haha I used to think biology was so hard, i find it quite easy now.
Okay, so basically Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Diffusion is generally the movement of a gradient from higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis applies to water only, whereas diffusion, you have many types such as Passive transport [ movement of molecules from high- low, NO CELLULAR ENERGY needed! ] then you have faciliated diffusion ( basically uses a channel protein to allow big substances to go through the membrane : NO ENERGY needed]
OSMOSIS, the important thing to remember is that water ALWAYS flow towards the region with the higher concentration of the solute (ex: Salt is solute, water is solvent) solute is the thing that is being dissolved. Solvent is the one doing the dissolving. Hope this helped!

The numbers represent the beats in each measure
The arrows represent the direction of movement between beats
The word out represents a movement away from your body.
The word in represents a movement towards the center of your body.

If you travel from Yakima to Ellensburg (Yakima to Ellensburg is 50 miles) with a speed of 60 miles/hour for half of the

koban [17]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \frac{480}{7}\approx 68.6\; \rm mph$ .

Explanation:

The average speed of an object is equal to total distance over total time.

Distance traveled: $\rm 50 \; mi$ .

How much time is taken? This trip is divided into two halves, each of distance $\displaystyle \frac{50}{2} = 25\;\rm mi$ .

Time spent on the first half of the trip:

$\displaystyle t_1 = \frac{s_1}{v_1} = \frac{25}{60} = \frac{5}{12}\; \rm hours$ .

Similarly, time spent on the second half of the trip:

$\displaystyle t_2 = \frac{s_2}{v_2} = \frac{25}{80} = \frac{5}{16}\; \rm hours$ .

In total:

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{12} + \frac{5}{16} = \frac{35}{48} \; \rm hours$ .

Average speed:

$\begin{aligned} \text{Average speed} &= \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}}\\ &= 50 \left/\frac{35}{48}\right.\\ &= 50 \cdot \frac{48}{35} \\&= \frac{480}{7}\approx 68.6\; \rm mph \end{aligned}$ .

This value turned out to be slightly different from the average of the speed during the two halves of the journey. The reason is that the object traveled at each speed for a different amount of time. It spent more time at the slower speed, which gives that speed a greater weight in the average. That explains why the average speed is closer to $\rm 60\; mph$ rather than $\rm 80\; mph$ .

Why do you think more people give importance to their body than their mind?

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

More people give more importance to their body because they want to be liked and fit in. They would rather fail in school and mess up their education to show off their body to be one of those cool kids in school.

Skater 1 has a mass of 105.0 kg and a velocity of 2.0 m/s to the left. He

mart [117]

The final velocity of skater 1 is 3.7 m/s to the right. The right option is O A. 3.7 m/s to the right.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

Velocity can be defined as the ratio of the displacement and time of a body.

To calculate the final velocity of Skater 1 we use the formula below.

Formula:

mu+MU = mv+MV............ Equation 1

Where:

m = mass of the first skater
M = mass of the second skater
u = initial velocity of the first skater
U = initial velocity of the second skater
v = final velocity of the first skater
V = final velocity of the second skater.

make v the subject of the equation.

v = (mu+MU-MV)/m................ Equation 2

Note: Let left direction represent negative and right direction represent positive.

From the question,

Given:

m = 105 kg
u = -2 m/s
M = 71 kg
U = 5 m/s
V = -3.4 m/s.

Substitute these values into equation 2

v = [(105×(-2))+(71×5)-(71×(-3.4))]/105
v = (-210+355+241.4)/105
v = 386.4/105
v = 3.68 m/s
v ≈ 3.7 m/s

Hence, the final velocity of skater 1 is 3.7 m/s to the right. The right option is O A. 3.7 m/s to the right.

A mass m at the end of a spring vibrates with a frequency

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

m = 0.59 kg.

Explanation:

First, we need to find the relation between the frequency and mass on a spring.

The Hooke's law states that

$F = -kx$

And Newton's Second Law also states that

$F = ma = m\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}$

Combining two equations yields

$a = -\frac{k}{m}x$

The term that determines the proportionality between acceleration and position is defined as angular frequency, ω.

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

And given that ω = 2πf

the relation between frequency and mass becomes

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ .

Let's apply this to the variables in the question.

$0.88 = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\0.60 = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m+0.68}}\\\frac{0.88}{0.60} = \frac{\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}}{\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m+0.68}}}\\1.4667 = \frac{\sqrt{m+0.68}}{\sqrt{m}}\\2.15m = m + 0.68\\1.15m = 0.68\\m = 0.59~kg$
