PE stands for Potential Energy. It is the stored energy in an object due to its position with respect to some reference. It is expressed in Joules.
P.E = m * g * h OR P.E. = mgh
m - mass of the body
g - acceleration due to gravity
h - height attained due to the body's displacement.
K.E. stands for Kinetic Energy. It is the energy possessed by a body due to its motion.
K.E = 1/2 mv² where m = mass of the body; v = velocity with which the body is moving.
Answer:
b. active solar heating systems
Explanation:
A solar collector is a device that collects and/or concentrates solar radiation from the Sun. These devices are primarily used for active solar heating and allow for the heating of water for personal use.
Answer: Water is absorbed in the intestine through gradient transport. The correct option is E.
Explanation:
Absorption of water in the mammalian intestines occurs largely on the small intestine through a transport mechanism known as osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules, through a semi permeable membrane, from the region of lower solute concentration into higher solute concentration to attain an equilibrium.
For water molecules to be absorbed from the lumen into the bloodstream, it's dependent on sodium absorption. This follows the following steps:
-sodium is absorbed by co transport with glucose and amino acids.this aids to move sodium from lumen into the enterocyte.
- Rapid exportation of absorbed sodium through sodium pimps from the enterocyte.
- As sodium is pumped out of cells an osmotic gradient is formed across apical cell membrane, this helps to osmotically drive water across the epithelium. Therefore water is absorbed in the intestine through the osmotic gradient created by sodium absorption. I hope this helps. Thanks.
Explanation:
The temperature of the solar nebula was decreasing as it moved away from its center. Therefore, only heavy elements could condense in the inner solar system and terrestrial planets could not form with light elements, such as gases. In the outer solar system, the Jovian planets formed mostly with gases, since temperatures were too low to allow rocky compositions.
Answer:
The magnitude of the average force exerted on the water by the blade is 960 N.
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of water per second that strikes the blade is, 
Initial speed of the oncoming stream, u = 16 m/s
Final speed of the outgoing water stream, v = -16 m/s
We need to find the magnitude of the average force exerted on the water by the blade. It can be calculated using second law of motion as :
F = -960 N
So, the magnitude of the average force exerted on the water by the blade is 960 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
