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.

Answer:

Energy transferred = 28.8 Joules.

1. Energy transferred = 144 Joules.

2. The unit of potential difference, volts can also be described as Joules per Coulombs.

3. Current, I = 6.945 Amperes.  

Explanation:

<u>Part A.</u>

Given the following data;

Current, I = 1.2A

Time, t = 2 minutes

Potential difference, V = 12 volts.

To find the energy transfered;

Energy transferred = charge moved * potential difference

E = Q * V

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Energy transferred = (1.2 * 2) * 12

Energy transferred = 2.4 * 12

Energy transferred = 28.8 Joules.

<u>Part B.</u>

1. <em><u>Given the following data;</u></em>

Charge, Q = 24C

Potential difference = 6V

To find the energy transferred;

E = Q * V

Substituting into the equation, we have;

E = 24 * 6

E = 144 Joules.

2. Since we know that, Energy transferred = charge moved * potential difference

Potential \; difference = \frac {Energy \; transferred}{Charged \; moved}

The units of energy is Joules while the unit of the quantity of charge moved is Coulomb.

Therefore, the unit of potential difference becomes Joules per Coulomb.

3. <em><u>Given the following data;</u></em>

Potential difference = 18V

Energy transferred = 500J

Time, t = 4 minutes.

To find the current;

E = Q * V

Substituting into the equation, we have;

500 = Q*18

Q = 500/18

Q = 27.78C

But, Charge moved (Q) = current (I) * time (t)

Current, I = Q/t

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Current, I = 27.78/4

Current, I = 6.945 Amperes..

Bas_tet [7]
The reason why there is no energy shortage nor will there ever be is because energy is being preserved and conserved and only changes form. It never gets lost or increased.

An athlete in a gym applies a constant force of 50 N to the pedals of a bicycle to keep the rotation rate of the wheel at 10 rev
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Force applied to pedal F = 50N

Angular velocity ω = 10rev/s

We know that, 1rev = 2πrad

Then, ω = 10rev/s = 10×2π rad/s

ω = 20π rad/s

Length of pedal r = 30cm = 0.3m

Power?

Power is given as

P = τ×ω

We need to find the torque τ

τ = r × F

Since r is perpendicular to F

Then, τ = 0.3 × 50

τ = 15 Nm

Then,

P = τ×ω

P = 15 × 20π

P = 942.48 Watts

power delivered to the bicycle by the athlete is 942.48 W

Why can’t a real machine ever have 100% efficiency
Harman [31]

Answer:

Almost all machines require energy to offset the effects of gravity, friction, and air/wind resistance. Thus, no machine can continually operate at 100 percent efficiency.
