Answer:

60J

Explanation:

friction is the opposition to the motion of an object. Before a body can be set in motion, part of the energy or work-done must be used to overcome friction.

While kinetic energy is the energy associated with a body due to its motion.

Since friction tends to oppose the motion of a body,when a body start to move, some of the energy applied to the body to cause its motion is converted to heat due to friction.

Hence if a work-done of 100J is applied to a body that requires 40J of the work to overcome friction, the total change in the kinetic energy can be expressed as

K.E=100J-40J\\K.E=60J\\

In one sentence describe how the electricity in an action potential is generated
vova2212 [387]

Due to influx of potassium ions, electricity is generated in axon of a neuron.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

Axon membrane is the semi permeable membrane that is full of potassium and sodium channels. There’s also Sodium Potassium ATPase pumps. When there’s an impulse coming through the synapse, the potassium channels open. This leads to influx of sodium from outside the membrane to inside it. Then the membrane becomes positive.

Then the electricity is generated and its conducted from one part to another. After the impulse is conducted, the sodium potassium pumps come in action which transports 3 sodium inside and 2 potassium outside in consumption to an ATP.

A light year is approximately 9.5 million km long. 'Barnard's Star' is 6 light years away from Earth. Calculate how many million
hammer [34]

Answer:

6 light years = 57 million km

Explanation:

Given;

A light year = 9.5 million km

To calculate how far is 6 light years;

6 light years = 6 × 1 light year = 6 × 9.5 million km

6 light years = 57 million km

A research submarine can withstand an external pressure of 62 megapascals (million pascals) all the while maintaining a comforta
Alex

Answer:

<em>The depth will be equal to</em> <em>6141.96 m</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

pressure on the submarine P_{sea} = 62 MPa = 62 x 10^6 Pa

we also know that P_{sea} = ρgh

where

ρ is the density of sea water = 1029 kg/m^3

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h is the depth below the water that this pressure acts

substituting values, we have

P_{sea} = 1029 x 9.81 x h = 10094.49h

The gauge pressure within the submarine P_{g} = 101 kPa =  101000 Pa

this gauge pressure is balanced by the atmospheric pressure (proportional to 101325 Pa) that acts on the surface of the sea, so it cancels out.

Equating the pressure P_{sea}, we have

62 x 10^6 = 10094.49h

depth h = <em>6141.96 m</em>
