Answer:

The usual method of prokaryote cell division is termed binary fission. The prokaryotic chromosome is a single DNA molecule that first replicates, then attaches each copy to a different part of the cell membrane. When the cell begins to pull apart, the replicate and original chromosomes are separated.

Suppose you have two solid bars, both with square cross-sections of 1 cm2. They are both 24.6 cm long, but one is made of copper

vodka [1.7K]

Explanation:

Expression to calculate thermal resistance for iron ( $R_{I}$ ) is as follows.

$R_{I} = \frac{L_{I}}{k_{I} \times A_{I}}$

where, $L_{I}$ = length of the iron bar

$k_{I}$ = thermal conductivity of iron

$A_{I}$ = Area of cross-section for the iron bar

Thermal resistance for copper ( $R_{c}$ ) = \frac{L_{c}}{k_{c} \times A_{c}}[/tex]

where, $L_{c}$ = length of copper bar

$k_{c}$ = thermal conductivity of copper

$A_{c}$ = Area of cross-section for the copper bar

Now, expression for the transfer of heat per unit cell is as follows.

Q = $\frac{(100^{o} - 0^{o}}{\frac{L_{I}}{k_{I}.A_{I}} + \frac{L_{c}}{k_{c}.A_{c}}}$

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

Q = $\frac{(100^{o} - 0^{o})}{\frac{L_{I}}{k_{I}.A_{I}} + \frac{L_{c}}{k_{c}.A_{c}}}$

= $\frac{(100^{o} - 0^{o})}{21 \times 10^{-2} m[\frac{1}{73 \times 10^{-4}m^{2}} + \frac{1}{386 \times 10^{-4}m^{2}}}$

= 2.92 Joule

It is known that heat transfer per unit time is equal to the power conducted through the rod. Hence,

P = $\frac{Q}{T}$

Here, T is 1 second so, power conducted is equal to heat transferred.

So, P = 2.92 watt

Thus, we can conclude that 2.92 watt power will be conducted through the rod when it reaches steady state.

A 13.5 μF capacitor is connected to a power supply that keeps a constant potential difference of 22.0 V across the plates. A pie

-BARSIC- [3]

a) $3.27\cdot 10^{-3} J$

b) $11.60\cdot 10^{-3} J$

c) $8.33\cdot 10^{-3} J$

Explanation:

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by

$U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2$

where

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

V is the potential difference across the plates of the capacitor

For the capacitor in this problem, before insering the dielectric, we have:

$C=13.5 \mu F = 13.5\cdot 10^{-6}F$ is its capacitance

V = 22.0 V is the potential difference across it

Therefore, the initial energy stored in the capacitor is:

$U=\frac{1}{2}(13.5\cdot 10^{-6})(22.0)^2=3.27\cdot 10^{-3} J$

After the dielectric is inserted into the plates, the capacitance of the capacitor changes according to:

$C'=kC$

where

k = 3.55 is the dielectric constant of the material

C is the initial capacitance of the capacitor

Therefore, the energy stored now in the capacitor is:

$U'=\frac{1}{2}C'V^2=\frac{1}{2}kCV^2$

where:

$C=13.5\cdot 10^{-6}F$ is the initial capacitance

V = 22.0 V is the potential difference across the plate

Substituting, we find:

$U'=\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(13.5\cdot 10^{-6})(22.0)^2=11.60\cdot 10^{-3} J$

The initial energy stored in the capacitor, before the dielectric is inserted, is

$U=3.27\cdot 10^{-3} J$

The final energy stored in the capacitor, after the dielectric is inserted, is

$U'=11.60\cdot 10^{-3} J$

Therefore, the change in energy of the capacitor during the insertion is:

$\Delta U=11.60\cdot 10^{-3}-3.27\cdot 10^{-3}=8.33\cdot 10^{-3} J$

So, the energy of the capacitor has increased by $8.33\cdot 10^{-3} J$

If an object is moving, then the magnitude of its ____ cannot be zero.

Bad White [126]

If an object is moving, then its speed and the magnitude
of its velocity aren't zero.

If its velocity is constant (speed doesn't change and it's
moving in a straight line), then its acceleration is zero.

Looks like choice-D sums it up nicely.

A satellite is put into an orbit at a distance from the center of the Earth equal to twice the distance from the center of the E

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

995 N

Explanation:

Weight of surface, w= 4000N

Gravitational constant, g, is taken as 9.81 hence mass, m of surface is W/g where W is weight of surface

m= 4000/9.81= 407.7472

Using radius of orbit of 6371km

The force of gravity of satellite in its orbit, $F=\frac {GMm}{(2r)^{2}}=\frac {GMm}{4(r)^{2}}$
