What is the effect of a decrease in the partial pressure gradient on the diffusion rate of a gas?

In other words, will the diffusion rate of gas increase or decrease?What is the effect of a decrease in the partial pressure gradient on the diffusion rate of a gas?
Think of the gradient like a hill. It's not the height of the hill, it's the slope. The bigger the difference in pressure, the faster it will diffuse at first. The rate will slow down as the pressures equilibrate. So if thetwo sides are at 10 atm vs 2 atm, it will go faster at first than 3 atm and 2.8 atm if I remember correctly, and I think I do.What is the effect of a decrease in the partial pressure gradient on the diffusion rate of a gas?
Not sure it makes any difference. Did you just fart?

How do you find a gradient on a contour map?

I need the most simplest chewed out answer if possible. On my map I am given the difference in elevation, and I can estimate the horizontal difference between two points. How do I calculate this in simplest form? Thank youHow do you find a gradient on a contour map?
Rise over run





Divide the difference in height by difference in horizontal displacement





This will give you the ratio, anyway.

  • Knowing that the gradient in a stress strain graph is equal to the modulus of elasticity?

    which can also be termed as Young's Modulus but how could I define this term?Knowing that the gradient in a stress strain graph is equal to the modulus of elasticity?
    The usual definition of Young's modulus is stress/strain, where





    stress= force/unit area, and





    strain = extension/original length.





    If the stress-strain graph is linear, (Hook's Law obeyed, elastic deformation) this definition is the same thing as the slope of the graphKnowing that the gradient in a stress strain graph is equal to the modulus of elasticity?
    You could define it as the slope of the linear portion of the graph. That is, in fact, what it is defined as.





    Its physical meaning is the material's resistance to changing in length when a uniaxial stress is applied.
    the worded definition will be the same as for stiffness -- a material which is resistant to change in shape and form. it is indeed the young modulus. the mathematical definition would be YM= stress/strain

    How does selective permeability enable a membrane to establish and maintain a concentration gradient?

    Concentration gradient is a different in concentration between two areas





    If the membrane allowed anything and everything to pass through, and since particles diffuse to have an equilibrium, the concentration inside the cell would eventually be the same as the concentration outside the cell


    Since there is no difference, there is no gradient





    If the membrane is selectively permeable, it can actively transport things, or only allow certain things to diffuse to a certain extent


    It monitors what enters and exits the cell, ensuring the cell is not the same as the environment


    Since there is a difference, there is a gradient

    How do you calculate the resistance of a component by finding the gradient of the line of best fit?

    This question is for Physics. The voltage is on the y axis and the current is on the x axis. Which method do you think gives more accurate result? Finding the gradient or calculating the resistance of a component by using one set of readings, e.g current 0.48 and voltage is 5 How do you calculate the resistance of a component by finding the gradient of the line of best fit?
    resistance = voltage divided by current calculation is bestHow do you calculate the resistance of a component by finding the gradient of the line of best fit?
    The component may not have uniform linear resistance-voltage or resistance-current relationship.





    For example, a wire with a current flowing through it may have one resistance, but if you increase the current, you may induce a temperature rise in the wire, thus the resistance increases.





    I would use the line of best fit, unless your results have an obvious trend, but be aware of the above!
    If you were just using 1 reading why would you have a graph. Use the line of best fit and get the gradient.



    V=IR





    Therefore R=V/I which is also the gradient of your graph (y over x)

    How to find coordinates from the gradient?

    I know how to do the differentiation but I don't know what to do next.





    Eg.





    Given the curve y= x^3 - 3x^2 - 9x + 11, find dy/dx. Hence obtain


    a) the x-coordinates of the points where the gradient is 15.


    b) the coordinates of the points where the gradient is zero.How to find coordinates from the gradient?
    dy/dx = 3x^2 - 6x - 9





    a) Gradient = 15 ==%26gt; dy/dx = 15. And, we have :


    3x^2 - 6x - 9 = 15


    3x^2 - 6x - 24 = 0


    x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0


    (x-4)(x+2) = 0


    x=4 or x=-2


    Hence, the x-coordinates of the points where the gradient is 15 are


    x=4 and x=-2 (answer)





    b) Gradient = 0 ==%26gt; dy/dx = 0


    we have 3x^2 - 6x - 9 = 0


    x^2 - 2x - 3 = 0


    (x-3)(x+1) = 0


    x=3 or x=-1


    when x=3, y = (3)^3 - 3(3)^2 - 9(3) + 11 = -16


    when x=-1, y = (-1)^3 - 3(-1)^2 - 9(-1) + 11 = 16


    Hence, the coordinates of the points where gradient is zero are


    (3, -16) and (-1, 16) (answer)





    Note :


    Please take note that ';x-coordinates'; and ';coordinates'; are different, as follows :


    x-coordinates refers to the x-values


    and coordinates refers to both the x-value and y-value


    For example, let us refer to the point Q (2, 15).


    Then, the x-coordinate of Q is 2


    and, the coordinate of Q is (2, 15)How to find coordinates from the gradient?
    There is a wording problem here: I think the teacher is using ';gradient'; and ';derivative'; as if they are interchangeable, when in fact they are slightly different (the gradient is a vector quantity, which isn't relevant for a problem like this).





    Take the derivative, set it equal to the specified value, and solve for x. You may or may not need to use the quadratic formula. That's all!
    y= x^3 - 3x^2 - 9x + 11





    dy/dx = 3x^2 - 6x - 9





    15 = 3(x)^2 - 6x -9


    0 = 3(x)^2 - 6x - 24


    0 = x^2 -2x - 8


    0 = (x-4)(x+2) x= {-2, 4}


    slope is 15 at x= {-2, 4}





    0 = 3x^2 - 6x -9


    0 = x^2 - 2x -3


    0 = (x -3)(x+1) x = {-1,3}


    slope is 0 at x= {-2, 4}
    there is a problem there and it has to be sorted out

    What is mean by potential gradient , temperature gradient?

    It is said that that the potential gradient of air is 30KV/cm. what does it actually mean?What is mean by potential gradient , temperature gradient?
    That is amount of voltage drop in air per unit of distance, in this case a centimeter. It can different with different substances, for example oil has a much higher potential gradient and is used in some circuit breakers because of that.





    You can extrapolate that a temperature gradient is similar, but it's more complex but it is not constant, it is a function of the temperature you start with, not just the difference.

    Why can some animal cells transport materials against a concentration gradient?

    Why can some animal cells transport materials against a concentration gradient? Could animals survive without this capability? --- this is our research from our subject Zoology.Why can some animal cells transport materials against a concentration gradient?
    They have to use energy to do that--simple diffusion won't work AGAINST the concentration gradient, as you know. One such mechanism is active transport. If they didn't use methods to move materials where they need to, they'd be completely at the mercy of their environments. Not practical even for most single-celled organisms.

    Make a new layer with the gradient. Make sure the gradient layer is above your photo. Then take a very large brush, like 300 pixels large and start erasing the above gradient layer so that the photo shows through. Make the brush even larger if you need it to happen more gradually.How do you make a gradient overlay to PART of an image on photoshop?
    In your layers pallet, you have something called a gradient map. Make this a layer, and then pick a very soft brush, about 50% opacity and paint over the areas you do not want to be affected with BLACK.

    What is included in a cell's metabolism? What does it mean to move down a concentration gradient?

    2 other questions- What does it mean to move something against its concentration gradient? How does the cell membrane protect the cell?What is included in a cell's metabolism? What does it mean to move down a concentration gradient?
    ';Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that occur in living organisms in order to maintain life.';





    A concentration gradient is when there is a difference in the amount of a solute in one area compared to another. In moving down its gradient, a molecule would move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. An example is when you put sugar in your tea or coffee. When you first put it in, it is mostly located on the bottom of the cup. However, molecules dissolve in the hot liquid, and move throughout the cup, until after a while, the whole cup tastes sweet.





    In order to move something against a concentration gradient, it would have to move from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. It would not ordinarily do this naturally; in order to accomplish it, a cell must expend energy, usually in the form of ATP.





    The cell membrane is semi-permeable, meaning that some things can move through it, while others cannot. What can be moved through it is regulated by the membrane. It protects the cell by maintaining its high concentration of necessary nutrients, ions, etc., partially by diffusion (things moving naturally down their concentration gradient), partially by active transport (using ATP to move things against their concentration gradient.

    What is the difference between a protein channel and a concentration gradient?

    This is like comparing apples to oranges. A protein channel is a channel in the membrane of a cell, made of protein, that allows some solute to go through it. For example, you could have a sodium channel, and when open, sodium ions would flow through, but when closed, no sodium could move through. A concentration gradient means that there is more of the solute on one side of the membrane, than on the other, and if the membrane is permeable to this solute, then with time, the concentrations on each side will equalize via diffusion.

If so, look up info on nephrons of the kidney.

    Does a tight pressure gradient at the surface mean that winds aloft will be weak?

    Or can a tight pressure gradient at surface (which creates fast surface winds) still correspond to strong winds aloft?Does a tight pressure gradient at the surface mean that winds aloft will be weak?
    Tight pressure gradients always mean strong wind, on surface or aloft. As a rule of thumb, seafarers say that if the barometer falls 10 millibars in 8 hours, a gale wind will certainly come.





    Because of the drag induction of the surface, the wind aloft is always stronger. I know and experience that very often since I fly my own light aircraft. If the wind at the airfield is say, 10 knots, it wouldn't be surprising to experience 30 knots at only 2,000 feet of altitude.

    Given y = mx + c,

    remember that the gradient is rise / run


    which is the same as opposite / hypothenuse

    Gradiant of the line is nothing but its slope . Slope is the tangent of the angle which the line makes with the POSITIVE x-axis . So you need to fin the tan of the gradiant and that will be the angle which the line will makewith the axis of abcissa (x axis)


    For instance let the line be 2x + 2y =7


    Writing the expression in the form y=mx +c we get


    y=-x+7/2 . Comparing it with y=mx+c , we get m=-1 , which is nothing but its slope . So , let this line make an angle w with x axis


    So , tan(w) =-1 .


    So w= pie-pie/4

    How is the potassium ion gradient maintained in beta cells?

    The beta cells in the islets of langerhans maintain a potential difference gradient by potassium ions diffusing out of the cell. Where does the potassium in the cell come from and how is this diffusion gradient maintained?


    Thank YouHow is the potassium ion gradient maintained in beta cells?
    Insulin is the first-line defense against hyperkalemia. A rise in plasma K+ stimulates insulin release by the pancreatic beta cell. Insulin, in turn, enhances cellular potassium uptake, returning plasma K+ towards normal. The enhanced cellular uptake of K+ that results from increased insulin levels is thought to be largely due to the ability of insulin to stimulate activity of the sodium potassium ATPase located in cell plasma membranes. The insulin induced cellular uptake of potassium is not dependent on the uptake of glucose caused by insulin. Insulin deficiency allows a mild rise in plasma K+ chronically and makes the subject liabel to severe hyperkalemia if a potassium load is given. Conversely, potassium deficiency may cause decreased insulin release. Thus plasma potassium and insulin participate in a feedback control mechanism.

    gradient = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)


    This is the average gradient of a line





    A dericative is f'(x) of function f(x) (derive f(x)) gives you the instantanious rate of change :)

    How do i make a gradient on adobe photoshop cs?

    under a layer (not over it) without trying to cover the


    image with the gradient color picked.. im using adobe photoshop cs on via mac. thanks.How do i make a gradient on adobe photoshop cs?
    photoshop should be the same on either os, you would create a layer, select gradient tool, then select options for gradient, what im missing is that a gradient uses colors to go from one to another, or half transparent, but you say not to cover image, so is that to be the background, if so, you would put the image on top of gradient, but then you would not see gradient unless image was partly transparent, either way, transperency would be used,

    To check:





    (-3/2)(2/3) = -1If I have the gradient of a line, what do I do to find the gradient of the line perpendicular to it?
    The slope of a line perpendicular would be the negative reciprocal.

    -(-2/3)=2/3
    Yes, you can multiply the slope by -1 to get the slope of the perpendicular line, with two exceptions.





    If you have a line with slope 0, it is a horizontal line. The perpendicular line will be vertical and have a slope that is undefined.





    The other exception is a vertical line, which has an undefined slope. The perpendicular line will be horizontal and have a slope of 0.

    How is the potassium ion gradient maintained in beta cells?

    The beta cells in the islets of langerhans maintain a potential difference gradient by potassium ions diffusing out of the cell. Where does the potassium in the cell come from and how is this diffusion gradient maintained?


    Thank YouHow is the potassium ion gradient maintained in beta cells?
    Insulin is the first-line defense against hyperkalemia. A rise in plasma K+ stimulates insulin release by the pancreatic beta cell. Insulin, in turn, enhances cellular potassium uptake, returning plasma K+ towards normal. The enhanced cellular uptake of K+ that results from increased insulin levels is thought to be largely due to the ability of insulin to stimulate activity of the sodium potassium ATPase located in cell plasma membranes. The insulin induced cellular uptake of potassium is not dependent on the uptake of glucose caused by insulin. Insulin deficiency allows a mild rise in plasma K+ chronically and makes the subject liabel to severe hyperkalemia if a potassium load is given. Conversely, potassium deficiency may cause decreased insulin release. Thus plasma potassium and insulin participate in a feedback control mechanism.

    How to find the gradient of a section of a graph on excel?

    It may be just a bit easier if the chart type is Scatter than if it is Line so change the chart type if necessary (Right click in the chart and select Change Chart Type.)





    Arrange the data table and chart so that you can see both at the same time. If you would have any trouble reentering the data in the left column of the data table, copy and paste it somewhere that you can retrieve it from. You can leave the second column alone.





    Watching the chart to guide and confirm your actions, delete the contents of all cells in the left column that are NOT part of the second gradient section.





    With just the second gradient section of the line in the chart, right click on a data point and select Add Trendline. Select the Linear type and select Display Equation on Chart (in the Options tab for Excel 2003). Select Close (or OK) and return to the chart.





    The equation will be in the form of y = mx + b where m is the gradient. (If there is no value in front of the x then the gradient is 1. If there is no x in the equation then the gradient is 0.)








    Another approach would be to move all of the second column entries for the second section one column to the right and right click on the chart to select Select Data in include the new column in the chart. That way both sections are visible on the chart as separate lines. And you could continue this for as many sections as you want. The common point(s) between two sections would appear in both columns but only one marker would show. Using a chart type of Scatter with lines (Smooth or straight) should improve the chart appearance.

    Helpppp: How do the gradient and discharge change between a streams headwaters and mouth?

    My textbook is not helping much right now...... Helpppp: How do the gradient and discharge change between a streams headwaters and mouth?
    The discharge for a single stream should not change much from the headwater to the mouth. The exceptions to the ule would be if another stream joined the main stream, which would increase the discharge or if you loose a significant amount of water to infilitration, which would decrease the discharge. The gradient should be high at the headwaters and gradually decrease downstream where it should be low at the mouth. Of course differences in lithologies or sedcondary streams can change the gradient for a short distance, thought the overall profile should fit the expected model.

    How do I use photoshop to convert a png file to a grd file for gradient use?

    I am afraid there is not a direct way. However, you could re-create the gradient in under a minute by following these steps:





    1 - Open the png gradient file


    2 - Open the gradient editor.


    3 - select the first colour stop, and use the eye dropper to click on the first, far left, colour of the gradient.


    4) Select the last colour stop, and use the eye dropper to click on the far right colour of the gradient.


    5) depending on the complexity of the gradient, you will need to add extra colour stops to the gradient and select the respective colour in the png gradient. Edit the colour stops to re-create the gradient.


    6) repeat this process until done.





    Depending on the gradient, it will take you less than a minute upward to a couple of minutes to create the same effect in Photoshop's gradient editor. Save the gradients as a .grd file (make sure to get rid of the ones you do not wish to save in this file)





    *EDIT*


    Don't forget about the opacity stops: you may have to set the opacity for certain colour stops in the gradient editor to 100%. Or less, depending on the transparency effect you're after.

    How do I draw lines of minimum and maximun gradient?

    Also, if anyone knows: How do I determine the uncertainty in the best straight-line gradient.


    Thanks!How do I draw lines of minimum and maximun gradient?
    You can't, this is all on feeling. If you have to do this in exams you get a difference of like 1 unit between your dots.


    If an answer is really off the chart you just leave it out and call it an error.

    gradient of Electromagnetic field = 0


    and gradient of magnetic field = 0





    what exactly is a gradient?Can anybody teach me how to take the gradient of something?
    A gradient requires taking the partial derivatives with respect to each variable. For example, if your function is f(x,y) = x^2 + 2xy +y^3, the partial of x is 2x +2y and the partial of y is 2x +3y^2. The gradient is then (2x+2y) * unit vector of x + (2x+3y^2) * unit vector of y, usually (2x+2y)i + (2x+2y^2)j.Can anybody teach me how to take the gradient of something?
    Technically speaking operator of gradient is defined as





    grad = e_i ∂/∂x_i





    For this reason it is invalid to apply gradient to vector field.


    You may either calculate sclalar product of gard and E(r),


    denoted as div:





    div E(r) = grad * E(r) = e_i e_k ∂E_k(r)/∂x_i = ∂E_i/∂x_i = 4πρ





    or you can calculate vector product, denoted as rot:


    rot B = grad x B(r) = Eijk ej ek ∂Bj/∂xi = 2πJ

    What is the gradient of a straight line on a graph?

    A line on a graph is y = 4.





    How do you write the gradient of this line?What is the gradient of a straight line on a graph?
    The gradient of a straight line like y = C, where C is a constant, is always 0, because the derivative of a constant is 0. If you had a slope, like y = Cx, then it's gradient would be C, because those are the rules of the derivation (of course the rules of derivation don't happen by accident, but you'll see the proof you need if you look for it, these cases are not hard). Lines that are not straight, but have quadratic curves, for example, or have an asymptote, are more complicated, because they'll depend on the indepedent variable (well, they couldn't depend on some stupid variable that was already depedent itself...).What is the gradient of a straight line on a graph?
    If the question is y=4 it means that no matter what x-value you have, the corresponding y-value will always be 4. Thus, a straight horizontal line at ';height'; 4.





    Since gradient equals ';rise-over-run'; and the rise (ie. the change in height over the ';run'; distance. Since the ';height'; is always four, there is no change) is zero, the gradient is zero.





    You could write your answer as: dy/dx = 0
    this line has no gradient





    y=mx+c where m is the gradient





    a graph of y = 4 means that it is always horizontal and thus does not have a ';change in';





    if u draw it and then try draw a rectangled triangle like you would for other lines with gradients, you will obv see that it cant be done :)
    The generic equation of a straight line on a graph is





    y=mx + c





    and the gradient (or slope) of a line is simply m





    In your case the equation


    y=4





    actually means





    y = 0*x + 4


    so m is zero, and that's your gradient.






    This line is parallel with the y axis. Its slope is zero. (tan 0 = 0)


    In standard form, y = mx +c, it is y = 0 + 4, so you can see it has a slope of zero
    The gradient of the line is 0 because it is a flat line and doesn't go up or down as x changes.

    Ah, the way I always remember this: Uppy bit divided by alongy bit.


    So if coordinates were from (1,2) to (2,4)


    Uppy bit = 4-2= 2


    Alongy bit = 2-1=1


    2/1 = gradient of 2.How do you work out the gradient on a coordinate grid.?
    鈭唝/鈭唜 = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) ---%26gt; the 1 and 2 are subscripts





    so suppose you have a line , you take two points on that line say:





    (3, 4 ) and ( 4, 6 ) then your gradient is :





    (6 - 4)/(4 - 3) = 2/1 = 2
    You need two points that the line goes through, say (5,3) and (7,11). You then work out the change in y and divide by the change in y, so here we have (11-3) / (7-5) = 8/2=4

    I have my line of best fit and I need to find its gradient


    Can anybody help me out please and explain clearly otherwise I'll just get confused! Thanks!How do you find the gradient of a line on a graph?
    Take any two points on the line. Choose the most convenient.





    The gradient is the slope of the line, which as it's straight, is the same everywhere, and the slope or gradient is the same as the tangent. To calculate this, take your two points, then work out ';the differences of the Ys divided by the difference of the Xs';.





    If you drop a vertical line from the upper point, and draw a horizontal through the lower point, you'll see you've formed a right-angled triangle, with the slope as the hypotenuse. You've just calculated the tangent of the slope (';opposite over adjacent';, using the standard names of the sides).How do you find the gradient of a line on a graph?
    Draw a line vertically down from your line of best fit to the x-axis, forming a right-angled triangle between the x-axis, your line of best fit and the line you just drew. Measure the length of this line (remembering the scale of the y-axis) and divide that by distance from the origin to the point where the line you drew meets the x-axis (remembering the scale of the x-axis) and the result will be the gradient of your line of best fit. Generally, the bigger the triangle, the more accurate your result for the gradient will be.





    By ';remember the scale';, I mean that if each cm on the x-axis represented 100, and each cm on the y-axis represented 1000, then remember to take that into account when calculating your gradient - if the line you drew down to the x-axis was 5cm long and the distance from origin to meeting point was 3cm, then it wouldn't just be 5/3, it would be 5000/300, or 50/3.
    Take the co-ordinate of the highest part (x1,y1) where x1 and y1 are the co-ordinates.





    Take the co-ordinates of the lowest part of the line, or the other end (x2,y2)





    then uses this formula for the gradient.





    the gradient M=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)





    and bobs ur uncle!


    if the line slopes down from left to right then the gradient M will be negative. If the line slopes upwards from left to right the gradient is positive.





    alternatively google it!
    A straight line can be described by an equation of the form


    y = a + bx





    To find the value of a you need to set x to 0 (think about it!). This means that a is the value of y where the line crosses the y axis (i.e. where x=0).





    Now you have a you can work out the rest easily. Choose the point on the line where x is, say, 10. So y = a + 10b. You already know a (see above) so just find out what y is from your graph and plug it into the equation. Then you'll have b too.





    Job done.

    experiment. try making a cut-out of the design... use the piece of paper that has the big hole that is your design. use artist tape and tape it to another piece of paper or a wall....make sure the entire piece is taped smoothly. then to make a gradient you start with white paint....on a mixing tray or a plate mix in the smallest amount of blue that you can actually see on your brush. apply to surface. repeat until you are at the orginal shade. try mixing the paints first and make a few practice gradients. Artists work hard to master this. it takes a little while.

    How to find the gradient and y intercept on these questions?

    I really need the theory to this as well as the answers, i think i nearly have it but this would help a lot





    Thanks





    GabeHow to find the gradient and y intercept on these questions?
    GIVEN





    3x+2y=1





    and what you need to do is to convert the above in the standard slope-intercept form which is





    y = mx + b





    where





    m = slope (or gradient) of the curve


    b = y-intercept





    To convert the given equation to the standard slope-intercept form, do the following steps.





    Step 1 -- isolate the ';y'; term





    2y = - 3x + 1








    Step 2 -- divide both sides with the factor such that the numerical coefficient of ';y'; will be 1. In this case, divide both sides by ';2';





    y = - (3/2)x + 1/2





    NOTE that the above is now in the form of the standard slope-intercept equation. Therefore,





    m = slope = -3/2





    and





    b = y-intercept = 1/2





    I will leave it up to you to solve the second problem. Simply follow the same steps as in the previous problem.





    Hope this helps.





    How to find the gradient and y intercept on these questions?
    The y intercept is where it intercepts the y-axis. At that point x = 0, so put 0 in for x and solve for y.





    3x+2y=1


    3(0) + 2y = 1


    0 + 2y = 1


    2y = 1


    y = 1/2





    3y + 4x = 2


    3y + 4(0) = 2


    3y + 0 = 2


    3y = 2


    y = 2/3





    For gradient, it's easier to put them in y =- mx + b form (and that also makes it easier to see the y intercept. That's why it's called the slope/gradient form. Solve the equations for y. The slope is the coefficient on x and the constant at the end is the intercept.





    3x+2y=1


    2y = -3x + 1


    y = -3x/2 + 1/2





    slope -3/2, y-intercept = 1/2 as above





    3y+4x=2


    3y = -4x + 2


    y = -4x/3 + 234





    slope -4/3, y-intercept = 1/3 as above
    Gabe -





    You need to start by getting the equation into the format y = mx + b.





    2y = -3x + 1


    y = -(3/2)x + 1/2


    m = slope (gradient) = -3/2


    b = y-intercept = 1/2





    3y+4x=2


    3y = -4x + 2


    y = -(4/3)x + 2/3


    m = slope (gradient) = -4/3


    b = y-intercept = 2/3



    y=(-3/2)x+1/2





    slope:(-3/2)


    y intercept: 1/2








    y=(-4/3)x+2/3





    slope:(-4/3)


    y intercept: 2/3

    If the gradient is know how do you find the average speed and velocity from this?How to find the average velocity and speed from the gradient of a distance time graph?
    the velocity is the gradient of the graph


    so find the change in the y axis


    find the change in the x axis


    then find y/x


    that will be the velocity





    average speed is the total distance travelled from start to finish divided by the total time from start to finish


    so


    total distance/total timeHow to find the average velocity and speed from the gradient of a distance time graph?
    Velocity or Speed = distance / time





    If you have the gradient, and the distance/time graph is a constant straight line, then the gradient is the speed or velocity.





    You could also use the equation v = 2*pi*f*A*cos(2*pi*f)t if it's a graph of the motion of something like a pendulum. v is velocity, pi is 3.14, f is the frequency the object's moving at, A is the amplitude of the object's wavelength, and t is the time period of the object's oscillation.
    we find average velocity by using a formula





    Average velocity=Position/time = Displacement/time
    v= d/t

    What is the easiest way to work out the gradient of a straight line graph?

    I haven't done this for ages and have forgotten, please help =PWhat is the easiest way to work out the gradient of a straight line graph?
    Gradient = change in y over change in x in any given distance a long the line. The longer the distances, the more accurate it will be, if the line isn't a perfect y=2x kinda thing. Then where it crosses the y axis (c) makes the formula y=mx+c.What is the easiest way to work out the gradient of a straight line graph?
    As Sandor says, you calculate the gradient of a function, not a graph - the graph is just a way of representing the function visually. So in general terms, if you were to draw the graph of the function f(x), where f(x) = ax^n, then the equation that gives the gradient for this function at any given point is found by taking the derivative of y with respect to x, written as d(y)/d(x).





    In general terms, where f(x) = ax^n, then d(y)/d(x) = anx^(n-1); that is to say, multiply by the power and then subtract one from the power - so the derivative of x^2 is 2x, the derivative of x^3 is 3x^2, the derivative of 2x^2 - x = 4x - 1 and so on... hopefully you can see how to calculate these now. If one of the terms in the original function is purely numeric and has no value of x whatsoever, then this will disappear completely in taking the derivative. This new equation then allows you to find the gradient of the function at any point, just substitute in the value of x you require!





    I hope that is understandable, I tried to stick to layman's terms as much as possible while also being thorough, I fear I may have fallen somewhere in between and achieved neither fully though...

    What are the benefits of using a sucrose gradient in fractionation?

    Hi I carried out a quick experiment in which we did use a sucrose gradient when fractioning a homogenate. Why should I have used one? I can't find a paper that tell me why only how I set one up. ThanxWhat are the benefits of using a sucrose gradient in fractionation?
    A sucrose gradient allows you to separate cellular fractions that have subtle differences in their density. With a broad difference in concentration, you can separate different kinds of membrane bound organelles in a post-nuclear and/or post-mitochondrial supernatant (e.g. ER, Golgi, plasma membrane, lysosomes, vesicles).


    A sucrose gradient with a sharper difference in concentration can separate these crude fractions into sub-fractions (e.g. different parts of the Golgi).

    What is the relationship between diffusion and concentration gradient?

    I don't see the difference between diffusion and concentration gradient. They both mean the movement of molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration.What is the relationship between diffusion and concentration gradient?
    diffusion may be applied to particle movement rate while the concentration gradient is simply rate of change of concentration per unit length (assuming conservation laws)What is the relationship between diffusion and concentration gradient?
    Nope, diffusion is the movement. Concentration gradient is what leads stuff to diffuse, and equalize, or wipe-out, the concentration gradient.





    If you have a semi-permeable bag of salt-water in some fresh-water, there is a concentration gradient across the bag. Salt will diffuse out of the bag, and water, into the bag, until the gradient is no longer there.
    the concentration gradient influences diffusion. Molecules diffues to areas of higher concentration gradient. For example, if one side of a membrane has a lot of salt, that side has a high conc. gradient...therefore, water will diffuse to that side in order to become an equilibrium solution.

    What is gradient as it relates to graphic design software?

    Graphic design often uses the term ';gradient';; what exactly does that mean? Can you point me to a good example with explanation?What is gradient as it relates to graphic design software?
    Definition: A gradient, or graduated fill, is a color fill that gradually blends from one color to another. A gradient can contain more than two colors, all fading smoothly from one to another. Gradients are very useful for creating shading for three-dimensional and metallic effects. Most graphics software allows you to create a variety of gradient effects such as linear, radial, reflected, diamond, conical, and angle. Some software even offers gradient mesh effects, which allows you to create elaborate shading by plotting colors to each of the intersections of an imaginary mesh, so that the colors all blend together. In the example image you can see several types of gradients, including a 3D button created simply by using two opposing linear gradient fills.

    How does a cell utilize a concentration gradient in accordance with the first law of thermodynamics?

    Any ideas? I understand that energy can be transformed, transferred but not created or destroyed, but how does it relate to this? How does a cell utilize a concentration gradient in accordance with the first law of thermodynamics?
    Man, this is a pretty broad question!! Here goes...





    A cell must use ATP as a source of energy to transport nutrients against a concentration gradient. A cell can also diffuse nutrients across its gradient without having to use any energy (normal diffusion or facilitated diffusion). A cell prefers to limit the amount of energy it must use to transport nutrients. A mechanism such as the cotransport of glucose and sodium shows how this is utilized. In the endothelial cells of the intestinal tract, a sodium gradient is created by the Na-K-pump in the basolateral membrane. The potential energy created by this pump allows Na+ to move along it's gradient into the cell through the apical membrane, bringing glucose along with it (against it's gradient in most cases). This is called secondary active transport (doesn't draw immediate energy from ATP, but rather from a gradient). This mechanism shows how a cell utilizes a concentration gradient of one nutrient to move another nutrient across it's gradient. If this weren't the case, the cell wouldn't be able to access glucose unless the concentration inside the cell was lower than the concentration outside of the cell, which would severely limit almost every function in the body!!!





    You can use this example to explain how the total energy in the system is conserved (no energy is destroyed or created, but rather transformed/transferred).

    Another way is to ctrl-click on the brush layer in the layer palette to select the brush and then use the gradient tool in the toolbar - in the same stack as the paintpot - to do your gradient. This time you choose your gradient by clicking on the gradient box up in the top option bar. With the brush layer selected in the layers palette, click and drag your mouse over the brush and it will take on the gradient.

    How do you work out gradient?

    I know i must sound like a complete idiot, but i can't work out gradient on a line graph. The line is straight, but sloping upwards. Please can you help me? I need a simple answer because I've looked on here for similar questions and the answers are really confusing!


    Thanks!How do you work out gradient?
    You don't sound like an idiot at all. In fact, as a highschool maths tutor, I often get questions like this. The answer, while simple, is not that straightforward. In fact there are a number of ways to calculate the gradient of a linear equation (i.e. a straight line) depending on what you have to work with. I will list three:





    1) If you know the angle made with the positive x direction, then you can calculate the gradient by taking the tangent of that angle. E.g. M = tan(60)





    2) If you know the general equation to the line (Y = Mx + c) it is simply the coefficient of the independent variable, the M.





    3) If you know 2 points on the line (and since you have a graph of the line, you can choose ANY two points you like!) you can work out the gradient by finding the ratio of the differences between the y terms and the x terms. That is: M = (y1 - y2)/(x1-x2)


    This is often referred to as the RISE over RUN.





    Hope this helps!How do you work out gradient?
    To find gradient or slope you need to use this formula





    y2-y1 / x2 - x1 = m


    (m stand for slope) %26lt;%26lt; this is a formula to find slope





    to find for standard form you need this one





    y-y1 = m(x-x1)


    {but to work this out you need to have slope and coordinates}





    And you said that you can't work out a gradient on a line graph


    . When you graph it a straight line right and to find a slope of this line you must have 2 coordinates which is (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) right. Now how to to find these coordinates then. You know everything work from left to right like this question 5-1 = 4 right that work from left to right you not going to do it from right to left right because the answer going to be wrong. Just like this to find coordinates you need to look from left to right (always) and then you choose one of the coordinates that a line pass. And if you get it already (remember two coordinates only) just replace it in an equation that I have wrote down for you --





    I hope that can help you out.
    you have to use this equation.





    y = mx + c





    c = the y intercept (the number it goes through on the y axis.


    m = gradient.





    right what you have to do is pick two points on your line. For example:


    (7,11) and (12,31)


    7 and 12 are the x co-ordinates and


    11 and 31 are the y co-ordinates


    to work out the gradient you need to do 31-11 = 20


    and 12-7 = 5





    20/5 = 4





    4 is your gradient





    sorry if thats not very clear, its quite hard to explain without showing you.
    delta Y divided by delta X


    That is the change in height divided by the run


    Or if you have graphed the line and used X as the horizontal scale and Y as the vertical scale then you choose two points on the line (X1, Y1) (the point with the lower values, to the left) and (X2, Y2) (the point with the higher values, to the right) the gradient is:


    (Y2-Y1) / (X2-X1)
    all u have to do is draw a line connecting point 1 and point 2 vertically and horizontally. (U'l c a triangle forming)





    measure the length vertically, starting from point 1 to point 2 ( make sure u measure the vertical length and not the aligned length). say this is x





    simllarly get the horizontal length from point 1 to point 2. say this is y





    gradient would be x/y
    the formula Y1-Y2 divided by X1-X2...so simply take two points from your y axis at the same point read your x axis.Then subtract your Y1-Y2 and the same order Subtract X1-X2 the divide.e.g co-ordinates (2,3) AND (4,5) Y1 I'm gonna make 5 so y2 is 3 i have to have the same order for X so will be 4 and 2.5-3 divided by 4-2=gradient = 1
    get two points, write their coordinates down.


    (x,y) (x,y)


    calculate the change in x and then the change in y.


    divide the change in x by the change in y.
    The gradient is also called the slope.





    If the function is growing the slope is positive.





    Look upon your line. Take two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)





    gradient: d/dx = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
    find two sets of coordinates on the graph, then do:





    (change in y values) / (change in x values) = gradient of straight line





    :)
    gradient is rise/run


    rise= the heught difference of the two points


    run= the width difference

    What is the concentration gradient in osmosis?

    i know that it is to do with water passing in and out of cells through a partially permeable membrane, but some websites say that it is from low to high concentration, and some say high to low concentration. please help?What is the concentration gradient in osmosis?
    Water moves from high water to low water which is another way of saying from low solute to high solute.What is the concentration gradient in osmosis?
    osmosis is simply diffusion. I remember being confused by it when I was learning about it, but its really quite simple.





    lets say you have two chambers separated by a semi-permeable membrane. All that semi-permeable means is that some stuff will go through it and some stuff won't. Generally water will pass through while whatever is dissolved in the water (the solute) won't.





    When a substance diffuses it gradually spreads out from an area of high concentration because of random movements of its molecules. After a while it will be evenly spread throughout the solution. You can liken osmosis to diffusion of water.





    In our two chambers one side is pure water, and the other side is water with a solute dissolved in it. The solute cannot leave the chamber because the membrane is impermeable to it while the water can go wherever it wants.


    If you look at the ';concentration of the water'; (though that is a strange way of saying it) the water will be at 100% concentration in the pure chamber, and somewhat less in the solute chamber. This is because with other stuff dissolved in it the water can never be at 100% concentration. Some of the liquid will always be the solute.


    What we have is a gradient or water concentration that the water will tend to diffuse down and try and make the water concentrations in the two chambers equal. The water will diffuse across the membrane to the solute chamber just like dye dropped into water diffusing from high to low concentration.





    If the ';solute'; chamber is a cell (generally people are talking about cells when they talk about osmosis), then the ';pure'; chamber is the outside of the cell. Of course there is stuff dissolved on both sides, but a cell is full of lots of different solutes. In fact a cell is just a bag to keep those solutes in really. There is therefore usually a tendancy for water to move into the cell from the surrounding fluid and cause the cell to swell. This can be seen if you put a cut section of potato into tap water for a few days - the section will swell slightly and you can measure this. Thats the standard teaching experiment.





    It seems you have fallen into the trap of not knowing what concentration gradient they are talking about. Some sites will be talking about the solute concentration, some about the ';concentration of water';. As the water is whats moving focus on that. If the solute conc. is high then the water conc is low and water will try to move into that area across a membrane if the water conc. is higher on the other side.





    The reason all this is important is that if the concentration of solute is too high outside the cell water will tend to flow out of the cells and they will deflate (cell crenation) and cause important life processes inside the cell to be disrupted. If the solute concentration is too low outside the cell then water will rush into the cells and lead to the cells bursting. This is why you have kidneys and a sense of thirst - they work together to keep the concentrations just right for your cells to survive happily.





    OK, so maybe it isnt that simple, but once you get it it will just click in there I promise.
    high to low concentration of solutes. Water goes from high to low to balance everything out
    from high to low

Diffusion is the process by which molecules move from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration (for example, perfume spreads when released). Molecules that are diffusing are said to be moving ';down the concentration gradient';, because they are going to the area of lesser concentration.What is a gradient, how and why gradients drive diffusion?
    gradient is the relationship of the concentration of one substance to the concentration of the same substance, separated by a membrane.





    ex) 40% salt solution on one side and 80% salt solution on the other.





    this gradient drives diffusion because diffusion works to even the difference out. since diffusion is a passive transport system (no energy required), the membrane has to be permeable to the substance.





    after time, the gradient will drive the salt solutions on both sides to equal the same (60% on each side of the membrane)

    What establishes the electrochemical gradient across a membrane to provide energy for ATP production?

    A. The chloroplast's electron transport system provides the ions.


    B Hydrogen ions naturally collect on the outside of the organelle membrane.


    C Hydrogen ions are pumped across the membrane by carrier proteins.


    D. All of the choices establish the electrochemical gradient.What establishes the electrochemical gradient across a membrane to provide energy for ATP production?
    Hydrogen ions are pumped across the membrane during electron transport.

    How do I create the gradient box that houses this question? With the green gradient to white? As well as the light gray border?





    Details please.How do I create gradient boxes on a web page?
    You need to create or download the gradient image, then set it as a background with CSS. Here's a couple of tutorials.How do I create gradient boxes on a web page?
    use photoshop or a graphics program to create any image you want,





    There would be a gradient tool, you just have to drag it across and object. This of course needs a little photoshop knowledge,





    use google and search for ' gradient box tutorial' or any combination of those words, honestly, there's more then enough graphics and template tutorials on the internet for you to create just about anything.

    What is the steepest gradient an average car can drive?

    I believe about 32% is about as steep as you would dare to take the ';average'; car. First gear only on that!

    40-47 degrees from the horizontal if they are going to start on the slope, the number could be increased if the car could get a run-up to speed before encountering the gradient.

    If a pressure gradient exists as a result of differential heating of a continent in the northern hemisphere on?

    If a pressure gradient exists as a result of differential heating of a continent in the northern hemisphere on a hot summer day, what type of wind system might you expect to develop? Near the surface, how would the wind be oriented? As the day progressed, would you expect the wind to shift direction? Why or why not?If a pressure gradient exists as a result of differential heating of a continent in the northern hemisphere on?
    Warm air rises - the air heated over the land would rise.


    Wind would flow in towards that area to replace the air that rose.

    What is thermal gradient and how could i demonstrate it in a presentation?

    I have no idea what this is and i have to give a presentation on it. Help!!!!!What is thermal gradient and how could i demonstrate it in a presentation?
    Thermal gradient is the rate of temperature change with distance; for example, its increase with depth below the surface of the earth.





    A shower curtain is a great demonstrator of this. The hot air inside the shower (relative to the colder air on the outside) lowers the air pressure inside the shower and sucks the curtain in to stick on your legs.





    I'm not sure you'd want to demonstrate this but pictures and a description might be OK.





    Hope that helps.

    Gradient??

    been given a line a to b


    a is at 0m


    b is at 120m


    a to b rises 1:40





    does that mean every 40 metres i move up 1 metre??Gradient??
    yes
