Answer:

(A) Force on the object will be 58.85 N

(B) Apparent weight will be equal to 57.21 N

Explanation:

We have given mass of Neptune m = 1026 kg

Radius R = 25000 Km

Time period = 16 hour

We know that 1 hour = 3600 sec

So 16 hour = 16×86400 = 57600 sec

Acceleration due to gravity at north pole of Neptune $g=10.7m/sec^2$

(A) Mass of the object m = 5.5 kg

So gravitational force on the object $F_g=mg=5.5\times 10.7=58.85N$

(B) Velocity will be equal to $v=\frac{2\pi R}{T}=\frac{2\times 3.14\times25000\times 1000}{57600}=2725.694m/sec$

Apparent weight of the object will be equal to $w=f_g-\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$W=58.85-\frac{5.5\times (2725.694)^2}{25000\times 1000}=57.21N$

2. Which statement is correct about the Krebs cycle?

IRINA_888 [86]

The correct option is

a. Acetyl-CoA combines with a pyruvic acid to make glucose in the Krebs cycle.

Explanation:

The Krebs citric acid cycle happens within the mitochondrial matrix and generates a pool of energy (ATP, NADH, and FADH2) from the oxidization of pyruvate, the tip product of metabolism. Pyruvate is transported into the mitochondria and loses dioxide to make acetyl-CoA, a 2-carbon molecule.

Imagine you have just witnessed a small avalanche on a mountain while skiing, and two slushy snowballs just crashed together in

inn [45]

We have that the momentum p is given by the formula p=mv where m is the mass and v is the velocity. Since for A p=-14kgm/s and m=7, we have that the velocity is -14/7=-2m/s. Hence its speed is 2 m/s.
For b we have that p=15kgm/s and v=3m/s. Because m=p/v, we have m=3kg.
We also have that the momentum is conserved in this system. Hence, the net sum of the momentum of the 2 snowballs equals the momentum of the single giant ball. Hence, p(total)=p(combined)=-14+15=1kgm/s (momentum is a vector; the positive sign means that it tends to the positive direction).

Josh did an experiment recording the changes in temperature in sand and water when exposed to a light source, and then when the

Marrrta [24]

Before going to solve this question first we have to understand specific heat capacity of a substance .

The specific heat of a substance is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance through one degree Celsius. Let us consider a substance whose mass is m.Let Q amount of heat is given to it as a result of which its temperature is raised from T to T'.

Hence specific heat of a substance is calculated as-

$c= \frac{Q}{m[T'-T]}$

Here c is the specific heat capacity.

The substance whose specific heat capacity is more will take more time to be heated up to a certain temperature as compared to a substance having low specific heat which is to be heated up to the same temperature.

As per the question John is experimenting on sand and water.Between sand and water,water has the specific heat 1 cal/gram per degree centigrade which is larger as compared to sand.Hence sand will be heated faster as compared to water.The substance which is heated faster will also cools faster.

From this experiment John concludes that water has more specific heat as compared to sand.

Two separate masses on two separate springs undergo simple harmonic motion indefinitely (the surface is frictionless). In CASE 1

Artemon [7]

Answer:

$\frac{F_1}{F_2} =\frac{1}{2}$

Explanation:

Assuming the we have to find ratio maximum forces on the mass in each case

we know that in a spring mass system

F= Kx

K= spring constant

x= spring displacement

Case 1:

$F_1=2k\times d$

case 2:

$F_2=2k\times 2d$

therefore, $\frac{F_1}{F_2} = \frac{2K\times d}{2K\times 2d}$

$\frac{F_1}{F_2} =\frac{1}{2}$
