Answer:

The pineal gland is a pea-shaped small gland located deep in the center of the brain. Some hormones like melatonin are regulated by the pineal gland. It plays role in maintaining body clock that is sleep patterns which are also known as circadian rhythms. The female hormone levels are also regulated by the pineal gland. This effects fertility and the menstrual cycle.

Energy transformation in wound spring of a toy car?<br>give your own answrr

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The work done in winding the spring gets stored in the wound up spring in the form of elastic potential energy (i.e potential energy due to change in shape). ... During this process, the potential energy stored in it gets converted to kinetic energy. This turns the wheels of the toy car.

A non-conducting sphere of radius R = 3.0 cm carries a charge Q = 2.0 mC distributed uniformly throughout its volume. At what di

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

$r =3 *\sqrt{2} = 4.24 cm$

Explanation:

given data

Radius of sphere 3.0 cm

charge Q = 2.0 m C

We know that maximum electric field is given as

$E_{MAX}= \frac{KQ}{r^{2}}$

electric field inside the sphere can be determine by using below relation

$\frac{KQ}{r^{2}}= \frac{1}{2}*\frac{KQ}{R^{2}}$

$r = \sqrt{2}R$

$r =3 *\sqrt{2} = 4.24 cm$

Predict using Boyle's law, what will happen to a balloon that an ocean diver takes to a pressure of 202 kPa.

kobusy [5.1K]

The volume of the balloon will halve

Explanation:

Boyle's law states that for an ideal gas kept at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is proportional to its volume. Mathematically,

$pV=const.$

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume

The equation can also be rewritten as

$p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2$

And if we apply it to the gas inside the balloon in this problem (assuming its temperature is constant), we have:

$p_1 = 101 kPa$ is the initial pressure at sea level (the atmospheric pressure)

$V_1$ is the initial volume

$p_2 = 202 kPa$ is the final pressure

$V_2$ is the final volume

Substituting into the equation, we find:

$V_2 = \frac{p_1 V_1}{p_2}=\frac{(101)V_1}{202}=\frac{V_1}{2}$

Which means that the volume of the balloon will halve.

A hose directs a horizontal jet of water, moving with a velocity of 20m/s, on to a vertical wall. The

just olya [345]

Force is defined as the rate of change of momentum.
The initial amount of momentum is $mv$ because water stops when it hit the wall total change of momentum must be $\Delta p=mv$ .
Now let's calculate the force.
$F= \frac{dp}{dt}=\frac{d(mv)}{dt}=\frac{dm}{dt}v$
We need to find $\frac{dm}{dt}$ . This is the amount of water hiting the wall per second.
$\frac{dm}{dt}=\rho Av$
Our final formula would be:
$F=\rho Avv=\rho Av^2$
And now we can calculate the answer:
$F=1000\cdot5\cdot 10^{-4}\cdot(20)^2=200 N$
