How can oxygen enter the lungs?

Physics

Oksanka [162]3 years ago
6 0
I just got this question not to long ago but to answer your question the primary function of the respiratory system is to exchange oxygen<span> and carbon dioxide. Inhaled </span>oxygen enters the lungs<span> and reaches the alveoli. </span>Oxygen<span> passes quickly through this air-blood barrier into the blood in the capillaries. Similarly, carbon dioxide passes from the blood into the alveoli and is then exhaled.</span>

Suppose that on a routine trip around the galaxy, your dog puts his head out of the spacecraft window (as dogs often do). The so
neonofarm [45]

Answer: Yes, the dog's head will burn

Explanation:Solar winds are strongly destructive magnetically charged high energy winds. Satellite communication on earth and the occasional geomagnetic storm near the poles are the major disruptive effects caused by solar winds on earth.

Since solar winds are streams of charged particles released from the upperparts of the Sun, called the "corona". This plasma mainly consists of electrons, protons and alpha particles with kinetic energy between 0.5 and 10 keV. Instilled within the solar-wind plasma is the interplanetary magnetic field.

If the dog holds it's breath the heat wave would burn it's head but not outrightly because the breath has ceased for some seconds and it can't absorb the much heat of the solar wind into it's nostrils. The effect of holding its breath would still be disastrous but not as the first case.

A massless rod is attached to the ceiling by a string. Two weights are hung from the rod: a 0.4-lb weight at its left end and a
user100 [1]

The tension in the string supporting the rod and the attached weights is 7.11 N.

<h3>Tension in the string supporting the rod</h3>

The tension in the string supporting the rod and the attached weights is the sum of the weights supported by the strings.

T = (m1 + m2)g

where;

  • m1 and m2 are the two masses supported

0.4lb + 1.2lb = 1.6lb = 0.725 kg

T = 0.725 x 9.8

T = 7.11 N

Atoms are split at power plant to create electricity*
Rudiy27

Answer:

B. Nuclear to Electrical

Explanation:

Atoms are split at power plants to create electricity. The energy conversion in this process is from nuclear to electrical energy.

  • When atoms are split, nuclear energy is released.
  • Some part of the mass of the atom is converted to energy.
  • The nuclear energy released is expressed as heat energy.
  • This energy is used to heat water in boilers when produces steam that are used to drive the movement of turbines.
  • This in turn generates electricity.
