What is Metabolism?

"<span>The process by which your body converts food into energy", sounds more accurate.

"</span><span>The amount of potential energy contained in food", is basically a long way of saying - Calories.

So, I would go with the one that talks about the process of converting food to energy.</span>

In an experiment, students measure the position x of a cart as a function of time t for a cart that starts at rest and moves wit

Minchanka [31]

Given :

Initial velocity , u = 0 m/s² .

To Find :

The acceleration of the cart.

Solution :

Since, acceleration is constant.

Using equation of motion :

$x = ut + \dfrac{at^2}{2}\\\\x = \dfrac{at^2}{2}$

Putting, t = 1 s and x = 4 m in above equation, we get :

$4 = \dfrac{a(1)^2}{2}\\\\a = 8 \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the cart is 8 m/s².

The origin of an x axis is placed at the center of a nonconducting solid sphere of radius R that carries a charge +qsphere distr

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

$q=49Q/64$

and

$x =16R/15$

Explanation:

See attached figure.

$E_{Q}=$ E due to sphere

$E_{q}=$ E due to particule

$E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0$ (1)

according to the law of gauss and superposition Law:

$E_{Q}=E_{1}+E_{2}=E_{2}$ ; electric field due to the small sphere with r1=R/4

$E_{Q}=kq_{2}/(r_{1}^{2})=$

$q_{2}=density*4/3*pi*r_{1}^{3}=Q/(4/3*pi*R^{3})*4/3*pi*r_{1}^{3}=Q*r_{1}^{3}/R^{3}$

then: $E_{Q}=kq_{2}/(r_{1}^{2})=k*Q*r_{1}^{3}/(R^{3}*r_{1}^{2}) = kQ/(4*R^{2})$ (2)

on the other hand, for the particule:

$E_{q}=kq/(r_{p}^{2})$

$r_{p}=2R-R/4=7R/4$ ⇒ $E_{q}=16kq/(49R^{2})$ (3)

We replace (2) y (3) in (1):

$E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0=kQ/(4*R^{2}) - 49kq/(16R^{2})$

$q=49Q/64$

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

if R<x<2R AND $E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0$

$E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0=kQ/(x^{2}) - kq/(2R-x^{2})$

remember that $q=49Q/64$

then:

$Q(2R-x^{2})=49/64*x^{2}$

solving:

$x_{1} =16R/15$

$x_{2} =16R$

but: R<x<2R

so : $x =16R/15$

A gas is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a light frictionless piston and maintained at atmospheric pressure. When 3300 kcal o

Tema [17]

Answer

given,

heat added to the gas,Q = 3300 kcal

initial volume, V₁ = 13.7 m³

final volume, V₂ = 19.7 m³

atmospheric pressure, P = 1.013 x 10⁵ Pa

a) Work done by the gas

W = P Δ V

W = 1.013 x 10⁵ x (19.7 - 13.7)

W = 6.029 x 10⁵ J

b) internal energy of the gas = ?

now,

change in internal energy

Δ U = Q - W

Q = 3300 x 10³ cal

Q = 3300 x 10³ x 4.186 J

Q = 1.38 x 10⁷ J

now,

Δ U = 1.38 x 10⁷ - 6.029 x 10⁵

Δ U = 1.32 x 10⁷ J

Tom is throwing an baseball at an aluminum can,

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

The question relates to the conservation of energy principle, the conservation of the linear momentum, and Newton's Laws of motion

Part A

1) Tom throwing a baseball at a can

The initial velocity of the baseball = v₂

The initial kinetic energy of the baseball, K.E.₂ = (1/2)·m₂·v₂²

∴ The final kinetic energy of the baseball, K.E.₂' = (1/2)·m₂·v₂'² < (1/2)·m₂·v₂²

Therefore, the energy of the ball before the collision is lesser than the energy of the ball after the collision

2) The evidence that would likely support the claim is that the baseball's height above the ground reduces rapidly immediately after the collision which is due to the reduced velocity, and therefore, the reduced (kinetic) energy

The final velocity of the baseball v₂' < v₂

Part B

1) The argument

The initial velocity of the can = v₁ = 0 (The can is initially at rest)

The initial kinetic energy of the can, K.E.₁ = (1/2)·m₁·v₁² = 0

The final velocity of the can v₁' > v₁ = 0

∴ The final kinetic energy of the can, K.E.₁ = (1/2)·m₁·v₁² > 0

Given that the velocity of the can increases from zero to a positive value after collision with the baseball, the kinetic energy of the can is increased from zero before the collision to a positive value after the collision

2) An evidence in support of the argument is the motion of the can which was initially at rest which is an indication of increase in energy podded by the can
