<u><em>Diffusion:
</em></u><em> in diffusion particles move from area of higher concentration to the area of lower concentration..
</em><u><em>causes:
</em></u><em>the movement of particles allow them ti disperse,,, when molecules are close to each other they collide with each other and push each other apart so they spread in the whole area... :)</em><u><em>

Given Information:
Diameter of spherical cell = 0.040 mm
thickness = L = 9 nm
Resistivity = ρ = 3.6×10⁷ Ω⋅m
Dielectric constant = k = 9.0
Required Information:
time constant = τ = ?
Answer:
time constant = 2.87×10⁻³ seconds
Explanation:
The time constant is given by
τ = RC
Where R is the resistance and C is the capacitance.
We know that resistivity of of any material is given by
ρ = RA/L
R = ρL/A
Where area of spherical cell is given by
A = 4πr²
A = 4π(d/2)²
A = 4π(0.040×10⁻³/2)²
A = 5.026×10⁻⁹ m²
The resistance becomes
R = (3.6×10⁷*9×10⁻⁹)/5.026×10⁻⁹
R = 6.45×10⁷ Ω
The capacitance of the cell membrane is given by
C = kεoA/L
Where k = 9 is the dielectric constant and εo = 8.854×10⁻¹² F/m
C = (9*8.854×10⁻¹²*5.026×10⁻⁹)/9×10⁻⁹
C = 44.5 pF
C = 44.5×10⁻¹² F
Therefore, the time constant is
τ = RC
τ = 6.45×10⁷*44.5×10⁻¹²
τ = 2.87×10⁻³ seconds
Conservation of momentum: total momentum before = total momentum after
Momentum = mass x velocity
So before the collision:
4kg x 8m/s = 32
1kg x 0m/s = 0
32+0=32
Therefore after the collision
4kg x 4.8m/s = 19.2
1kg x βm/s = β
19.2 + β = 32
Therefore β = 12.8 m/s
Well you have to think of it like electricity go through your answer closes to that and figure it out
Electricity is always going to take the path of least resistance to ground. The rubber in your shoes is not a conductor of electricity, therefore you are not completing the circuit and you don't get shocked. Your bare feet, on the other hand ARE conductors of electricity, so when you hold the wire, you complete the circuit and become the path of least resistance to ground... ZAP!
