Bacteria vary somewhat in size, but a diameter of 2.9 μm is not unusual.

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

a) 6.4 x 10^-12 cm^3

b) 17 x 10^-6 mm^2

Explanation

a). The shape is assumed to be spherical The volume = volume of a sphere = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

πr

V = \frac{4}{3}*3.142* 1.15^3

∗3.142∗1.15

= 6.3715 μm^3

1 μm^3 = 10^-12 cm^3

6.3715 μm^3 = 6.3715 x 10^-12 cm^3

==> 6.4 x 10^-12 cm^3

A tortoise can move with a speed of 10.0cm/s, while a rabbit can move 10 times faster. In a race, both of them started at the sa

Xelga [282]

Answer:

C. 199.9 s

Explanation:

3 minutes = 3×60 = 180 seconds.

the turtle moves in that time 180×10 = 1800 cm.

in other words the rabbit gave it that much head-start (it does not matter if that was at the begin of in the middle of the race).

the rabbit moves with 10×10cm/s = 100cm/s.

the rabbit needs therefore 1800/100 = 18 seconds for the

1800 cm.

at that time the turtle has added another 18×10 = 180 cm.

for which the rabbit needs 180/100 = 1.8 seconds.

during that time the turtle has added 1.8×10 = 18 cm.

and so on.

in formal mathematics this looks like this :

1800 + 10x = 100x

after x seconds of the rabbit running both will have run the same distance, and it is a tie.

1800 = 90x

x = 20 seconds

so, at that point, the rabbit was actively running for 20 seconds and raced 20×100 = 2000 cm

and the turtle was actively running for 180 + 20 = 200 seconds, and also covered 200×10 = 2000 cm.

but our question tells us that the turtle won by 10 cm.

so, the race was over a little bit before these 200 seconds (for a tie).

this means, the rabbit could not run the last 10 cm for the tie (because the race was over and the turtle had won).

the rabbit would have needed 10/100 seconds for these 10 cm.

as speed = distance/time

we need to divide distance by speed

distance/1 / distance/time

to get time.

so,

10cm/1 / 100cm/s = 10s/100 = 1/10 s

so, we need to deduct this 1/10 s from the 200 seconds of the turtle (and also from the 20 seconds for the rabbit).

the race lasted of course the whole time the turtle was running (while the rabbit was resting, officially still participating in the race with speed 0 for 3 minutes).

and so, the race was 199.9 s long.

Choose the sequence of energy forms that best fits each item.

levacccp [35]

Answer:

1. chemical energy --> electrical energy --> light energy

2. Electrical Energy --> Mechanical Energy

3. Electrical Energy --> Heat Energy

4. Chemical Energy --> Thermal Energy --> Mechanical Energy

5. Nuclear Energy --> Light energy and thermal energy

6. Mechanical Energy --> Electric Energy

7. Chemical Energy --> Electrical Energy --> Sound Energy

8. Mechanical Energy --> Sound Energy

Explanation:

1.FLASHLIGHT:

chemical energy --> electrical energy --> light energy

The chemical energy from the cell batteries is converted to electrical energy, which is used to produce the light energy in form of flashlight.

2.ELECTRIC SAW:

Electrical Energy --> Mechanical Energy

The electrical energy from the socket is converted to the mechanical energy used to run the saw blade.

3.TOASTER:

Electrical Energy --> Heat Energy

The electrical energy from the socket is converted to the heat energy (thermal energy) used in browning the bread.

4.GAS POWERED SCOOTER:

Chemical Energy --> Thermal Energy --> Mechanical Energy

The chemical energy from fuel, such as petrol is converted to heat (thermal energy) in the engine by the process of combustion. This heat is then used to do work by conversion into mechanical energy, through piston movement, which in turn moves the shaft and the scooter.

5.THE SUN:

Nuclear Energy --> Light energy and thermal energy

The nuclear reactions on Sun provide nuclear energy which is converted into light and thermal energy that reaches us on earth.

6.WIND TURBINE:

Mechanical Energy --> Electric Energy

The mechanical energy is provided by wind when it rotates the blade of turbine. This is then converted to electrical energy b the turbine.

7.IPOD:

Chemical Energy --> Electrical Energy --> Sound Energy

The chemical energy i supplied by the battery of ipod, which is converted to electrical energy and that electrical energy is used to produce sound by ipod.

8.SPEAKER VIBRATES

Mechanical Energy --> Sound Energy

The mechanical energy due to vibration produces sound energy.
