Answer:
4.65 minutes.

Explanation:
Theoretical Assumptions (not realistic): 1) ALL of the heat energy is transferred to the water, and 2)the water is uniformly heated. 3) The water density is 1.0g/mL.
Because we are only heating it TO the “boiling point”, ONLY the energy to heat the water from 20 to 100’C using the heat capacity or specific heat of water is required. A “Watt” is 1 Joule/second. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g-’C. Water mass is 1000g. The energy required to heat it is therefore

When a gun is fired at the shooting range, the gun recoils (moves backward). Explain this using the law of conservation of momen
12345 [234]
The total momentum is unchanged according to the law of conservation of momentum. When the gun is fired, the bullet gains a high velocity forward (positive velocity), and that velocity multiplied by its mass is the momentum the bullet gains. Therefore, the gun must gain a momentum backwards to cancel out that momentum forward, so the gun recoils back with a negative velocity.

A mass of 240 grams oscillates on a horizontal frictionless surface at a frequency of 2.5 Hz and with amplitude of 4.5 cm.
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

(a) The spring constant is 59.23 N/m

(b) The total energy involved in the motion is 0.06 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass, m = 240 g = 0.24 kg

frequency, f = 2.5 Hz

amplitude of the oscillation, A = 4.5 cm = 0.045 m

The  angular speed is calculated as;

ω = 2πf

ω = 2 x π x 2.5

ω = 15.71 rad/s

(a) The spring constant is calculated as;

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\\omega ^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\\\k = m\omega ^2\\\\where;\\\\k \ is \ the \ spring \ constant\\\\k = (0.24) \times (15.71)^2\\\\k = 59.23 \ N/m

(b) The total energy involved in the motion;

E = ¹/₂kA²

E = (0.5) x (59.23) x (0.045)²

E = 0.06 J

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

3 effect of oxidized lipids

4 an inflammatory response

5 the formation of plaques

Explanation:

Destruction of cells due to oxidation of lipids whereby free radicals steal electrons in cell membrane.

This occurs when tissues get injured by trauma, bacteria or toxins, thereby causing damages cells to release chemicals like histamine, brakykinn that cause vessels to leak fluid into the injured tissues causing swelling.

-plaques are regions of destroyed cells which are visible structures formed inside a cell culture.

Question 2 (1 point)
eduard

Answer: Blake may have a decreased chance of disease.

Explanation:

Research has shown that on average, a person who engages in more physical activity will live longer than a person who does not with one reason for this being that engaging in physical activity helps reduce the risk of diseases such as; heart disease, diabetes, and many forms of cancer.

Obesity (risk factor) and high blood pressure are also reduced by engaging in physical activity.
