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.

A pipe open only at one end has a fundamental frequency of 266 Hz. A second pipe, initially identical to the first pipe, is shor
Alika [10]

Answer:

1.16cm were cut off the end of the second pipe

Explanation:

The fundamental frequency in the first pipe is,

<em><u>Since the speed of sound is not given in the question, we would assume it to be 340m/s</u></em>

f1 = v/4L, where v is the speed of sound and L is the length of the pipe

266 = 340/4L

L = 0.31954 m = 0.32 m

It is given that the second pipe is identical to the first pipe by cutting off a portion of the open end. So, consider L’ be the length that was cut from the first pipe.

<u>So, the length of the second pipe is L – L’</u>

Then, the fundamental frequency in the second pipe is

f2 = v/4(L - L’)

<u>The beat frequency due to the fundamental frequencies of the first and second pipe is</u>

f2 – f1 = 10hz

[v/4(L - L’)] – 266 = 10

[v/4(L – L’)] = 10 + 266

[v/4(L – L’)] = 276

(L - L’) = v/(4 x 276)

(L – L’) = 340/(4 x 276)

(L – L’) = 0.30797

L’ = 0.31954 – 0.30797

L’ = 0.01157 m = 1.157 cm ≅ 1.16cm  

Hence, 1.16 cm were cut from the end of the second pipe

A car traveling at 22m/s is in an accident, and the 81 kg driver is brought to a stop in 1.4 s by in inflating airbag. What forc
larisa86 [58]
Here, F = m * a
F = m * v/t
Here, m = 81 Kg
v = 22 m/s
t = 1,4 s

Substitute their values, 
F = 81 * 22/1.4
F = 81 * 15.71
F = 1273 N
So, Closest value from your options is 1300 N

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!

A 18-kg sled is being pulled along the horizontal snow-covered ground by a horizontal force of 30 N. Starting from rest, the sle
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.146

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of sled (m) = 18 kg

Horizontal force (F) = 30 N

FInal speed (v) = 2 m/s

Distance (s) = 8.5 m

Find:

Coefficient of kinetic friction.

Computation:

Initial speed (u) = 0 m/s

v² - u² = 2as

2(8.5)a = 2² - 0²

a = 0.2352 m/s²

Nweton's law of :

F (net) = ma

30N - μf = 18 (0.2352)

30 - 4.2336 = μ(mg)

25.7664 =  μ(18)(9.8)

μ = 0.146

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.146
