Answer:

If you take the first example of the walk around the desk, it should be apparent that sometimes the distance is the same as the magnitude of the displacement. ... Since the displacement is measured along the shortest path between two points, its magnitude is always less than or equal to the distance.

What would the electrostatic force be for two 0.005C charges 50m apart?

irakobra [83]

Answer:

90 N

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charges is given by:

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the charges

In this problem we have

q1 = q2 = 0.005 C

r = 50 m

So the electrostatic force is

$F=(9\cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2})\frac{(0.005 C)^2}{(50 m)^2}=90 N$

A homodimeric protein was found to migrate through SDS polyacrilamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) with a mobility that matche

disa [49]

Answer:

Adding a reducing agent

Explanation:

Homodimeric proteins are formed by non-covalent interactions between two identical proteins (monomers).

Some of these intermolecular interactions are mediated by disulphide bonds which can be broken by a reducing agent like beta-mercaptoethanol (2-ME).

By adding the reducing agent to the gel, it is probable that the dimer is broken and the band observed will correspond to the two identical 22.5-kDa monomers.
