How does energy change from one form into another inside an animal?

1 answer:

7 0

In an animal there are many different ways energy can be transferred. Here are some ways:
When it eats food- mechanical to chemical
When it moves- potential to chemical to mechanical + kinetic

A student measures the volume of a gas sample at several different temperatures. The results are tabulated as follows:Temperatur

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Check the first and the third choices:

a. The temperature of a gas is directly proportional to its volume

b. The temperature-to-volume ratio of a gas is constant.

Explanation:

Rewrite the table for better understanding:

Temperature of gas (K) Volume of gas (L)

298 4.55

315 4.81

325 4.96

335 ?

Calculate the ratios temperature to volume with 3 significant figures:

298 / 4.55 = 65.5

315 / 4.81 = 65.5

325 / 4.96 = 65.5

Then, those numbers show a constant temperature-to-volume ratio, which may be expressed in a formula as:

Temperature / Volume = constant, which is a directly proportional variation (the volume increases in a constant proportion to the increase of the temperature).

Hence, the correct choices are:

The temperature of a gas is directly proportional to its volume (first statement), and

The emperature-to-volume ratio of a gas is constant (third statement).

Calculate the critical angle for light going from Glycerine to air.

Georgia [21]

The refractive index for glycerine is $n_g=1.473$ , while for air it is $n_a = 1.00$ .

When the light travels from a medium with greater refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, there is a critical angle over which there is no refraction, but all the light is reflected. This critical angle is given by:
$\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )$
where n1 and n2 are the refractive indices of the two mediums. If we susbtitute the refractive index of glycerine and air in the formula, we find the critical angle for this case:
$\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{1.00}{1.473} )=42.8^{\circ}$

What measurement do we use to determine the amount of force used to move an object by a simple machine

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Newtons.

Explanation:

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is;

$F = ma$

Where;

F represents force measured in Newton.

m represents the mass of an object measured in kilograms.

a represents acceleration measured in meter per seconds square.

Newtons is a measurement we use to determine the amount of force used to move an object by a simple machine. It is the International System of Units (SI) used to measure force and has a symbol of N.

Basically, it was named after Sir Isaac Newton based on his fundamental works in the field of mechanics (motions).

You are listening to the radio when one of your favorite songs comes on, so you turn up the volume. If you managed to increase t

andrew-mc [135]

To solve this problem we need to apply the corresponding sound intensity measured from the logarithmic scale. Since in the range of intensities that the human ear can detect without pain there are large differences in the number of figures used on a linear scale, it is usual to use a logarithmic scale. The unit most used in the logarithmic scale is the decibel yes described as

$\beta_{dB} = 10log_{10} \frac{I}{I_0}$
