Challenge: Some but not all of the gasoline used by car's enegine is transformed into kinetic energy. Where might some of the energy go in this system?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Most of the excess energy is released as waste heat into the air surrounding the engine. Small amounts of excess energy are also released as sound energy, and as electrical energy generated by the alternator in a car's engine.

Big bang theorists believe that the universe is expanding and will eventually contract.a. True
b. False

Answers

The statement ‘Big bang theorists believe that the universe is expanding and will eventually contract’ is false. The answer is letter B. The big bang theory suggests that the origin of the universe began with that exploded and expanded. It also states that the universe began in a single form of high condensed reactive matter and exploded forming the galaxies, planets, stars and other celestial bodies.

Device that measures electric current

Answers

This device is called an ammeter.

Consider a portion of a cell membrane that has a thickness of 7.50 nm and 1.4 µm ✕ 1.4 µm in area. A measurement of the potential difference across the inner and outer surfaces of the membrane gives a reading of 86.0 mV.a) Determine the amount of current that flows through this portion of the membrane
b) By what factor does the current change if the side dimensions of the membrane portion is halved? The other values do no change
increase by factor of 2
decrease by factor of 8
decrease by factor of 2
decrease by a factor of 4
increase by factor of 4

Answers

Answer:

Part a: The current is 1.49x10⁻¹² A

Part b: The current is decreased by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

Part a

The area is given as

A =(1.4*10⁻⁶)² =1.96*10⁻¹² m²

The resistance is given as where resistivity of the membrane material is 1.30 x 10⁷ ohms*m

R=pL/A =(1.3*10⁷)(7.5*10⁻⁹)/(1.96*10⁻¹²)

R=4.97x10¹⁰ ohms

So the resistance is 4.97x10¹⁰ ohms.

I=V/R =86.0x10⁻³/5.77x10¹⁰

I=1.49x10^⁻¹² A

So the current is 1.49x10⁻¹² A

b)

S=So/2=1.4/2 =0.7μm

A=(0.7*10^-6)^2=4.9*10⁻¹³ m²

R=pL/A =(1.3*10⁷)(7.5*10⁻⁹)/(4.9*10⁻¹³)

R=1.98x10¹¹ ohms

So the resistance is 1.98x10¹¹ ohms.

I=V/R =86.0x10⁻³/1.98x10¹¹

I2=4.52x10^⁻¹³ A

So the ratio of the new current vs the old current is as

I2/I=4.52x10^⁻¹³/1.49x10⁻¹²=0.25

So the current is decreased by a factor of 4.

Two charged objects, A and B, exert an electric force on each other. What happens if the distance between them is increased?

Answers

The correct answer to the question will be that the electric force between them will be decreased.

EXPLANATION:

Let us consider the charge contained by A and B are denoted as Q and Q' respectively.

Let R is the separation distance between them.

As per Coulomb's law in electrostatics, the force of attraction or repulsion between the two charge bodies A and B  will be -

           Coulombic force F = (1)/(4\pi \epsilon) (QQ')/(R^2)

Here, \epsilon is the permittivity of the medium in which the charges are present.

From above, we see that electric force is inversely proportional to the square of separation distance between them.

Mathematically it can be written:  F\ \alpha\ (1)/(R^2)

As per the question, the distance between A and B is increased.

Hence, the electric force between A and B will be decreased.

I agree with Hussein but I would like to add that when the distance between two charged objects increase, the force decreases by the Coulomb` s Law:
F= k * Q1*Q2 / r^2
where k is constant Q1, Q2-quantity of electricity and r- distance between two charged objects. So when you increase r, you divide with greater number and result decreases.
F=k(q1 * q2)/( r^(2) )

Scientists use different types of microscopes to observe objects that are not visible to the naked eye.

transmission electron microscope

b.

scanning electron microscope

c.

compound light microscope

d.

dissecting microscope

Answers

A compound light microscope is the correct answer. Compound light microscopes provide a clear picture of many microorganisms, such as protozoans, and are used to view their structures and movements. Often, in the field of Microbiology, compound light microscopes are used for observing living microorganisms.

Answer;

-Compound light microscope

Explanation;

-A compound microscope is a microscope that uses multiple lenses to enlarge the image of a sample. It is commonly used for viewing samples at high magnification (40 - 1000x), which is achieved by the combined effect of two sets of lenses: the ocular lens and the objective lenses.

-Compound microscopes usually include exchangeable objective lenses with different magnifications (e.g 4x, 10x, 40x and 60x), mounted on a turret, to adjust the magnification. These microscopes also include a condenser lens and iris diaphragm, which are important for regulating how light hits the sample.
