Calculate approximately the total translational kinetic energy of all the molecules in E. coli bacterium of mass 2.0 x 10-15kg at 37°C. Assume 70 percent of the cell, by weight, is water (molecular mass of 18.01528g/mol), and the other molecules have an average molec- ular mass on the order of 10°u.

Show all working explaining detailly each step. Imagine you were provided with: a thermistor (black component), an LDR (somewhat whitish), a standard resistor RA(10Ω - 100Ω), a milliammeter, a crocodile clips fixed to connecting wires, a switch , a 1.5V cell with connecting leads attached to it or two small cells with a battery holder, sand paper. Make a series circuit comprising an open switch, a power supply, a milliammeter and one of the two - electrode components. Close the switch and hold the component tightly between your thumb and your forefinger so that little or nothing of it is visible. Open the switch and repeat the above procedure using the second component. Hence deduce the name of each component Give a brief outline of your procedure, Observation/results, Calculations, Inference, Conclusion, highlighting any precautions you have taken to improve on the accuracy of your results. Explain why when you enclosed the components completely between your thumb and forefinger, the…
Need help typed answer only In a system of two solids A and B, solid A contains 10 oscillators and solid B contains 8 oscillators. They share 30 units of energy between them. If the two solids are in thermodynamic equilibrium, determine the probability of finding half the energy in solid A.
I'm trying to understand these lab notes. We heated a flask full of air in a lab experiment. *Did the mass of the flask and the air inside change? (i.e. is there a difference between M1 and M3)? Explain this result given Mass of flask with air: M1 = 318.73g Mass of heated flask with air: M3= 318.60g *What would you expect if you compared the evacuated flask, Mass of flask without air: M2= 317.64g, at the two different temperatures?
Please answer and explain to these in not less than 3 sentences. Thank you! 1. How can a sheet of copper be made to emit electrons thermionically? 2. Why do electrons cross the gap in a vacuum tube? 3. Besides tungsten, what other materials are used for cathodes in vacuum tubes? 4. What is the advantage of directly heated cathodes?
I am confused with part (e). I don't understand the steps. How is 1.427 obtained? How is the 20t moved to the left side of the equation, since it is inside the COS() function? I am just not understanding the math. Can you step it through with an explanation at each individual step?
