Work and Energy. 1. What is the work done by a force of 20 N acting through a parallel distance of 8.0 m? What force will do the same work through a distance of 4.0 m? [160 J‚ 40 N] 2. A push of 120 N is applied along the handle of a lawn mower producing a horizontal displacement of 14.0 m. If the handle makes an angle of 30.0o with the ground‚ what work was done by the 120 N force? [1.45×103 J] 3. A rope making an angle of 35.0o drags a 10.0 kg toolbox a horizontal distance of 20

On the first day of class‚ we had a wonderful guest speaker who came from Japan to speak with us on different aspects pertaining to Indians living in Japan. Yuka Mizutani discussed how many Indians lived in Japan‚ but the Japanese government only wants the world to see them as only having Japanese people. As a result of this‚ the Indians had to blend in with the normal Japanese people and they were not allowed to have their own cultural identity. They were forced to speak and write Japanese to make

Simple diffusion The term simple diffusion refers to a process whereby a substance passes through a membrane without the aid of an intermediary such as a integral membrane protein. The force that drives the substance from one side of the membrane to the other is the force of diffusion. In order for substances to pass through a cell membrane by simple diffusion it must penetrate the hydrophobic core of the phospholipid bilayer. The types of molecules that can do this are themselves substantially

Discussion: 1. Peter was preparing some potatoes for cooking. He put some water in a pot and added some salt. He cut up the potatoes and put them in the salt solution. Then the telephone rang and he spent 30 minutes talking to George. When he returned to put the potatoes on the stove they were flaccid (soft). Explain what happened to the potatoes. The concentration of free-moving water molecules is higher in potato cells‚ the cytoplasm of the cell is hypertonic. The water molecule will flow from
