The box leaves position x=0x=0 with speed v0v0. The box is slowed by a constant frictional force until it comes to rest at posit

ion x=x1x=x1. Find FfFfF_f, the magnitude of the average frictional force that acts on the box. (Since you don't know the coefficient of friction, don't include it in your answer.)

Answer:

Magnitude of the Frictional force = (mv₀²)/2x₁

Explanation:

For the frictional force to stop the box, it has to produce the deceleration of the box; thereby being the opposing force to the box's motion.

According to Newton's first law of motion

Frictional force = (mass of the box) × (deceleration experienced by the box)

Let the mass of the box be m

Then,

Frictional force = ma

Then we can obtain the deceleration using the equations of motion

v² = u² + 2ax

u = Initial velocity = v₀ m/s

v = Final velocity = 0 m/s (since the box comes to rest at the end)

x = horizontal distance covered = (x₁ - x₀) = x₁ (since x₀ = 0)

a = ?

v² = u² + 2ax

0 = (v₀)² + 2ax₁

2ax₁ = - v₀²

a = - (v₀²)/(2x₁) (minus sign, because it's a deceleration)

Magnitude of the Frictional force = ma = (mv₀²)/2x₁

What are the products of linear electron flow during the light reactions of photosynthesis?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

NADPH and ATP

Explanation:

In the clear stage the light that "hits" chlorophyll excites an electron to a higher energy level. In a series of reactions, energy is converted (throughout an electron transport process) into ATP and NADPH. Water breaks down in the process releasing oxygen as a secondary product of the reaction. ATP and NADPH are used to make the C-C bonds in the dark stage.

Photophosphorylation is the process of converting the energy of the electron excited by light into a pyrophosphate bond of an ADP molecule. This occurs when water electrons are excited by light in the presence of P680. The energy transfer is similar to the chemosmotic electron transport that occurs in the mitochondria.

Light energy causes the removal of an electron from a P680 molecule that is part of Photosystem II, the electron is transferred to an acceptor molecule (primary acceptor), and then passes downhill to Photosystem I through a conveyor chain of electrons The P680 requires an electron that is taken from the water by breaking it into H + ions and O-2 ions. These O-2 ions combine to form O2 that is released into the atmosphere.

The light acts on the P700 molecule of Photosystem I, causing an electron to be raised to a higher potential. This electron is accepted by a primary acceptor (different from the one associated with Photosystem II).

The electron goes through a series of redox reactions again, and finally combines with NADP + and H + to form NADPH, a carrier of H needed in the independent phase of light.

Electron of photosystem II replaces the excited electron of the P700 molecule.

There is therefore a continuous flow of electrons (non-cyclic) from water to NADPH, which is used for carbon fixation.

Cyclic electron flow occurs in some eukaryotes and in photosynthetic bacteria. NADPH does not occur, only ATP. This also occurs when the cell requires additional ATP, or when there is no NADP + to reduce it to NADPH.

In Photosystem II, the "pumping" of H ions into the thylakoids (from the stroma of the chloroplast) and the conversion of ADP + P to ATP is motorized by an electron gradient established in the thylakoid membrane.

Define Plateau period.

A plateau period refers to a period in life where you are kind of stuck in the middle. There is little growth or decline so you are kind of at a standstill.

If 34.7 g of O2 reacts with iron to form 79.34 g of iron oxide, how much iron was used in the reaction?
zhuklara [117]

Answer: B. 44.64 g

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Mass of reactants = mass of iron + mass of oxygen = mass of iron + 34.7 g

Mass of product = mass of iron oxide = 79.34 g

As Mass of reactants = Mass of product

mass of iron + 34.7 g = 79.34 g

mass of iron = 44.64 g

Thus 44.64 g of iron was used in the reaction

irius, the brightest star in the sky, is 2.6 parsecs (8.6 light-years) from Earth, giving it a parallax of 0.379 arcseconds. Ano
Norma-Jean [14]

The actual distance of Regulus from Earth is 23.81 parsecs.

Given:

Parallax of Regulus, p = 0.042 arc seconds

Calculation:

When an observer changes their position, an apparent change in the object's position takes place. This change can be calculated using the angle ( or semi-angle) made by the observer and object i.e. the angle made between the two lines of observation from the object to the observer.

Thus from the relation of parallax of a celestial body we get:

S = 1/ tan p ≈ 1 / p

where S is the actual distance between the object and the observer

            p is the parallax angle observed

Here for Regulus, we get:

S = 1 / p

  = 1 / (0.042)                                     [ 1 parsecs = 1 arcseconds ]

  = 23.81 parsecs

We know that,

1 parsecs = 3.26 light-years = 206,000 AU

Converting the actual distance into light years we get:

23.81 parsecs = 23.81 × (3.26 light yrs) = 77.658 light-years

Therefore, the actual distance of Regulus from Earth is 23.81 parsecs which is 77.658 in light years.
