A machine require 2,000 joules to raise a 20 kilogram block a distance of 6 meters. How efficient is the machine?

Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height) .

To raise the 20kg block 6 meters, you need to give it

                         (20 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (6 m) = 1,176 joules

of potential energy.

Your machine takes 2,000 joules of energy to give the block
the 1,176 joules that it takes.

Your machine is only  (1176 / 2000) = 58.8% efficient .

The other 'missing' 824 joules of energy doesn't just disappear.
It heats the machine, and the air around it.  The final result is
that when you use that machine to lift blocks, you have to use
even MORE energy, to blow cool air on the machine and prevent
it from overheating and breaking.

In terms of ATP, how much more energy does the aerobic respiration process produce?
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Aerobic respiration process produce either 36 ATP or 38 ATP depending on the amount of NADH moles while Anaerobic produces 2 ATP. Aerobic respiration produces 32-34 ATP more

Explanation:

Aerobic respiration has 3 steps which includes; Glycolysis which produces 2ATP; Krebs cycle which produces 2 ATP and Electron Transport Chain which produces 32 - 34 ATP depending on the molecule of NADH introduced into the reaction from the kreb cycle

Which of the following describes the nervous system integrative function? A. responds to stimuli by gland secretion or muscle co
Verdich [7]

Answer:

B. analyzes sensory information, stores information, makes decisions

Explanation:

The receptors sense the changes or stimuli. The sensory neurons of the nervous system deliver this sensory information to the processing center, that is, to the central nervous system. The central nervous system serves to store the information and analyze it to determine the best suitable response. The ability of the nervous system to the store and process of sensory information to make the effector organs to exhibit the best response represents its integrative function.
