baby’s skin color. The medical team measures if the baby blue or pale all over, blue at the extremities, or pink all over.

P – Pulse (heart rate)

During this evaluation, the medical team measures if the baby’s heart rate is absent, slow (<100 beats per minute (bpm), or fast (>100 bpm).

G – Grimace (reflex irritability/response)

During this evaluation, the medical team asks if the baby lacks a response to stimulation, responds with a grimace, or responds by crying and pulling away.

A – Activity (muscle tone)

During this evaluation, the medical team asks if the baby is limp, if the baby has some flexion (joint movement), or if the baby shows active motion.

R – Respiration (breathing ability)

During this step, the medical team asks if the baby is failing to breathe, if the baby has a weak cry and slow breathing, or if the baby is breathing well and crying normally.
