Please explain in detail why it is possible to estimate, to a good approximation, the energy derived from a sugar cube in the bo

dy, by doing laboratory experiments. Obviously the mechanisms are completely different and your answer should address this issue.

The reactions that are carried out on sugar within are body are very similar to the reaction of combustion. The reactants used and the product formed are the same in the aerobic respiration reaction. Therefore, it is possible to estimate the energy released by the sugar in the body by finding out the energy released when the sugar is burned. Despite the products arising from different pathways with different mechanisms, the reactants and products being the same means that the energy released will be similar.

The diagram shows two forces of equal magnitude acting on an object. If the common magnitude of the forces is 3.6 N and the angl
Nuetrik [128]
<h3>Answer</h3>

6.6 N pointing to the right

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Given that,

two forces acting of magnitude 3.6N

angle between them = 48°

To find,

the third force that will cause the object to be in equilibrium

<h3>1)</h3>

Find the vertical and horizontal components of the two forces

vertical force1 = sin(24)(3.6)

vertical force2= -sin(24)(3.6)

<em>(negative sign since it is acting on opposite direction)</em>

vertical force3 = sin(24)(3.6) - sin(24)(3.6)

                        = 0

<h3>2)</h3>

horizontal force1 = cos(24)(3.6)

horizontal force2= cos(24)(3.6)

horizontal force3 = cos(24)(3.6) + cos(24)(3.6)

                            = 2(cos(24)(3.6))

                            = 6.5775 N

                            ≈ 6.6 N

A car travels at uniform acceleration over a tine interval of 20.0s. its initial velocity is 11.0m/s and its final velocity is 3
SIZIF [17.4K]

Since the acceleration is uniform, we can calculate it from the data we are given:

a = (vf - vi)/2

where vf=33 m/s and vi=11 m/s

Then use Suvat's equation:

x(t) = vi*t + 0.5 * a * t

where t=20s

Technician A says that vacuum-operated fuel pressure regulators maintain an equal pressure drop across the fuel injectors all th
yuradex [85]

Answer:

C) Both technicians A and B

Explanation:

Fuel pressure regulators are a vacuum operated spring-loaded diaphragm that enables a vehicle's fuel delivery system to maintain a constant pressure. When the vehicle is at idle the regulator is open allowing fuel to bypass the delivery system and go back into the tank.

In pounds per square inch, the atmosphere exerts 14.7 PSI at sea level on average. The vacuum inside an engine's intake manifold, by comparison, can range from zero up to 22 inches Hg or more depending on operating conditions. Vacuum at idle is always high and typically ranges from 16 to 20 inches Hg in most vehicles.

A 30-kg shopping cart full of groceries sitting at the top of
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

0.0102 m or 1 cm

Explanation:

Let g = 10m/s2

The potential energy of the shopping cart of the top of the hill is:

E_p = mgh = 30*9.8*2 = 600 J

When the cart gets to the bottom of the hill, all this potential energy is converted to kinetic energy:

E_k = mv^2/2 = 600 J

v^2 = \frac{600*2}{30} = 40

v = \sqrt{39.2} = 6.324 m/s

As the cart stop due to the stump, the can of peaches flies with the same speed.

By Newton's 3rd law, the car would exert a 490N force on the can too

The deceleration of the can would then be:

a = F/m = 490/0.25 = 1960 m/s^2

This force would stop the can, but not without making a dent, aka a traveled distance on the car skin

We can use the following equation of motion to find out the distance traveled by the can:

v^2 - v_0^2 = 2a\Delta s

where v = 0 m/s is the final velocity of the can when it stops, v_0^2 = 40m/s is the initial velocity of the can when it hits, a = -1960 m/s2 is the deceleration of the can, and \Delta s is the distance traveled, which we care looking for:

0 - 40 = 2*(-1960)*\Delta s

\Delta s = \frac{40}{2*1960} = 0.0102 m or 1 cm
