Answer:

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.

Explanation:

A gradient of concentration is the difference between in concentration of one place / area substance to different area. Having a molecule flow down its concentration gradient means moving the molecules from hypotonic areas to the concentration hypertonic areas

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.

My Notes Ask Your Teacher 6. Six blocks with different masses, m, each start from rest at the top of smooth, frictionless inclin
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Kf > Ka = Kb > Kc > Kd > Ke

Explanation:

We can apply

E₀ = E₁

where

E₀: Mechanical energy at the beginning of the motion (top of the incline)

E₁: Mechanical energy at the end (bottom of the incline)

then

K₀ + U₀ = K₁ + U₁

If v₀ = 0  ⇒  K₀

and  h₁ = 0   ⇒    U₁ = 0

we get

U₀ = K₁    

U₀ = m*g*h₀ = K₁

we apply the same equation in each case

a) U₀ = K₁ = m*g*h₀ = 70 Kg*9.81 m/s²*8m = 5493.60 J

b) U₀ = K₁ = m*g*h₀ = 70 Kg*9.81 m/s²*8m = 5493.60 J

c) U₀ = K₁ = m*g*h₀ = 35 Kg*9.81 m/s²*4m = 1373.40 J

d) U₀ = K₁ = m*g*h₀ = 7 Kg*9.81 m/s²*16m = 1098.72 J

e) U₀ = K₁ = m*g*h₀ = 7 Kg*9.81 m/s²*4m = 274.68 J

f) U₀ = K₁ = m*g*h₀ = 105 Kg*9.81 m/s²*6m = 6180.30 J

finally, we can say that

Kf > Ka = Kb > Kc > Kd > Ke

A block weighing 10 newtons is resting on a plane inclined 30° to the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the normal force acti
aleksley [76]

Magnitude of normal force acting on the block is 7 N

Explanation:

10N = 1.02kg

Mass of the block = m = 1.02 kg

Angle of incline Θ =  30°

Normal force acting on the block = N

From the free body diagram,

N = mgCos Θ

N = (1.02)(9.81)Cos(30)

N = 8.66 N

Rounding off to nearest whole number,

N = 7 N

Magnitude of normal force acting on the block = 7 N

An electric car is being designed to have an average power output of 4,600 W for 2 h before needing to be recharged. (Assume the
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

a)3312 x 10⁴ J

b)I = 57.5 A

c)9200 W

Explanation:

Given that

P =4600 W

Time t= 2 h = 2 x 3600 s= 7200 s

We know that

1 W = 1 J/s

a)

Energy stored in the battery = P .t

                                              =4600 x 7200 J

                                            =3312 x 10⁴ J

b)

We know that power P given as

P = V .I

V=Voltage  ,I =Current

4600 = 80 x I

I = 57.5 A

c)

The energy supplied = 4600 x 2 = 9200 W
