A cell membrane consists of an inner and outer wall separated by a distance of approximately 10nm. Assume that the walls act like a parallel plate capacitor, each with a charge density of 10?5C/m2, and the outer wall is positively charged. Although unrealistic, assume that the space between cell walls is filled with air.
PART A. What is the magnitude of the electric field between the membranes?
1×106N/C
1×10?15N/C
5×10?5N/C
9×10?2N/C
PART B. What is the magnitude of the force on a K+ ion between the cell walls?
2×10?13N
9×10?13N
2×10?11N
3×10?12N
PART C. What is the potential difference between the cell walls?
6×10?3V
1×107V
10V
1×10?2V
PART D. What is the direction of the electric field between the walls?
There is no electric field.
Toward the inner wall.
Parallel to the walls.
Toward the outer wall.
PART E. If released from the inner wall, what would be the kinetic energy of a 3fC charge at the outer wall? 1fC=10?15C.

At a certain instant after jumping from the airplane a, a skydiver b is in the position shown and has reached a terminal (constant) speed vb = 52 m/s. the airplane has the same constant speed va = 52 m/s, and after a period of level flight is just beginning to follow the circular path shown of radius ρa = 2330 m. (a) determine the velocity and acceleration of the airplane relative to the skydiver. (b) determine the time rate of change of the speed vr of the airplane and the radius of curvature ρr of its path, both as observed by the nonrotating skydiver.
