You are riding on a school bus and suddenly get thrown forward. What did the bus just do?

You are thrown the direction that the bus was originally going.

If the bus is going straight and it turns left your body will keep trying to go straight. This is the same if the bus turns to the left.

We know the answer is not A and D however because when turning you are not 'suddenly' thrown forward.

We know it cannot be that the bus was going backward and suddenly stopped because you would fly in the original direction of the bus which is backwards.

The answer is B because you are going forward, then suddenly stop, which means you are suddenly flung in the direction the bus was originally going which was forward.

Suppose a 4.0-kg projectile is launched vertically with a speed of 8.0 m/s. What is the maximum height the projectile reaches?
eduard

Answer:

h = 3.3 m (Look at the explanation below, please)

Explanation:

This question has to do with kinetic and potential energy. At the beginning (time of launch), there is no potential energy- we assume it starts from the ground. There, is, however, kinetic energy

Kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Plug in the numbers = \frac{1}{2}(4.0)(8^{2})

Solve = 2(64) = 128 J

Now, since we know that the mechanical energy of a system always remains constant in the absence of outside forces (there is no outside force here), we can deduce that the kinetic energy at the bottom is equal to the potential energy at the top. Look at the diagram I have attached.

Potential energy = mgh = (4.0)(9.8)(h) = 39.2(h)

Kinetic energy = Potential Energy

128 J = 39.2h

h = 3.26 m

h= 3.3 m (because of significant figures)

Light of wavelength 476.1 nm falls on two slits spaced 0.29 mm apart. What is the required distance from the slits to the screen
stich3 [128]

Answer:

The distance is D  =  2.6 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The wavelength of the light is  \lambda  =  476.1 \ nm  =  476.1 *10^{-9} \ m

      The  distance between the slit is  d =  0.29 \  mm  =  0.29 *10^{-3} \ m

       The  between the first and second dark fringes is  y =  4.2 \ mm  =  4.2 *10^{-3} \ m

Generally  fringe width is mathematically represented as

       y  =  \frac{\lambda * D }{d}

Where D is the distance of the slit to the screen

   Hence

        D  =  \frac{y *  d}{\lambda }

substituting values

       D  =  \frac{ 4.2 *10^{-3} *   0.29 *10^{-3}}{ 476.1 *10^{-9} }

        D  =  2.6 \ m

A runner drank a lot of water during a race. What is the expected path of the extra filtered water molecules?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Afferent arteriole, glomerulus, nephron tubule, collecting duct

Explanation:

Blood enters the kidney through the renal artery, a thick branch from the descending aorta. In the hilum, it is divided into several branches that are distributed through the lobes of the kidney and are branching forming numerous afferent arterioles that form the glomerular clew. It is precisely the walls of these capillaries that act as ultrafilters, allowing small particles to pass through.

Blood that flows through the <u>afferent arteriole</u> circulates through the capillary vessels of the kidney (the true capillaries that provide the kidney with oxygen and nutrients necessary for its function). These capillaries are grouped together to form the renal vein which, in turn, pours into the inferior vena cava.

Given the function of the kidneys to eliminate waste products through urine, it is not surprising that these organs are the ones that receive the most blood per gram of weight. One way to express renal blood flow is by considering the renal fraction or fraction of cardiac output that passes through the kidneys.

The regulation of blood flow in the glomeruli is achieved by three formations: the polar bearing, the Goormaghtigh cells and the dense macula. The polar bearing consists of a thickening of the afferent arteriole wall before it enters the <u>renal glomerulus</u>. The arteriole loses its elastic membrane, the endothelium becomes discontinuous and the middle tunic is arranged in two layers, formed by secretory cells: these secretory cells produce Angiotensin and Erythropoietin.

Goormaghtigh cells are arranged at an angle between afferent and effector arterioles and meet in small columns. They are closely related to polar bearing cells. Between both formations is the dense macula (or Zimmerman's dense macula) that is in contact with the distal tubule and afferent arteriole just before it penetrates the glomerulus. These three formations, polar bearing, Goormaghtigh cells and dense macula form the juxtaglomerular apparatus that regulates the blood flow in the glomerulus.

<u>Nephrons</u> regulate water and soluble matter (especially Electrolytes) in the body, by first filtering the blood under pressure, and then reabsorbing some necessary fluid and molecules back into the blood while secreting other unnecessary molecules.

The reabsorption and secretion are achieved with the mechanisms of Cotransporte and Contratransporte established in the nephrons and associated collection ducts. Blood filtration occurs in the glomerulus, a capping of capillaries that is inside a Bowman's capsule.

Liquid flows from the nephron in the <u>collecting duct</u> system. This segment of the nephron is crucial to the process of water conservation by the body. In the presence of the antidiuretic hormone (ADH; also called vasopressin), these ducts become water permeable and facilitate their reabsorption, thus concentrating the urine and reducing its volume. Conversely, when the body must remove excess water, for example after drinking excess fluid, ADH production is decreased and the collecting tubule becomes less permeable to water, making the urine diluted and abundant.
