The average mass of an automobile in the United States is about 1.440x10^6 g express this mass in kilograms

-BARSIC- [3]

From the problem statement, this is a conversion problem. We are asked to convert from units of grams to units of kilograms. To do this, we need a conversion factor which would relate the different units involved. We either multiply or divide this certain value to the original measurement depending on what is asked. From literature, we will find that 1000 grams is equal to 1 kilogram. We use this as follows:

 1.440x10^6 g ( 1 kg / 1000 g ) = 1440 kg

Imagine a small child whose legs are half as long as her parent’s legs. If her parent can walk at maximum speed V, at what maxim

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

$\boxed{v=\frac {V}{\sqrt {2}}}$

Explanation:

We know that speed is given by dividing distance by time or multiplying length and frequency. The speed of the father will be given by Lf where L is the length of the father’s leg ad f is the frequency.

We know that frequency of simple pendulum follows that $f=\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}}$

Now, the speed of the father will be $V=Lf= L\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}})$ while for the child the speed will be $v=\frac {L}{2}\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{0.5l}})$

The ratio of the father’s speed to the child’s speed will be

$\frac {V}{v}=\frac {\frac {L}{2}\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{0.5l}})}{ L\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}})}\\\frac {V}{v}=\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}\\\boxed{v=\frac {V}{\sqrt {2}}}$

A na+ ion moves from inside a cell, where the electric potential is -72 mv, to outside the cell, where the potential is 0 v. wha

Vlada [557]

The change in electric potential energy of the ion is equal to the charge multiplied by the voltage difference:
$\Delta U = q \Delta V = q (V_f - V_i)$
where the charge q of the na+ ion is equal to one positive charge, so it's equal to the proton charge: $q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C$ , and Vf and Vi are the final and initial voltages.

Substituting the numbers, we find:
$\Delta U = (1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(0 V-(-0.072 V))=1.15 \cdot 10^{-20} J$
