What happens to a cell in an hypotonic solution?

Physics

Vesnalui [34]3 years ago

Answer:

★ In a hypotonic solution, the solute concentration is lower than inside the cell. If the water continues to move into the cell, it can stretch the cell membrane to the point the cell bursts (lyses) and dies.

Consider three force vectors Fi with magni- tude 53 N and direction 116º, F2 with mag- nitude 57 N and direction 217°, and F3 wi

Flauer [41]

Answer:

a. Fnet =37.67N

b. The direction = 133.4 from the x axis counter clockwise.

c. Option 2

Explanation:

Given that F1 is 53N at 116°, then it will be at a direction of 116-90=26° in the second quadrant.

Given that F2 is 57N at 116°, then it will be at a direction of 217-180=37° in the third quadrant..

Given that F1 is 71N at 20°, then it is in the first quadrant.

a. Fnet= F1+F2+F3

Fnet= -F1sin26i+F2cos26j-F2cos37i-F2sin37j+F3cos20i+F3sin20j

Fnet= 53sin26i+53cos26j-57cos37i-57sin37j+71cos20i+71sin20j

Resolving the vectors into x and y components.

Fnet= -2.04i+37.62j

Magnitude of the vector

Fnet= √((-2.04)^2+(37.62)^2)

Fnet= 37.67N

Fnet is approximately 38N.

b. Direction of the Fnet.

Angle=arctan(y/x)

Angle=arctan(-37.61/2.04)

Angle= -43.37°

The angle is in the negative x axis and positive y axis.

Then the direction becomes 180-43.37

Therefore, the direction of the net force is 133.37°.

c. The instantaneous velocity of a body is always in the direction of the net force at that instant. Option 2 is correct.

Fnet=ma

Fnet= mv/t

So the velocity is in the direction of the Fnet.

An ant is crawling along a yardstick that is pointed with the 0-inch mark to the east and the 36-inch mark to the west. It start

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

it moves 25 inches.

Explanation:

the east west bit isn't important, ignore it. if an ant starts at 6 then moves to 19 then we need to subtract 19 from 6, that's 13. then it moves to 7. the difference between 19 and 7 is 12. add that to 13 and you get 25. it's important to remember that there is no such thing as negative distance. if it moved, then it counts.

Consider the four quantum numbers of an electron in an atom, n, l, ml, and ms. The energy of an electron in an isolated atom dep

Effectus [21]

Answer:

The energy of an electron in an isolated atom depends on b. n only.

Explanation:

The quantum number n, known as the principal quantum number represents the relative overall energy of each orbital.

The sets of orbitals with the same n value are often referred to as an electron shell, in an isolated atom all electrons in a subshell have exactly the same level of energy.

The principal quantum number comes from the solution of the Schrödinger wave equation, which describes energy in eigenstates $E_n$ , and for the case of an hydrogen atom we have:

$E_n=-\cfrac{13.6}{n^2}\, eV$

Thus for each value of n we can describe the orbital and the energy corresponding to each electron on such orbital.

A cat’s crinkle ball toy of mass 15g is thrown straight up with an initial speed of 3m/s. Assume in this problem that air drag i

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

P.E = 0.068 J = 68 mJ

Explanation:

First we need to find the height attained by the ball toy. For this purpose, we will be using 3rd equation of motion:

2gh = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g = -9.8 m/s² (negative sign due to upward motion)

h = height attained by the ball toy = ?

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (since it momentarily stops at the highest point)

Vi = Initial Velocity = 3 m/s

Therefore,

2(-9.8 m/s²)h = (0 m/s)² - (3 m/s)²

h = (9 m²/s²)/(19.6 m/s²)

h = 0.46 m

Now, the gravitational potential energy of ball at its peak is given by the following formula:

P.E = mgh

P.E = (0.015 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(0.46 m)
