Where is potential energy in food stored

Physics
1 answer:
AlexFokin [52]2 years ago
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.

Where do organisms obtain the energy they need
rodikova [14]

Answer:

autotrophs and heterotrophs. Autotrophs (producers) use energy directly from the sun or from chemicals to produce organic molecules. Photoautotrophs such as plants use energy from sunlight to make organic compounds by photosynthesis.

Which of the following is a contact force?
Nutka1998 [239]
The contact force is indeed caused by "Contact". 

Air resistance is basically a type of friction, which is apparently present providing two object contact.

The rest selections are all interaction force, which is not necessarily caused by contact.

9. Calculate the distance (in km) that Charlie runs if he maintains the average
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

<u>Correct Question:</u>

Calculate the distance (in km) charlie runs if he maintains an average speed of 8 km/hr for 1 hour

<u>Answer:</u>

The total distance covered by Charlie is 8 km in 1 hour.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The average velocity as given in the question is,

v = 8 km/hr

Total time taken,

$t=1 hour

As we know the formula to evaluate the total distance d when the average velocity and time is given;

v=\frac{d}{t}

d=v \times t

d=8 \times 1

d=8 k m

Hence, the total distance covered by Charlie in 1 hour will be 8 km.

If a proton were released from rest at the sphere's surface, what would be its speed far from the sphere?
balu736 [363]

Let the sphere is having charge Q and radius R

Now if the proton is released from rest

By energy conservation we can say

U = K

\frac{kQe}{R} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

\frac{2kQe}{mR} = v^2

now take square root of both sides

v =\sqrt{\frac{2kQe}{mR}}

so the proton will move by above speed and

here Q = charge on the sphere

R = radius of sphere

k = 9 * 10^9

A small package is attached to a helium-filled balloon rising at 2 m/s. The package drops from the balloon when it is 14 meters
scZoUnD [109]
I would assume air resistance is negligible and so the acceleration of the package would be approximately 9.81 m/s².

Taking downwards as positive, use v²=u²+2as.
v²=(-2)²+2(9.81)(14)
v=16.7 m/s
