Where is potential energy in food stored

1 answer:

6 0

The potential energy is stored in the chemical bonds of the food. When those bonds break up during the metabolic processes, the energy is released. After that, that energy is stored in the Adenosine Triphosphate bonds aka ATP. The simplest way to think is to think of food as the tightly bound atoms. When the chemical bonds between those atoms break, the stored energy in that food is released.

Convert time from 12-hour to 24-hour clock.

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

4:28

Explanation:

4:28am

a 12 hour clock continues going up after 12 (1:00pm=13:00). minutes stay the same. 12:00pm=00:00. this shows 4:28am, so you count 4 after 00:00.

The atomic number of a nucleus decreases during which nuclear reactions?

Goryan [66]

A related type of beta decay actually decreases the atomic number of the nucleus when a proton becomes a neutron. Due to charge conservation, this type of beta decay involves the release of a charged particle called a “positron” that looks and acts like an electron but has a positive charge.

Two blocks of ice, one four times as heavy as the other, are at rest on a frozen lake. A person pushes each block the same dista

qaws [65]

Answer:b

Explanation:

Given

mass of heavy object is 4m

mass of lighter object is m

A person pushes each block with same force F

According to Work Energy theorem Change in kinetic energy of object is equal to Work done by all the object

As launching velocity is same for both the object so heavier mass must possess greater kinetic energy . For same force heavier mass must be pushed 4 times farther than the light block .

$\Delta (K.E.)_H=\frac{1}{2}(4m)v^2$
