Hi 

<span>Explicit- and implicit-solvent molecular dynamics simulations are performed to study complexation in two polyelectrolyte systems: poly(styrene sulfonate)/poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PSS/PAH) and poly(acrylic acid)/poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAA/PAH). Both these systems have been used in layer-by-layer assembly of polyelectrolyte films, with the first of these typically yielding linear growth in film thickness with increasing numbers of layers and the second yielding exponential growth. In both the systems, the polyelectrolytes have the same number of monomers and are present in stoichiometric proportion, and water is used as solvent. Simulations give important insights into the structure and composition of the complexes. We found that the PSS/PAH complex is more compact and has a smaller fraction of water than the PAA/PAH complex due to the presence of phenyl rings in the PSS chain and the hydrophilic nature of the charged group in the PAA chain. Either an increase in salt concentration or a decrease in partial charge fraction increases swelling and the water content in the complex. To overcome the computational limitations associated with the explicit-solvent simulation, a simple strategy to develop the force field for an implicit-solvent simulation is proposed. In the absence of salt and for fully charged polyelectrolytes, the radius-of-gyration and the various radial distribution functions predicted by the implicit-solvent simulation match well with those predicted by the explicit-solvent simulation, while reasonable agreement is obtained in the other cases. The implicit-solvent simulation was performed for bigger system sizes, and we observed trends similar to those observed for smaller system sizes, suggesting that the simulation results are independent of system size.

A train car has a mass of 10,000 kg and is moving at +3.0 m/s. It strikes an identical train car that is at rest. The train cars
shtirl [24]
In order to compute the final velocity of the trains, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum which is:
initial momentum = final momentum
m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

The final mass of the trains will be:
10,000 + 10,000 = 20,000 kg
Substituting the values into the equation:

10,000 * 3 = 20,000 * v
v = 1.5 m/s

The final velocity of the trains will be 1.5 m/s

Korvikt [17]

<u>Complete Question:</u>

A hockey player swings her hockey stick and strikes a puck. According to Newton’s third law of motion, which of the following is a reaction to the stick pushing on the puck?

A. the puck pushing on the stick .

B. the stick pushing on the player .

C. the player pushing on the stick .

D. the puck pushing on the player.

<u>Correct Option:</u>

According to Newton’s third law of motion the puck pushing on the stick is a reaction to the stick pushing on the puck.

<u>Option: A</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

As when the hockey exert force on the puck (which is a flat ball basically used in ice hockey) then this action by hockey will receive equal and opposite reaction by puck. Thus when the stick is pushing on the this flat ball, then puck also push the stick. This is understood by newton's third law pf motion, where action and reaction forces are subject of discussion, displaying their is pair of forces applied among the interacting objects. This form is observed more practically in life and very frequent.

Calculate the weight of an apple of mass 100grams on Earth
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

In physics the standard unit of weight is Newton, and the standard unit of mass is the kilogram. On Earth, a 1 kg object weighs 9.8 N, so to find the weight of an object in N simply multiply the mass by 9.8 N. Or, to find the mass in kg, divide the weight by 9.8 N.

A ball strikes a wall. It exerts a force of 10 N to the left against the wall and bounces off. What force does the wall exert on
Galina-37 [17]
The wall exerts a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction. So the force by the wall is 10 N to the right.
