slader A jet is circling an airport control tower at a distance of 15.9 km. An observer in the tower watches the jet cross in fr

ont of the moon. As seen from the tower, the moon subtends an angle of 8.74x10-3 radians. Find the distance traveled (in meters) by the jet as the observer watches the nose of the jet cross from one side of the moon to the other.

Answer:

y = 138.96 m

Explanation:

The angle subtended by the moon is the mean of the angle of the arc between the two most extreme points of the moon, we can see that the angle is very small, so we can approximate this arc to a straight line and then use the trigonometric relationships

         sin θ = y / L

where L = 15.9 10³ m and θ = 8.74 10⁻³ rad

          y = L sin θ

          y = 15.9 10³ sin (8.74 10⁻³)

         y = 15.9 10³    0.0087399

         y = 138.96 m

Answer:

Energy is essentially work done by an object or on object.

From,

W = Fd

It's directly proportional to mass.

from,

K. E = 1/2mv²

Energy is directly proportional to mass.

P. E = mgh

Energy is directly proportional to mass.

H = mc∆T

Energy is directly proportional to mass.

Thus increasing mass will increase the energy also imparted on another object since all the above eqns show that relationship.

And for 2 moving bodies

K.Ei = K.Ef(energy conservation)

m1u²1 + m2u²2 = m1v²1 + m2v²2

The relationship is the same that the greater mass the greater the impact.

A potential difference of 107 mV exists between the inner and outer surfaces of a cell membrane. The inner surface is negative r
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The workdone is  W = 1.712 *10^{-20 } \  J  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The potential difference is  V  =  107 mV =  107 *10^{-3} \  V

Generally the charge on  Na^{+} is  Q_{Na^{+}} = 1.60 *10^{-19 } \  C

 Generally the workdone is mathematically represented as

         W =  Q_{Na^{+}}V

=>     W = 1.60 *10^{-19 } *  107 *10^{-3}    

=>     W = 1.712 *10^{-20 } \  J
