Suppose your hair grows at the rate of 1/55 inch per day. Find the rate at which it grows in nanometers per second. Because the

distance between atoms in a molecule is on the order of 0.1 nm, your answer suggests how rapidly atoms are assembled in this protein synthesis.

Answer:5.35nm

Explanation:

Consider that 1 inch is = 0.0254m

we have,

1m= 1x10^9 nm  

While:

0.0254m = 2.54x10^7nm  

1/55 (2.54x10^7) = 4.6181 x 10^5nm  

1 day= 24 hrs  

= (24x60) when calculating in min  

= (24x60x60) calculating in seconds we have:

= 8.64x10⁴sec  

In 8.64x10^4 seconds, the hair grows by 4.6181 x 10^5nm

Therefore, the amount by which the hair grows in 1 second  will be;

= (4.6181 x 10^5)/(8.64x10^4)  

= 5.35nm  

The rate of growth will be 5.35nm

Darya [45]
<span>As a car drives with its tires rolling freely without any slippage, the type of friction acting between the tires and the road is kinetic friction.

We exert force to move the object from rest and in this case, static friction works. But, when the object comes in motion, then kinetic friction works. Here, since the car is driving without slipping means, kinetic friction acts on it. Its also called sliding or dynamic friction.</span>

A hollow cylinder that is rolling without slipping is given a velocity of 5.0 m/s and rolls up an incline to a vertical height o
inysia [295]

Answer:

The hollow cylinder rolled up the inclined plane by 1.91 m

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, total kinetic energy = total potential energy

M.E_T = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 + mgh

The total energy at the bottom of the inclined plane = total energy at the top of the inclined plane.

\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + \frac{1}{2} I \omega_i^2 + mg(0) =  \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2} I \omega_f^2 + mgh

moment of inertia, I, of a hollow cylinder = ¹/₂mr²

substitute for I in the equation above;

\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}mr^2  \omega_i^2) =  \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}mr^2  \omega_f^2) + mgh\\\\ but \ v = r \omega\\\\\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}m v_i^2  ) =  \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}m v_f^2) + mgh\\\\\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 +\frac{1}{4}mv_i^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 +\frac{1}{4}mv_f^2 +mgh\\\\\frac{3}{4}mv_i^2 = \frac{3}{4}mv_f^2 +mgh\\\\mgh = \frac{3}{4}mv_i^2 -  \frac{3}{4}mv_f^2\\\\gh = \frac{3}{4}v_i^2 -  \frac{3}{4}v_f^2\\\\

h = \frac{3}{4g}(v_1^2 -v_f^2)

given;

v₁ = 5.0 m/s

vf = 0

g = 9.8 m/s²

h = \frac{3}{4g}(v_1^2 -v_f^2) =\frac{3}{4*9.8}(5^2 -0) = 1.91 \ m

Therefore, the hollow cylinder rolled up the inclined plane by 1.91 m

A cubical box measuring 1.29 m on each side contains a monatomic ideal gas at a pressure of 2.0 atm How much thermal energy do t
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

a) U = 652.545\,kJ, b) v \approx 659.568\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

a) According to the First Law of Thermodinamics, the system is not reporting any work, mass or heat interactions. Besides, let consider that such box is rigid and, therefore, heat contained inside is the consequence of internal energy.

Q = U

The internal energy for a monoatomic ideal gas is:

U = \frac{3}{2} \cdot n \cdot R_{u} \cdot T

Let assume that cubical box contains just one kilomole of monoatomic gas. Then, the temperature is determined from the Equation of State for Ideal Gases:

T = \frac{P\cdot V}{n\cdot R_{u}}

T = \frac{(202.65\,kPa)\cdot(1.29\,m)^{3}}{(1\,kmole)\cdot(8.314\,\frac{kPa\cdot m^{3}}{kmole\cdot K} )}

T = 52.325\,K

The thermal energy contained by the gas is:

U = \frac{3}{2}\cdot (1\,kmole)\cdot (8.314\,\frac{kPa\cdot m^{3}}{kmole\cdot K})\cdot (52.325\,K)

U = 652.545\,kJ

b) The physical model for the cat is constructed from Work-Energy Theorem:

U = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{cat} \cdot v^{2}

The speed of the cat is obtained by isolating the respective variable and the replacement of every known variable by numerical values:

v = \sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot U}{m_{cat}}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{2\cdot (652.545 \times 10^{3}\,J)}{3\,kg} }

v \approx 659.568\,\frac{m}{s}
