Answer:

η = 58.8%

Explanation:

Work is defined as the force applied by the distance traveled by the body.

W =F*d

where:

W = work [J] (units of joules)

F = force = 294 [N]

d = distance = 5 [m]

W = 294*5\\W = 1470 [J]\\

Efficiency is defined as the energy required to perform an activity in relation to the energy actually added to perform some activity. This can be better understood by means of the following equation.

efficiency = W_{done}/W_{required}\\efficiency = 1470/2500\\efficiency = 0.588 = 58.8%

To solve this problem we will use the kinematic equations of angular motion, starting from the definition of angular velocity in terms of frequency, to verify the angular displacement and its respective derivative, let's start:

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi (2.5)

\omega = 5\pi rad/s

The angular displacement is given as the form:

\theta (t) = \theta_0 cos(\omega t)

In the equlibrium we have to t=0, \theta(t) = \theta_0 and in the given position we have to

\theta(t) = \theta_0 cos(5\pi t)

Derived the expression we will have the equivalent to angular velocity

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = 2.7rad/s

Replacing,

\theta_0(sin(5\pi t))5\pi = 2.7

Finally

\theta_0 = \frac{2.7}{5\pi}rad = 9.848\°

Therefore the maximum angular displacement is 9.848°

Diffusion of particles through protein channels is called
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Facilitated diffusion.

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion is the movement of molecules across a biological cell membrane by the use of a membrane protein.

It is a spontaneous passive movement and it can also be reffered to as FACILITATED TRANSPORT or PASSIVE-MEDIATED TRANSPORT.

Why don't we see objects in the universe colliding or moving towards each other due to gravitational force?​
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

the objects in the universe are evenly placed. This means that a celestial object's gravity may not be able to attract another object. Another reason may be that the stars in solar systems act as points of equilibrium for the planets in the system. Take for example the sun. It maintains the position of the planets in the system and likewise the earth maintains the position of the moon. You can picture it as evenly placed atoms in matter and the subsequent electrons held by the nucleus
