A cell membrane consists of an inner and outer wall separated by a distance of approximately 10 nm. Assume that the walls act li

ke a parallel plate capacitor, each with a charge density of 10-5 C/m2, and the outer wall is positively charged. Although unrealistic, assume that the space between cell wall is filled with air. What is the magnitude of the electric field between the membranes

Answer:

E = 1.1 10⁶ N / C

Explanation:

In this case they indicate that we can approximate the membrane as a parallel plate capacitor, we can use

            E = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_o }

note that in this case the electric field created by each plate goes in the same direction, they are added

let's calculate

            E =  \frac{10^{-5}}{8.85 \ 10^{-12}}

            E = 1.1 10⁶ N / C

Newton's First and Second Laws of Motion:Question 3Kepler-10b, the first confirmed terrestrial extrasolar planet, is about 564 l
OleMash [197]

Answer:

F = 85696.5 N = 85.69 KN

Explanation:

In this scenario, we apply Newton's Second Law:

Unbalanced\ Force = ma\\Upthrust - Weight\ of\ Space\ Craft = ma\\F - W = ma\\F - mg = ma\\F = m(g + a)\\

where,

F = Upthrust = ?

m = mass of space craft = 5000 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity on surface of Kepler-10b = (1.53)(9.81 m/s²)

g = 15.0093 m/s²

a = acceleration required = 2.13 m/s²

Therefore,

F = (5000\ kg)(15.0093\ m/s^{2} + 2.13\ m/s^{2})\\

<u>F = 85696.5 N = 85.69 KN</u>

Heart cells must contract simultaneously to move blood.
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

<u>A</u>

Explanation:

The heart cells must contract simultaneously to move blood.

This means that it needs to act fast and efficiently.

Therefore, the connections among heart cells are characterized by :

  • having many branches
  • having many communicating junctions

The correct option should be <u>A</u>

How and why does air pressure change with altitude in the atmosphere?
wlad13 [49]
Pressure with Height: pressure decreases with incrementing altitude. The pressure at any caliber in the atmosphere may be interpreted as the total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation. At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a homogeneous surface at lower calibers.
