Viruses are much smaller than bacteria. For example, the novel coronavirus is a spherical particle of outer diameter 110 nm, while streptococcus bacteria are 1.6 ?μm in diameter. The virus is also found to be slightly more dense than the bacteria, with the density of coronavirus being 1.15 kg/L and that of strep being 1.1 kg/L. During an infection, both are found in the bloodstream (blood density is 1.05 kg/L; blood viscosity is 3.5××10−3−3 Pa⋅⋅s). (a) A sample of blood...

Droplets of two different dyes, ? and ?, are placed far apart in a container of some liquid. The dyes diffuse through the liquid (we can assume the diffusion is three-dimensional). The diffusion coefficient of dye ? is 4 times larger than the diffusion coefficient of dye ?. After both dyes are allowed to diffuse for an equal amount of time, how do the volumes of the liquid medium filled by each of the dyes, ?? and ?? respectively, compare?...

A bacteriophage is a virus that infects bacteria. In an experiment, if too few bacteriophages are used for the infection, it may be difficult to detect or measure the response being tested. Therefore, it is important to determine the multiplicity of infection (MOI). The MOI is the ratio between the number of bacteriophages and the number of bacteria (number of bacteriophages/ number of bacteria). 1) A 0.1 ml aliquot of a bacteriophage stock with a concentration of 4 x 109...

PLEASE ANSWER ALL PARTS WITH APPROPRIATE FORMULAS (EXPLAIN FULLY) 1.) Two equal highly dense spherical masses M = 450 kg are positioned on the y axis (so x=0) at points given by y = -1.20 m and y = +1.20 m. A third small spherical mass m = 100 kg is located on the x axis at x = 0.880 m. Find the net gravitational force on the smaller mass m caused by the other two masses. 2.) The planet...

Consider two widely separated conducting spheres, 1 and 2, the second having three times the diameter of the first. The smaller sphere initially has a positive charge q = 5.00×10-6 C, and the larger one is initially uncharged. You now connect the spheres with a long thin wire. How are the final potentials V1 and V2 of the spheres related? Find the final charges q1 and q2. What is the ratio of the final surface charge density of sphere 1...

Two substances, A and B, which are of equal mass but at different temperature, come into thermal contact. The specific heat capacity of substance A is twice the specific heat capacity of substance B. What is the final temperature of both substances when they reach thermal equilibrium? (Assume no other heat loss other than the thermal transfer between the substances.)
