During cellular respiration, our bodies take glucose molecules and breaks the bonds holding the molecules together. When these bonds are broken, the chemical energy stored in these bonds are released and used to make ATP molecules, a form of useable energy for us.

An observer standing near a window 5 m high observe that an object falling downwards is passing across the window in 0.5 s. Find
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Explanation:

An object in free fall, NOT experiencing parabolic motion, has an equation of

h(t)=\frac{1}{2} gt^2+h_0 which says:

The height of an object with respect to time in seconds is equal to the pull of gravity times time-squared plus the height from which it was dropped. Normally we use -9.8 for gravity but you said to use 10, so be it.

For us, h(t) is 5 because we are looking for the height of the window when the object is 5 m off the ground at .5 seconds;

g = 10 m/s/s, and

t = .5sec

5=\frac{1}{2}(-10)(.5)^2+h and

5 = -5(.5)² + h and

5 = -5(.25) + h and

5 = -1.25 + h so

h = 6.25

That's how high the window is above the ground.

A plane passes over Point A with a velocity of 8000 m/s north. Forty seconds later it passes over Point B at a velocity of 10,00
Airida [17]

Answer:

The planes’ acceleration from A to B is 500m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that the initial velocity u is 8000m/s

and also given the final velocity v=10,000 m/s

the time taken to move from A to B = 40 second

The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with time

we know that the expression for acceleration is given as

a=(v-u)/t

substituting our given data into the expression for a we have

a=(10000-8000)/40

a=2000/40

a=500m/s^2

The planes’ acceleration from A to B is 500m/s^2

A planet orbits a start with the path shown below.
kvv77 [185]

PART a)

As we know that gravitational potential energy is given by the formula

U = -\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r}

here we can see that gravitational potential energy inversely varies with the distance

so here when distance from the sun is minimum then magnitude of gravitational potential energy is maximum while since it is given with negative sign so its overall value is minimum at that position

So gravitational potential energy is minimum at the nearest point and maximum at the farthest point

PART b)

Since we know that sum of kinetic energy and potential energy is constant here

so the points of minimum potential energy is the point where kinetic energy is maximum which means speed is maximum

So here speed is maximum at the nearest point

Part C)

since gravitational potential energy inversely varies with distance so it's graph will be like hyperbolic graph with distance

A wave travels at 175 m/s along the x-axis.If the period of the periodic vibrations of the wave is 3.00 milliseconds,then what i
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:  

<h2>E) 52.5 cm</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

period T= 3 milliseconds= 0.003

velocity v= 175m/s

wave lenght λ=?

Step two:

we know that f=1/T

the expression relating period and wave lenght is

v=λ/T

λ=v*T

λ=175*0.002

λ=0.525m

to cm= 0.525*100

=52.5cm

The wavelength of the wave is E) 52.5 cm

You lift a 50 N object 2 meters off the ground what work did you do on the object
mixer [17]
Work equals force × displacement (distance between initial point and end point is displacement)
if u follow this it becomes
work = 50 × 2 which is equal to 100
