Chemistry for Biologists: Some basic chemistry
Some basic chemistry
Living organisms and chemistry
Biology is about living things - organisms. All living organisms are made of chemicals. To understand biological substances and the changes that take place in living organisms you need a good knowledge of the underlying chemistry. We will build up a picture of the chemicals that make up living organisms by starting small and getting bigger.
The starting point is atoms - the building blocks of all matter. We will then look at how these come together to make elements and compounds.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
kinetic energy (KE) is the energy possessed by moving bodies. It can be expressed as:
KE = 
m
Where: m is the mass of the object, and v its speed.
For example, a stone of mass 2kg was thrown and moves with a speed of 3 m/s. Determine the kinetic energy of the stone.
Thus,
KE = x 2 x 
= 9
KE = 9.0 Joules
Assume that the speed of the stone was 4 m/s, then its KE would be:
KE = x 2 x 
= 16
KE = 16.0 Joules
Therefore, it can be observed that as speed increases, the kinetic energy increases. Thus option B is appropriate.
Answer:
B)
The magnitude of induced emf in the conducting loop is 0.99 mV.
Explanation:
Rate of increase in magnetic field per unit time = 0.090 T/s
Area of the conducting loop = 110 cm^2 = 0.0110 m^2
Electromagnetic induction is the production of an emf or voltage in a coil of wire due to a changing magnetic field through the coil.
Induced e.m.f is given as:
EMF = (-N*change in magnetic field/time)*Area
EMF = rate of change of magnetic field per unit time * Area
EMF = 0.090 * 0.0110
EMF = 0.00099 V
EMF = 0.99 mV
Sound travels fastest through matter in the <em>solid state</em>.
I know this from having answered a huge number of Brainly questions that required me to look up things like this:
-- Speed of sound in air . . . about 340 m/s
-- Speed of sound in sea-water . . . about 1,500 m/s
-- Speed of sound in steel . . . about 5,960 m/s
