One kind of potential energy is elastic potential energy. This is the kind of energy present in a rubber band that is stretched.

When the rubber band is released, the elastic potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Elastic potential energy is also present in a muscle that is contracted, or tensed.
The diaphragm is a large muscle that is used to breathe. Contracting the diaphragm causes air to move into the lungs. When the diaphragm is relaxed, air moves out of the lungs as _______ is converted to kinetic energy.
A.
chemical potential energy
B.
light energy
C.
elastic potential energy
D.
heat energy

Answer:

C.  Elastic potential energy

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, as well as the example of the rubber, when we breath, the diaphragm is contracted so the elastic potential energy is starting accumulating there, that is why we could hold the air into our lungs. Consequently, when air is released such energy in converted into kinetic energy since it was previously formed and then released.

Best regards.

What is the role of meteorites in the formation of life?
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Meteorites are consensually considered to be involved in the origin of life on this Planet for several functions and at different levels: (i) as providers of impact energy during their passage through the atmosphere; (ii) as agents of geodynamics, intended both as starters of the Earth’s tectonics and as activators of local hydrothermal systems upon their fall; (iii) as sources of organic materials, at varying levels of limited complexity; and (iv) as catalysts.

What are the major specials presents in a solution of a strong acid like HCl
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

hydrogen ions (H⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻)

Explanation:

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong acid. That means that the compound dissociates completely into ions when is dissolved in water, as follows:

HCl → H⁺ + Cl⁻

The equilibrium is completely shifted to the right side (products). Thus, it is considered that the concentration of the non-dissociated compound (HCl) is negligible, and the major specials present in the solution are the hydrogen ions (H⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻).

How many ATOMS are in 5 grams of NaCl?
Bond [772]

Molar mass of sodium chloride is 22.99 g/mol (Na+) + 35.45 g/mol (Cl-) = x g/mol. Then take the mass of sodium chloride sample 5 grams and divide by molar mass to get the number of moles. Take this number and multiply it by Avogadro’s number (6.22*10^23 molecules/mol). You now have the amount of molecules in 5 grams of NaCl.
