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.

The temperature of 2.0 g of helium is increased at constant volume by ΔT. What mass of oxygen can have its temperature increased

gavmur [86]

Answer:

m = 9.6 g

Explanation:

Thermal energy given to helium gas at constant volume is given as

$Q = nC_v \Delta T$

so here we have

$C_v = \frac{3}{2}R$

$n = moles$

$n = \frac{2}{4} = 0.5$

so we have

$Q = \frac{3}{2}R(0.5)\Delta T$

now we know that

for oxygen gas we have

$C_v = \frac{5}{2}R$

for same amount of heat we have

$Q = nC_v \Delta T'$

$\frac{3}{2}R(0.5)\Delta T = \frac{m}{32} (\frac{5R}{2}) \Delta T$

$m = \frac{0.75 \times 32}{2.5}$

$m = 9.6 g$

some fuel cells are powered by hydrogen. scientists are looking into the decomposition of water (h2o) to make hydrogen fuel with

sesenic [268]

Answer : First of all, to harness the solar energy and utilize it for the decomposition of water to make hydrogen fuel cell seems to be easy but practically it has many hurdles in its way. It might not work well, when the days would not be sunny. Also, the production of hydrogen fuel would require decomposing water which may need a high energy of activation, which would be more than the energy that will be produced from the fuel cell.

A car of mass 500 kg is moving at a speed of 1.2 m/s. A man pushes the car, increasing the speed to 2 m/s. How much work did the

Vikki [24]

Answer:

Option B - 360 J

Explanation:

One of the formulas used to find out how much work was done is :

E = 0.5×m×v² (where m is the mass and v is the velocity)

Now we substitute values from the question and simplify :

E = 0.5×500×1.2²

E = 250×1.2²

E = 250×1.44

E = 360 J

So our answer is Option B

Hope this helped and have a good day
