<h2>Snow starts to move down the mountain </h2>

The energy which is due to position is potential energy. So when the snow is lying on the mountain. It possess potential energy but when suddenly, it starts to move down the mountain, the potential energy is converted into the kinetic energy. Yet some force is exerting on the snow to stop the smooth flow of snow through mountains.

This example of frictional force may be due to presence of rough surface or stones. Generally, there are four types of friction as static, rolling, sliding and fluid friction. Though in this case when snow is lying it possess static friction, when flows then it possesses sliding and fluid friction both.

jeyben [28]

Answer:

for this problem, 2.5 = (5+2/2)-(5-2/2)erf (50×10-6m/2Dt)

It now becomes necessary to compute the diffusion coefficient at 750°C (1023 K) given that D0= 8.5 ×10-5m2/s and Qd= 202,100 J/mol.

we have D= D0exp( -Qd/RT)

=(8.5×105m2/s)exp(-202,100/8.31×1023)

= 4.03 ×10-15m2/s

A biophysics experiment uses a very sensitive magnetic field probe to determine the current associated with a nerve impulse trav
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The peak current carried by the axon is 5.85 x 10⁻⁸ A

Explanation:

Given;

distance of the field from the axon, r = 1.3 mm

peak magnetic field strength, B = 9 x 10⁻¹² T

To determine the peak current carried by the axon, apply the following equation;

B = \frac{\mu I}{2\pi r}

where;

B is the peak magnetic field

r is the distance of the magnetic field from axon

μ is permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷

I is the peak current

Re-arrange the equation and solve for "I"

B = \frac{\mu I}{2\pi r} \\\\I = \frac{B*2\pi r}{\mu} \\\\I = \frac{9*10^{-12}*2*\pi *1.3*10^{-3}}{4\pi *10^{-7}} \\\\I = 5.85 *10^{-8} \ A

Therefore, the peak current carried by the axon is 5.85 x 10⁻⁸ A

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: 8.1 x 10^24

Explanation:

I(t) = (0.6 A) e^(-t/6 hr)

I'll leave out units for neatness: I(t) = 0.6e^(-t/6)

If t is in seconds then since 1hr = 3600s: I(t) = 0.6e^(-t/(6 x 3600) ).

For neatness let k = 1/(6x3600) = 4.63x10^-5, then:

I(t) = 0.6e^(-kt)

Providing t is in seconds, total charge Q in coulombs is

Q= ∫ I(t).dt evaluated from t=0 to t=∞.

Q = ∫(0.6e^(-kt)

= (0.6/-k)e^(-kt) evaluated from t=0 to t=∞.

= -(0.6/k)[e^-∞ - e^-0]

= -0.6/k[0 - 1]

= 0.6/k

= 0.6/(4.63x10^-5)

= 12958 C

Since the magnitude of the charge on an electron = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C, the number of electrons is 12958/(1.6x10^-19) = 8.1x10^24 to two significant figures.

Adam is teeing off on hole number two. The hole is 390 yards away. It is a par four hole. What club should he use to tee off? Ex
kkurt [141]

Answer:

A driver.

Explanation:

Using a driver while at least 350 yds away is better than using a iron, because it will be a waste of the par 4 as it is not as powerful as the driver.

What is the formula that can be used to find velocity if kinetic energy and mass are known?
viva [34]
The formula for kinetic energy is \frac{1}{2}m\Delta v^2. Thus, the equation for velocity is v=   \sqrt{ \frac{2TotalKineticEnergy}{m} }.
