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.

how much is need to lift a load of 100n placed at a distance of 29 cm from fulcrum if effort is applied at 60cm from the fulcrum

dangina [55]

Answer:

206.8965517 n

Explanation:

First, we need to see that 60:29 is 2.078965517:1. Then we need to multiply the energy put 29 cm from the fulcrum by 2.078965517, giving us the end result of our answer.

Find the net charge of a system consisting of 206 electrons and 161 protons. Express your answer using two significant figures.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

-72\times 10^{-19}C[/tex]

Explanation:

Both electron and proton have the same amount of charge but signs are opposite , electron contains negative charge and proton contain positive charge

Charge on 1 electron = $-1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

So charge on 206 electron $=-206\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

Charge on 1 proton = $-1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

So charge on 161 electron $=-106\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

So charge of the system = $(-206+161)\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

$=-72\times 10^{-19}C$

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The effects that certain frequencies of EMR have when absorbed by matter is explained below in complete detail.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiation of distinct frequencies associates with material adversely. ... Gamma rays, though commonly of somewhat greater frequency than X rays have the equivalent creation. When the power of gamma rays is consumed in material, its influence is practically indistinguishable from the outcome generated by X rays.
