Some oil tankers can carry as much as 4 million barrels of oil. if an accident occurred and one of these tankers emptied all of the oil into the ocean, how much area would the resulting slick cover, if we assume the slick is one molecule thick? assume a molecule of oil is a cube that measures 50 micrometers across and a barrel of oil contains approximately 160 liters.

Cells in the nervous system have a potential difference of 70 mv across the cell membrane separating the interior of the cell from the extracellular fluid. this potential difference is maintained by ion pumps that move charged ions across the membrane. is this an emf? select the correct answer and explanation. 1)no. the ion pumps cannot separate charges; thus, they cannot create a potential difference. 2)yes. the ion pumps cannot separate charges, but they still can create a potential difference. 3)yes. the ion pumps can actively separate charge; thus, they can create a potential difference. 4)no. the ion pumps can separate charges, but they cannot create a potential difference.

Which statement is an example of the law of conservation of energy? a soccer ball eventually stops because its energy disappears. when a light bulb is turned on, electrical energy is converted to light and heat. an automobile engine burns gasoline to converts its chemical energy to electrical energy.

Onsider a u-tube whose arms are open to the atmosphere. now, equal volumes of water (ρ = 62.4 lbm/ft3) and light oil (ρ = 49.3 lbm/ft3) are poured from different arms. a person blows from the oil side of the u-tube until the contact surface of the two fluids moves to the bottom of the u-tube, and thus the liquid levels in the two arms are the same. if the fluid height in each arm is 31 in, determine the gage pressure the person exerts on the oil by blowing. (round the final answer to three decimal places.)
