    Poiseulle's law

    Hi; Could someone please help me with this question: "Suppose you have measured the flow rate for a number of tubes with different lengths but the same radius, how would you graph your data to test Poiseulle's law (Hint: choose the scales of the axes so that the theoretical graph is a straight...

    Law of reflection and refraction

    Hi; I was wondering if someone could please help me with this question: "When you measure the law of reflection and the law of refraction, what is the advantage of making 2 measurements: one clockwise from the normal and one counterclockwise from the normal?" Could an advantage be that this is...

    Bohr model of atom

    Ok, so I find the energy change by doing E of upper state - energy of lower state right? So I get (-0.2) - (-0.5) = 0.3 After I find this energy change, how do i find the decrease in mass? If I use E=mc^2, I plug in 0.3 into E and 1.00794 into m? What am I solving for? I'm confused. Thanks...

    Bohr model of atom

    I guess so. That's what confuses me about the question. I don't know how to incorporate the mass into it. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

    Waves- Interference/Double-slit experiment

    Hi; Could someone please help me with the following question: In a double-slit experiment it is found that blue light of wavelength 460 nm gives a second-order maximum at a certain location on the screen. What wavelength of visible light would have a minimum at the same location? Can i use the...

    Mirror question

    Hi; Could someone please help me with the following question: The image of a distant tree is virtual and very small when viewed in a curved mirror. The image appears to be 18.8 cm behind the mirror. What is its radius of curvature? (Use positive for concave and negative for convex). Would I...

    Nerve conduction question

    I'm not sure about the resitivity, but would this help: That the concentration of Na+ inside axon is 15 mol/m^3 and the concentration of Na+ ouside axon is 140 mol/m^3. And the area of a cylinder (like the axon) is 2(pi)(r)(L).

    Nerve conduction question

    Um I'm thinking that I will have to use this equation: R= resitivity*L/A, and therefore I need that 12 cm to use as my length and the diameter to use as my area. I'm guessing I can use this equation to solve for R, but than how do I use the rate? That is what confuses me. Thanks.

    Nerve conduction question

    The axon... Hi; The axon is sort of like a tube, because impulses travel through the cell by coming in from small tube like appendages called dendrites, into the cell body, and than travel out via the axon...which is like a long tail. Signals are received by the dendrites and are propagated...

    Nerve conduction question

    Hi; Could somebody please help me with the following question: During the action potential, Na+ ions move into the cell at a rate of 3.03E-7 mol/m^2*s. How much power must be produced by the "active Na+ pumping" system to produce this flow agaisnt a +33.9 mV potential difference? Assume that...

    Physics Question

    Hi; Could somebody please help me with this question: A 3.0g copper penny has a postive charge of 38uC. What fraction of its electrons has it lost? The method I tried was: (3g/63.55g) x 6.02E23 x A(what I'm solving for) = 38xE-6. Than I took my answer and divided it by 29. However this will...
