A skateboarder with a total mass of 70 kg starts from rest at the top of a ramp and accelerates down it. The ramp is 25 m long and is at an angle of 200 to the horizontal. The skateboarder has a velocity of 12.2 m s–1 at the bottom of the ramp. (i) Calculate the average acceleration of the skateboarder on the ramp. (ii) Calculate the component of the skateboarder’s weight that is parallel to the ramp. using one of the equations of motion i can get the acceleration to be 2.98 ms-2 but i,m having trouble with the second part , i know that the vertical component (his weight due to gravity) is (70)(9.8) = 686N. can i use trigonometry or something to get the t…

This isn't really homework, but it being basic math I thought Id post here. I have the following problem: say I have two points in a 3d space A & B and want to find a Point C that is on a line between A & B but has a specific length. The coordinates of A & B are given (x,y and z respectively). My brain handles trig fine in 2d, but for some reason I am making some sort of mistake in 3d. thanks a bundle, Mark

Say there is 4 people sharing a house that should pay 25% each of the outgoings. The method I used is as follows for use in a spread sheet. To calculate who owes what and to whom? You can update the spread sheet by adding more expenses also for the pay period Person 1 pays rent $270.00 / fortnight and same person pays $140.00 for Electricity. Person 2 buys food $400.00 / fortnight Person 3 buys food $400.00 / fortnight Person 4 buys some food $100 /fortnight Total Group spend = 1310 In order to calculate the difference percentage in money you take each persons spending and divide by the Total Spent Person 1 = 0.31 eg 31% Person 2 = 0.305 Pe…

Hello, I'm having a bit of difficulty calculating this limit. [latex]\lim_{x\to+\infty }\frac{1}{\; \sqrt{x+1}-\sqrt{x+7}\; }[/latex] [latex]\lim_{x\to+\infty }\frac{1}{\; \sqrt{+\infty +1}-\sqrt{+\infty +7}\; }[/latex] [latex]\lim_{x\to+\infty }\frac{1}{\; \sqrt{+\infty}-\sqrt{+\infty}\; }[/latex] [latex]\lim_{x\to+\infty }\frac{1}{\;+\infty-\infty \; }[/latex] Well this is where I'm stuck. Naturally the square root of infinity will always remain infinity however it results in an indeterminate form since positive infinity cannot be summed with negative infinity. According to my text book the answer should be [latex]-\infty[/latex] but I have no i…

Tooth enamel contains a compound with the formula Ca10(PO4)6(OH2). Why can a child's teeth be damaged over time if the child is put to bed with a bottle of milk? (HINT: Milk can break down over time to produce lactic acid. I was thinking the solution would be like this : Acid + Base = Water + Salt Acid (Lactic acid) : C3H6O3 Base (Tooth enamel compound) C3H6O3 + Ca10(PO4)6(OH2) ----> H2O + ???????? Thanks for your help, I appreciate it!

Hi,I got this question for a homework: There is an uniform pole with length L, the temperature distribution on this pole has the form T = T1 +(l/L)(T2 − T1) (l is a small L) initially, where T1 and T2 are the temperature at the end 1 and end 2 of the pole, l is the distance between the point on the pole and end 1. Find the entropy change of the pole after it arrives at thermodynamic equilibrium. Assume the heat capacity of the pole at constant pressure is Cp. My solution: dS=(ds/dt)pdT+(ds/dp)TdP (dS/dT)p=Cp/T, a=(alpha) aV=(1/V)*(dV/dT)p So then we have: dS=(Cp/T)dT because fo the constant pressure: Thus: S=integral from T1 to T2 (Cp/T)dT = Cp*ln(T2/T1) T…

Convert the following differential equation into separable form by using suitable substitution: yy’=x3+(y2/x) When I try to prove it’s being homogeneous or not, I found that yy’=x3+ y’= (lx)4+(ly)2/ (lx)(ly) Factorise it: (l^2x2)+(y^2) / xy Is this considered homogeneous? the l stands for lambda

I am trying to understand the difference b/w tight junctions and desmosomes and have yet to find a major physiological one as they are both used for anchoring cells and both are impermeable. Then if they have nearly identical functions then why can't we have desmosomes in GI tract rather than tight junctions or tight junctions in skin rather than desmosomes in the epidermal layer connecting squamous epithelial cells?

A solution with pH 10 is changed to pH 7. How much stronger or weaker has the solution become? How many more/fewer hydrogen ions are there? I was thinking because each step of the pH scale is 10x stronger/weaker, because pH 9 is 1 step (10x), pH 8 is 2 steps (100x), pH 7 is 3 steps (1000x), the solution has become weaker by 1000x. For the hydrogen ions, I was thinking the same thing applies, am I correct for thinking like this?

.567L of .600M Hydrochloric acid (HCL) reacts with 5.00g of zinc metal. The gaseous product of this reaction is collected over water at 26 degrees C and 100.5 kPa. How many liters of dry gas would be collected at STP conditions? This is a challenge problem from my Honors Chemistry class, and it's been very difficult for me to solve. I'm new to this site, so i don't know how this works. But a good step by step explanation would be perfect! Thanks!

Hello everyone, I am having some trouble with a homework question for my immunolgy class. The question is " It has been demonstrated that mice with a mutation in Toll-like Receptor 4 (TLR4) that differed from the normal TLR4 by a single amino acid were resistant to septic shock caused by fatal doses of gram-negative bacteria. Would this mutation be beneficial or detrimental to the individual with the mutation? Explain." To me it seems that it would be beneficial because septic shock can kill. However, this seems too obvious and our professor never assigns questions that seem this obvious so im hesitant about the answer. Can anyone help me?

if x2+y2+2gx + 2fy +c =0 is on the x-axis, prove that g2 = c. I know that on the x-axis, y=0. x2 + (0)2 +2gx + 2f(0) +c =0 x2 + 2gx +c= 0 (which is a quadratic) but now i'm stuck. solving the quadratic with the quadratic equation formula doesn't help, so what should i do?

Hi! My AP Chem teacher assigned me a set of problems, and this problem in particular is giving me problems. I'm not asking anyone here to completely solve the problem, I know the rule about that. If at all possible, can someone tell me how to start it off? Thanks! Consider the reaction 3A + B + C ---> D + E Where the rate law is defined as An experiment is carried out where 0 = [C]0 = 1.00M and [A]0 = 1.00 X 10-4M. If after 3.00 min, [A] = 3.26 X 10-5M, calculate the value of k.

I know how to find A inverse. And I know ACA=AB. But how do I go through solving this? I figured it had something to do with the inverse of A. But matrix multiplication isn't the same as normal multiplication. Will something like (Inverse of A)ACA=(Inverse of A)B Since (Inverse of A)A=The identity Matrix CA=B Then CA(Inverse of A)=B(Inverse of A) C=B(Inverse of A) I'm pretty sure all of this is wrong, but even if it isn't, I'm stuck here. How can I solve this and similar questions?

I have a question about calculating limits with absolute values. I don't want the solution. Say for example sign of x2 - 1 ___x|_-∞_____-1__+__1______________+∞ x2 -1|_____+___0__-__ 0________+________ sign of x2 + 2x - 3 _______x |_-∞_______-3____ 1_______+∞ x2 + 2x -3 |_____+_____0__-__0___+___ Now my question is how you handle absolutes for example in this case: |x2 - 1| = x2 - 1 or -(x2 - 1) [explain why] |x2 + 2x - 3| = x2 + 2x - 3 or -(x2 + 2x - 3) [explain why] in this case: |x2 - 1| = x2 - 1 or -(x2 - 1) [explain why] |x2 + 2x - 3| = x2 + 2x - 3 or -(x2 + 2x - 3) [explain why] Than…

I have a powerpoint that must be done that is on the Tongass National Forest in Alaska. The problem is that I don't know how to get the biomass from there. My teacher made it a requirement, and although there is literally NO information that could be found on the Tongass National Forest he still makes us find it. Keep in mind that everyone has a different ecosystem, so it's pretty hard to find a specific biomass for each ecosystem. Anyways, I've already gone through most credible sites about Tongass but nothing showed up, even in the library. What i'm thinking of doing is some bullsh*ting. How I'll do this is by finding an approximate biomass, but the problem is that I d…

Homework Question: When maternal oxygen is transferred to the fetus and fetal CO2 is passed back, how does this affect the maternal dissociation curve? Does this shift increase the transfer of oxygen to the fetus? --------------------------- My thinking is that the O2 transfer to the fetus will obviously reduce maternal oxygen binding and plasma O2 partial pressure, while CO2 transfer from the fetus will raise maternal CO2 partial pressure. I don't see why the O2 association/disassociation curve itself will change. Also, regarding the second question: obviously O2 transfer is O2 transfer so it will obviously affect it. Will CO2 transfer affect O2 transfer? Will …

An uncoupler is a chemical destroys the proton gradient by poking a hole in the membrane and so the protons from the inter membrane space leak back into the matrix. As a result, you should have less protons going into ATP synthase and thus less ATP. Is this correct logic and conclusion?
