A record turntable is rotating at 33 rev/min. A watermelon seed is on the turntable 7.8 cm from the axis of rotation. (a) Calcul

ate the acceleration of the seed, assuming that it does not slip. (b) What is the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the seed and the turntable if the seed is not to slip

Given data:

● Angular velocity of the turntable ω = 33 rev/min

Therefore,

ω = 33 rev/min

ω = 33rev/min × 2π rad/rev × 1 min/60 sec = 3.45 rad/s

● The distance of the watermelon seed from the axis of rotation r = 7.8 cm = 0.078 m

● μs = the coefficient of static friction

Section a:

The seed is undergoes circular motion and it is been effected by centripetal acceleration.

ac = rω^2

ac = 0.078 × 3.45^2

ac = 0.9284 m/s^2

Therefore,

the centripetal acceleration of the seed is 9.274 m/s^2

Section b:

If the seed is observed not to slip at the course of the circular motion, then the supplied frictional force given by the seed and surface of turntable would at least be equivalent to the centripetal force working on the seed.

Centripetal Force = Frictional Force

mrω^2 = μsmg

μs = rω^2 /g

μs = 0.078 × 3.45^2

------------

9.81

μs = 0.09464

Thus,

the coefficient of static friction is 0.09464.

GaryK [48]

The urinary bladder is composed of transistional epithelium.

<h3>What is Urinary bladder?.</h3>

The urinary bladder is a muscular sac that is composed of transitional epithelium and it is located in the pelvis between the pubic bone. When the bladder is empty,It has the size a pear. Urine produced by the kidneys move ureters to the bladder. The bladder stores urine, allowing urination to be well managed.

The transitional epithelium contain multiple cells that changes shapes.

Therefore, The urinary bladder is composed of transitional epithelium

How is the process of carbon fixation in CAM plants different from the process in C3 and C4 plants? a. CAM plants require a larg
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option C.

Plants evolved different methods to prevent or reduce the effects of photorespiration.

The C3 plants are the most common plants which do not have any special methods or physiology to prevent photorespiration.

The C4 are the plants in which carbon fixation and the Calvin cycle takes place in different cells. Carbon is fixed in the mesophyll cells with the help of PEP carboxylase enzyme. It fixes carbon and converts PEP into oxaloacetate. The Calvin cycle takes place in the bundle-sheath cells.

In contrast, CAM (Crassulacean acid metabolism) plants are those in which carbon fixation and Calvin cycle are separated into time. The carbon is fixed during the night as it helps in reducing the loss of water through transpiration.

The Calvin cycle takes place during the day time in the same cell, that is, mesophyll cell.
