<span>Cells undergo mitosis for three main reasons:
-To repair and/or replace old or damaged cells.
-During periods of cell and tissue growth
-When the body needs exact replicas/copies of cells e.g. hair cells and blood cells.</span>

What is the momentum of a man of mass 10kg when he walks with a uniform velocity of 2m/s.

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

$Momentum(p) = 20kgm/s$

Explanation:

Given

Mass = 10kg

Velocity = 2m/s

Required

Calculate the momentum of the man

Momentum is calculated as thus

$Momentum(p) = Mass(m) * Velocity(v)$

$p = mv$

So; to solve this question; we simply substitute 10kg for mass and 2m/s for velocity in the above formula;

The formula becomes

$Momentum(p) = 10kg * 2m/s$

$Momentum(p) = 10 * 2 * kg * m/s$

$Momentum(p) = 20kgm/s$

Hence, the momentum of the man is $20kgm/s$

The question states: two large, parallel conducting plates are 12cm

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

1. 24375 N/C

2. 2925 V

Explanation:

d = 12 cm = 0.12 m

F = 3.9 x 10^-15 N

q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

1. The relation between the electric field and the charge is given by

F = q E

So, $E=\frac{F}{q}$

$E=\frac{3.9 \times 10^{-15}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}$

E = 24375 N/C

2. The potential difference and the electric field is related by the given relation.

V = E x d

where, V be the potential difference, E be the electric field strength and d be the distance between the electrodes.

By substituting the values, we get

V = 24375 x 0.12 = 2925 Volt

A 1.0 kg football is given an initial velocity at ground level of 20.0 m/s [37 above horizontal]. It gets blocked just after re

stepan [7]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

Neglect air resistance.
The horizontal component of the launch velocity is
(20 m/s)*cos(37°) = 15.973 m/s
The vertical component of the launch velocity is
(20 m/s)*sin(37°) = 12.036 m/s

The acceleration due to gravity is g =9.8 m/s².
The time, t s, for the ball to reach a height of 3 m is given by
(12.036 m/s)*(t s) - (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(t s)² = (3 m)
12.036t - 4.9t² - 3 = 0
2.4543t - t² - 0.6122 = 0
t² - 2.4563t + 0.6122 = 0
Solve with the quadratic formula.
t = (1/2)[2.4563 +/- √(6.0334 - 2.4488)]
t = 2.1748 or 0.2815 s
The ball reaches a height of 3 m twice.
The first time it reaches 3 m height is 0.2815 s.

Part a.
The vertical velocity when t = 0.2815 s is
Vy = 12.036 - 9.8*0.2815
= 9.2773 m/s
The horizontal component of velocity is Vx = 15.973 m/s
The resultant velocity is
√(9.2773² + 15.973² ) = 18.47 m/s
Answer:
The velocity at a height of 3.0 m is 18.5 m/s (nearest tenth)

Part b.
The horizontal distance traveled is
d = (15.973 m/s)*(0.2815 s) = 4.4964 m
Answer:
The horizontal distance traveled is 4.5 m (nearest tenth)
