How far does a ca4 go

The acclaimed environmental book, Silent Spring, was written by this woman in 1962.

olga_2 [115]

Rachel Carson was the author of the acclaimed environmental book, Silent Spring. The book was published in 1962.
It documented the negative effect that synthetic pesticides have on the environment, specifically on birds.
This book laid bare to the American public what chemical companies indirectly contributed to the environment.
The public furor this book caused led to the reversal of the national pesticide policy, a nationwide ban on DDT for agricultural uses, and inspired the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

What is power?

hammer [34]

We can define power as the rate of doing work, it is the work done in unit time. The SI unit of power is Watt (W) which is joules per second (J/s). Sometimes the power of motor vehicles and other machines are given in terms of Horsepower (hp) which is approximately equal to 745.7 watts.

Power is the rate at which a force is applied to an object for example.current wire

Within the theory of G relativity what, exactly, is meant by " the speed of light WITHIN A VACUUM" ? & what does that have t

Ber [7]

The speed of light "within a vacuum" refers to the speed of electromagnetic radiation propagating in empty space, in the complete absence of matter. This is an important distinction because light travels slower in material media and the theory of relativity is concerned with the speed only in vacuum. In fact, the theory of relativity and the "speed of light" actually have nothing to do with light at all. The theory deals primarily with the relation between space and time and weaves them into an overarching structure called spacetime. So where does the "speed of light" fit into this? It turns out that in order to talk about space and time as different components of the same thing (spacetime) they must have the same units. That is, to get space (meters) and time (seconds) into similar units, there has to be a conversion factor. This turns out to be a velocity. Note that multiplying time by a velocity gives a unit conversion of
$seconds \times \frac{meters}{seconds} =meters$
This is why we can talk about lightyears. It's not a unit of time, but distance light travels in a year. We are now free to define distance as a unit of time because we have a way to convert them.
As it turns out light is not special in that it gets to travel faster than anything else. Firstly, other things travel that fast too (gravity and information to name two). But NO events or information can travel faster than this. Not because they are not allowed to beat light to the finish line---remember my claim that light has nothing to do with it. It's because this speed (called "c") converts space and time. A speed greater than c isn't unobtainable---it simply does not exist. Period. Just like I can't travel 10 meters without actually moving 10 meters, I cannot travel 10 meters without also "traveling" at least about 33 nanoseconds (about the time it takes light to get 10 meters) There is simply no way to get there in less time, anymore than there is a way to walk 10 meters by only walking 5.
We don't see this in our daily life because it is not obvious that space and time are intertwined this way. This is a result of our lives spent at such slow speeds relative to the things around us.
This is the fundamental part to the Special Theory of Relativity (what you called the "FIRST" part of the theory) Here is where Einstein laid out the idea of spacetime and the idea that events (information) itself propagates at a fixed speed that, unlike light, does not slow down in any medium. The idea that what is happening "now" for you is not the same thing as what is "now" for distant observers or observers that are moving relative to you. It's also where he proposed of a conversion factor between space and time, which turned out to be the speed of light in vacuum.

A child's top is held in place upright on a frictionless surface. The axle has a radius of ????=3.21 mm . Two strings are wrappe

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Angular momentum, $L=6.47\times 10^{-3}\ m$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of the axle, $r=3.21\ mm=3.21\times 10^{-3}\ m$

Tension acting on the top, T = 3.15 N

Time taken by the string to unwind, t = 0.32 s

We know that the rate of change of angular momentum is equal to the torque acting on the torque. The relation is given by :

$\tau=\dfrac{dL}{dt}$

Torque acting on the top is given by :

$\tau=F\times r$

Here, F is the tension acting on it. Torque acting on the top is given by :

$\tau=2F\times r$

$2T\times r=\dfrac{L}{t}$

$L=2T\times r \times t$

$L=2\times 3.15\times 3.21\times 10^{-3}\times 0.32$

$L=6.47\times 10^{-3}\ m$

So, the angular momentum acquired by the top is $6.47\times 10^{-3}\ m$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Which of the following would decrease in size during the contraction of a sarcomere? The width of the I-bands The width of the A

ANEK [815]

Hi!

The correct answer would be: the width of I-bands

The sacromere is the smallest contractile unit of striated muscles. These units comprise of filaments (fibrous proteins) that, upon muscle contraction or relaxation, slide past each other. The sacromere consists of thick filaments (myosin) and thin filaments (actin).

Refer to the attached picture to clearly see the structure of a sacromere.

When a sacromere contracts, a series of changes take place which include:

- Shortening of I band, and consequently the H zone

- The A line remains unchanged

- Z lines come closer to each other (and this is due to the shortening of the I bands)

The only changes that take place occur in the zones/areas in the sacromere (as mentioned), not in the filaments (actin and myosin) that make the up the sacromere; hence all other options are wrong.

Hope this helps!
