The muscles convert the stored chemical energy into mechanical energy

pshichka [43]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer would be C) mechanical energy.

The muscles harness the energy from the food that is, the chemical energy and convert it into the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is also a chemical energy.

The ATP are then used by the muscles as the source of energy for the movements such as locomotion that is, mechanical energy.

Suppose you took a trip to the moon. Write a paragraph describing how and why your weight would change. Would your mass change t

Darina [25.2K]

Your mass wouldn’t change, but your weight would. Weight depends on the force of gravity however mass does not. When you land on the moon, your mass is the same as it was on the earth but weight will drop

The density of aluminum is 2.70 g/ml. A piece of aluminum foil has a mass of 44 g. What is the volume of this piece of aluminum

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

C) 16.3 ml

Explanation:

Density is equal to the ratio between the mass of an object and its volume:

$d=\frac{m}{V}$

where

m is the mass

V is the volume

In our problem, we know:

- density of aluminium: $d=2.70 g/mL$

- mass of the aluminium foil: $m=44 g$

So we can re-arrange the equation above and use these data to find the volume of the piece of aluminium foil:

$V=\frac{m}{d}=\frac{44 g}{2.70 g/mL}=16.3 mL$

Ultraviolet radiation is dangerous because it has a high enough energy to damage skin cells. UV radiation is called ultraviolet

BabaBlast [244]

Answer: smaller

Ultraviolet radiation has broad range of wavelengths, higher number means greater risk of exposure to UV rays that can be dangerous to skin cells. Sunlight is the main source of electromagnetic radiation and it is transmitted in different wavelengths known as electromagnetic spectrum. This spectrum is divided into several regions in order of decreasing wavelength and increasing energy and frequency. UV radiation has frequency and energy that is higher than purple light or violet radiation and the wavelength of ultraviolet radiation is smaller than violet radiation.

Answer:

Magnitude of the resulting force on the 7 nC charge at the origin:

Fn₁= 23.95*10⁻⁹ N

Explanation:

Look at the attached graphic:

Charges of positive signs exert repulsive forces on q₁ + and charges of negative signs exert attractive forces on q₁ +.

q₁ experiences three forces (F₂₁,F₃₁,F₄₁) and we calculate them with Coulomb's law:

F = (k*q₁*q)/(d)²

$d_{12} = \sqrt{3^{2}+3^{2} } = \sqrt{18}$ m : distance from q₁ to q₂

(d₁₂)² = 18 m²

$d_{13} =\sqrt{1^{2}+3^{2} } = \sqrt{10}$ m : distance from q₁ to q₃

(d₁₃)² = 10 m²

$d_{14} =\sqrt{3^{2}+2^{2} } = \sqrt{13}$ m : distance from q₁ to q₄

(d₁₄)² = 13 m²

K= 8.98755 × 10⁹ N *m²/C²

q₁= 7*10⁻⁹C

k*q₁=8.98755*10⁹ *7*10⁻⁹= 62.9

F₂₁= (62.9)*(9* 10⁻⁹) /(18) = 31.45*10⁻⁹ C

F₃₁= (62.9)*(7* 10⁻⁹) /(10) = 44*10⁻⁹ C

F₄₁= (62.9)*(8* 10⁻⁹) /(13) = 38.7*10⁻⁹ C

x-y components of the net force on q₁ (Fn₁):

α= tan⁻¹(3/3)= 45° , β= tan⁻¹(3/1)= 71.56° , θ= tan⁻¹(2/3)= 33.69°

Fn₁x = F₂₁x+ F₃₁x+F₄₁x

F₂₁x =+ F₂₁*cosα =+ (31.45*10⁻⁹)* (cos 45°) = +22.24 *10⁻⁹ N

F₃₁x= -F₃₁*cosβ = - ( 44*10⁻⁹)* (cos 71.56°) = -13.91 *10⁻⁹ N

F₄₁x= -F₄₁*cosθ = -(38.7*10⁻⁹)* (cos 33.69°) = -32.2*10⁻⁹ N

Fn₁x = (+22.24 - 13.91 - 32.2)*10⁻⁹ N

Fn₁x = -23.87 *10⁻⁹ N

Fn₁y = F₂₁y+ F₃₁y+F₄₁y

F₂₁x =+ F₂₁*sinα =+ (31.45*10⁻⁹)* (sin 45°) = +22.24 *10⁻⁹ N

F₃₁x= -F₃₁*sinβ = - ( 44*10⁻⁹)* (sin 71.56°) = -41.74 *10⁻⁹ N

F₄₁x= +F₄₁*sinθ = +(38.7*10⁻⁹)* (sin 33.69°) =+21.47*10⁻⁹ N

Fn₁y = (22.24 -41.74+21.47)*10⁻⁹ N

Fn₁y = 1.97*10⁻⁹ N

Magnitude of the resulting force on the 7 nC charge at the origin (q₁):

$F_{n1} =\sqrt{(Fn_{1x} )^{2}+(Fn_{1y} )^{2} }$

$F_{n1} =\sqrt{(23.87 )^{2}+(1.97 )^{2} }$

Fn₁= 23.95*10⁻⁹ N

Instantaneous velocity, on the other hand, describes the motion of a body at one particular moment in time. Acceleration is a vector which shows the direction and magnitude of changes in velocity. Its standard units are meters per second per second, or meters per second squared. (this is for number 3)
