Answer:

The value is  v  =  2.3359 *10^{4} \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  initial speed is u =  2.05 *10^{4} \  m/s

 Generally the total energy possessed by the space probe when on earth is mathematically represented as

             T__{E}} =  KE__{i}} +  KE__{e}}

Here  KE_i is the kinetic energy of the space probe due to its initial speed which is mathematically represented as

          KE_i =   \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  u^2

=>       KE_i =   \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  (2.05 *10^{4})^2

=>       KE_i =  2.101 *10^{8} \ \ m \ \ J

And  KE_e is the kinetic energy that the space probe requires to escape the Earth's gravitational pull , this is mathematically represented as

       KE_e =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  v_e^2

Here v_e is the escape velocity from earth which has a value v_e =  11.2 *10^{3} \  m/s

=>    KE_e =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  (11.3 *10^{3})^2

=>    KE_e =  6.272 *10^{7} \  \  m  \ \   J

Generally given that at a position that is very far from the earth that the is Zero, the kinetic energy at that position is mathematically represented as

        KE_p =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  v^2

Generally from the law energy conservation we have that

        T__{E}} =  KE_p

So

       2.101 *10^{8}  m  +  6.272 *10^{7}  m  =   \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  v^2

=>     5.4564 *10^{8} =   v^2

=>     v =  \sqrt{5.4564 *10^{8}}

=>     v  =  2.3359 *10^{4} \ m/s

The air pressure inside a car tire is
Valentin [98]

Answer:

0.137m²

Explanation:

Pressure = Force/Area

Given

Force = 41,500N

Pressure = 3.00atm

since 1atm = 101325.00 N/m²

3atm = 3(101325.00)

3atm = 303,975N/m²

Pressure = 303,975N/m²

Get the area

Area = Force/Pressure

Area = 41500/303,975

Area = 0.137m²'

Hence the surface area of the  inside of the tire is 0.137m²

A child pushes horizontally on a box of mass m which moves with constant speed v across a horizontal floor. The coefficient of f
dexar [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of box is m

speed of box is v

coefficient of friction \mu =\frac{1}{4}=0.25

Box is moving at a constant speed i.e. Net Force on box is zero

i.e. Frictional Force and Force Applied are Equal

F=f_r=\mu mg

The Rate at which power is generated is

P=F\cdot v

P=\mu mg\cdot v

P=0.25mgv

What is a key difference between cell signaling by a cell-surface receptor and cell signaling by an intracellular receptor?
Art [367]

CORRECT ANSWER:

a- Cell-surface receptors bind polar signaling molecules; intracellular receptors bind nonpolar signaling molecules.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

The complete question from book is

According to Figure 9.6, what is a key difference between cell signaling by a cell-surface receptor and cell signaling by an intracellular receptor?

a- Cell-surface receptors bind polar signaling molecules; intracellular receptors bind nonpolar signaling molecules.

b- Signaling molecules that bind to cell-surface receptors lead to cellular responses restricted to the cytoplasm; signaling molecules that bind to intracellular receptors lead to cellular responses restricted to the nucleus.

c- Cell-surface receptors bind to specific signaling molecules; intracellular receptors bind any signaling molecule.

d- Cell-surface receptors typically bind to signaling molecules that are smaller than those bound by intracellular receptors.

e- None of the other answer options is correct.
