The efficiency of the first Carnot engine is 
n1 = 1 - Th/T
The efficiency of the second Carnot engine is
n2 = 1 - T/Tc
The total efficiency of the engines put in series is
n = 1 - Th/Tc

jekas [21]

The question is incomplete, the concentration of qam and humulin is not given unless R is used concentration

Complete question:

A physician orders Humulin 50/50 44 units and Humulin N 40 units qam and Humulin R 35 units ac evening meal subcutaneously. How many total units of insulin are administered each morning?

Answer:

the total units of insulin admistered each morning

= 22 units of qam and humulin

Explanation:

given

44 units and Humnlin N

with concentration 50/100 = 1/2 = 0.5

∴ 44 × 0.5 ≈ 22 units in the morning

regular insulin administered each day

(22 + 35)units of qam and humulin

= 57units

Optical tweezers use light from a laser to move single atoms and molecules around. Suppose the intensity of light from the tweez
Zanzabum

(a)  3.3\cdot 10^{-6} Pa

The radiation pressure exerted by an electromagnetic wave on a surface that totally absorbs the radiation is given by

p=\frac{I}{c}

where

I is the intensity of the wave

c is the speed of light

In this problem,

I=1000 W/m^2

and substituting c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s, we find the radiation pressure

p=\frac{1000 W/m^2}{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}=3.3\cdot 10^{-6}Pa

(b) 4.4\cdot 10^{-8} m/s^2

Since we know the cross-sectional area of the laser beam:

A=6.65\cdot 10^{-29}m^2

starting from the radiation pressure found at point (a), we can calculate the force exerted on a tritium atom:

F=pa=(3.3\cdot 10^{-6}Pa)(6.65\cdot 10^{-29} m^2)=2.2\cdot 10^{-34}N

And then, since we know the mass of the atom

m=5.01\cdot 10^{-27}kg

we can find the acceleration, by using Newton's second law:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{2.2\cdot 10^{-34} N}{5.01\cdot 10^{-27} kg}=4.4\cdot 10^{-8} m/s^2
