With countercurrent flow, diffusion happened in all regions of the filter. Explain why

Answer:

When the blood and the dialysate are flowing in the same direction, as the the dialysate and the blood move away from the region of higher concentration of the urea, to a region distant from the source, the concentration of urea in the blood stream and in the dialysis reach equilibrium and diffusion across the semipermeable membrane stops within the higher filter regions such as II, III, IV or V

However, for counter current flow, as the concentration of the urea in the blood stream becomes increasingly lesser the, it encounters increasingly unadulterated dialysate coming from the dialysate source, such that diffusion takes place in all regions of the filter

During the 440, a runner changes his speed as he comes out of the curve onto the home stretch from 18 ft/sec to 38 ft/sec over a
Sloan [31]

Answer:

6.67ft/s^2

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity=u=18ft/s

Final velocity,v=38ft/s

Time=t=3 s

We have to find the average acceleration over that 3 s period.

We know that

Average acceleration,a=\frac{v-u}{t}{t}

Using the formula

Average acceleration,a=\frac{38-18}{3}ft/s^2

Average acceleration,a=\frac{20}{3}ft/s^2

Average acceleration,a=6.67ft/s^2

Hence, the average acceleration=6.67ft/s^2

A blue puck has a velocity of 0i – 3j m/s and a mass of 4 kg. A gold puck has a velocity of 12i – 5j m/s and a mass of 6 kg. Wha
Mnenie [13.5K]
By definition, the kinetic energy is given by:
 K = (1/2) * m * v ^ 2
 where
 m = mass
 v = speed
 We must then find the speed of both objects:
 blue puck
 v = root ((0) ^ 2 + (- 3) ^ 2) = 3
 gold puck
 v = root ((12) ^ 2 + (- 5) ^ 2) = 13
 Then, the kinetic energy of the system will be:
 K = (1/2) * m1 * v1 ^ 2 + (1/2) * m2 * v2 ^ 2
 K = (1/2) * (4) * (3 ^ 2) + (1/2) * (6) * (13 ^ 2)

 The kinetic energy of the system is<span> <span>525 </span></span>J

solmaris [256]

Answer: the correct answer is 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule

Explanation:

Use Energy Conservation. By ``alpha decay converts'', we mean that the parent particle turns into an alpha particle and daughter particles. Adding the mass of the alpha and daughter radon, we get

m = 4.00260 u + 222.01757 u = 226.02017 u .

The parent had a mass of 226.02540 u, so clearly some mass has gone somewhere. The amount of the missing mass is

Delta m = 226.02540 u - 226.02017 u = 0.00523 u ,

which is equivalent to an energy change of

Delta E = (0.00523 u)*(931.5MeV/1u)

Delta E = 4.87 MeV

Converting  4.87 MeV to Joules

1 joule [J] = 6241506363094 mega-electrón voltio [MeV]

4 mega-electrón voltio = 6.40870932 x 10^(-13) joule

4.87 mega-electrón voltio = 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule

A spring stretches 0.220 m when a 0.400 kg-mass is hung from it. What is its spring constant? (Mass is not a force )
Fantom [35]
We want to know the amount of force that stretches the spring 0.22 m.
That force is the WEIGHT of the mass hung from it.
The weight of the mass is (mass) times (gravity).
To do that calculation, we need to know the value of gravity, but
gravity has different values on every planet.  I shall assume that
this whole springy question is taking place on Earth, so that the
value of gravity is 9.8 m/s² .

The weight of the mass is (0.4 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 3.92 Newtons.

The spring constant is

(force/length of the stretch)

= (3.92 Newtons) / (0.22 meters)

= (3.92 / 0.22) Newtons/meter

= 17.82 N/m .

The question for this problem would be the minimum headphone delay, in ms, that will cancel this noise.
The 200 Hz. period = (1/200) = 0.005 sec. It will need to be delayed by 1/2, so 0.005/2, that is = 0.0025 sec. So converting sec to ms, will give us the delay of:Delay = 2.5 ms.
