The light reactions could be viewed as analogous to a hydroelectric dam. In that case, the wall of the dam that holds back the water would be analogous to the thylakoid membrane.

Thylakoid membrane is present in cyanobacteria and chloroplasts of plants. It plays a crucial role in photosynthesis and photosystem II reactions.

In general, these are the regions where light-dependent reactions take place. The thylakoid membrane is a lipid-bound membrane that maintains potential difference and also controls the flow of liquids across the membrane during light reactions.

In the provided case, we can see that the wall of the dam holds back the water, similarly, in light-dependent reactions, thylakoid membranes control the liquid flow and also regulate the potential gradient across the membrane and also allow the selective proteins to pass through.

Centripetal force is a centering force related to acceleration. The centripetal force when driving prevents which of the followi
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

C. The car from driving off the road on a curve

Explanation:

A centripetal force actually causes circular motion. This occurs when an object moves in a circular path or a circle,a force will definitely act on it.

For instance, a car travelling in a circular path must definitely experience this force acting on it, even when the car moves at a constant speed. If it does not exist the object will definitely spin off in a direction tangential to the circular path or curve.

6000 kg train moving 5 m/sec to east collides with 5000 kg train moving 3 m/sec to west. What is their velocity
Svetlanka [38]

The final velocity is 1.37 m/s east

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: in fact, in absence of external forces, the total momentum of the two trains must be conserved before and after the collision.

So we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v

where:

m_1 = 6000 kg is the mass of the first train

u_1 = 5 m/s is the initial velocity of the first train (we take east as positive direction)

m_2 = 5000 kg is the mass of the second train

u_2 = -3 m/s is the initial velocity of the second train

v is the final combined velocity of the two trains

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find:

v=\frac{m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(6000)(5)+(5000)(-3)}{6000+5000}=1.37 m/s

And the positive sign indicates their final direction is east.

3. Si usted duplicara la amplitud de un M.A.S. ¿cómo cambiaría la frecuencia, velocidad máxima, la aceleración máxima y la energ
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

la frecuencia = ω/2π, nada cambio

v(max) = ωA → ω2Α = 2ωA  duplicara velocidad máxima

a(max) = ω²Α → ω²2Α = 2ω²Α duplicara la aceleración máxima

la energía total ½kA² → ½k(2Α)² = 4(½kA²) cuatro veces la energía

If the speed of light in a substance is 2.26 x 10^8 m/s, what is the index of refraction of that substance?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

1.33

Explanation:

speed of light in vacuum, c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

speed of light in medium, v = 2.26 x 10^8 m/s

The refractive index of the medium is given by

μ = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium

μ = (3 x 10^8) / (2.26 x 10^8)

μ = 1.33

A 60 kg skydiver is falling at a terminal velocity of 50 m/s.
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The gravitational force is definitely acting downwards towards the ground and this is equal to the weight of the skydiver.

the acceleration a = 7.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that :

the mass of the skydiver = 60 kg

Velocity = 50 m/s

Thus;  gravitational force is definitely acting downwards towards the ground and this is equal to the weight of the skydiver.

Also; the air resistance is acting upward and the resultant of both forces = mass×acceleration

So;

mg-R = ma

60(9.8) - 120 = 60(a)

588 -120 = 60a

468 = 60a

a = \frac{468}{60}

a = 7.8 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration a = 7.8 m/s²
