A can of sardines is made to move along an x axis from x = 0.47 m to x = 1.20 m by a force with a magnitude given by F = exp(–8x

), with x in meters and F in newtons. (Here exp is the exponential function.) How much work is done on the can by the force?

If the force were constant or increasing, we could guess that the speed of the sardines is increasing. Since the force is decreasing but staying in contact with the can, we know that the can is slowing down, so there must be friction involved.
Work is the integral of (force x distance) over the distance, which is just the area under the distance/force graph.
The integral of exp(-8x) dx that we need is (-1/8)exp(-8x) evaluated from 0.47 to 1.20 .

I get 0.00291 of a Joule ... seems like a very suspicious solution, but for an exponential integral at a cost of 5 measly points, what can you expect. On the other hand, it's not really too unreasonable. The force is only 0.023 Newton at the beginning, and 0.000067 newton at the end, and the distance is only about 0.7 meter, so there certainly isn't a lot of work going on. The main question we're left with after all of this is: Why sardines ? ?

irinina [24]

The speed of the second satellite is less than the speed of the first satellite.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

The speed of any moving object is the ratio of the distance covered and the time taken to cover that distance.

Given is a satellite is in a circular orbit around a planet. A second satellite is placed in a different circular orbit that is farther away from the same planet.

When the distance from the center of the orbit increases, the time to complete the orbit will be greater.

Thus, the speed of the second satellite is less than the speed of the first satellite.

What is the potential difference across a parallel-plate capacitor whose plates are separated by a distance of 4.0 mm where each
suter [353]

The potential difference across the parallel plate capacitor is 2.26 millivolts

<h3>Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor</h3>

The capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor is given by C = ε₀A/d where

  • ε₀ = permittivity of free space = 8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m,
  • A = area of plates and
  • d = distance between plates = 4.0 mm = 4.0 × 10⁻³ m.

<h3>Charge on plates</h3>

Also, the surface charge on the capacitor Q = σA where

  • σ = charge density = 5.0 pC/m² = 5.0 × 10⁻¹² C/m² and
  • a = area of plates.

<h3>The potential difference across the parallel plate capacitor</h3>

The potential difference across the parallel plate capacitor is V = Q/C

= σA ÷ ε₀A/d

= σd/ε₀

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

V = σd/ε₀

V = 5.0 × 10⁻¹² C/m² × 4.0 × 10⁻³ m/8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m

V = 20.0 C/m × 10⁻³/8.854 F/m

V = 2.26 × 10⁻³ Volts

V = 2.26 millivolts

So, the potential difference across the parallel plate capacitor is 2.26 millivolts

Why is it important for body cell to have twice and many chromosomes as sex cells?
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Why sex cells only need half the number of chromosomes compared to other cells in the body?  As gametes are produced, the number of chromosomes must be reduced by half. Why? The zygote must contain genetic information from the mother and from the father, so the gametes must contain half of the chromosomes found in normal body cells.
