A. a large amount of energy released into its surrounding

During the respiration, glucose molecules are converted to other molecules in a series of steps. They finally end up as as carbon-dioxide and water.

The overall reaction is

<span>C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + 2805 kJ
</span>
The reaction is exothermic reaction because <span>C=O and O-H bonds in the products are so much more stable than the bonds in the reactants.
</span>
Bond energy is the average needed to break a bond.

Some bond energies are:
C-C = 347 kJ/mol
C-H = 413kJ/mol;
C-O = 358 kJ/mol;
O-H = 467 kJ/mol;
O=O = 495 kJ/mol;
<span>C=O = 799 kJ/mol</span>

Respiration is an exothermic reaction because a large amount of energy is released into it's surroundings, which is B. An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases heat or energy into it's surroundings. During respiration, energy is released into the surrounding. Therefore it is an exothermic reaction. An endothermic reaction on the other hand takes in heat or energy from it's surrounding. Hope i helped.

A research group at Dartmouth College has developed a Head Impact Telemetry (HIT) System that can be used to collect data about
Olin [163]

Answer:

6.05 cm

Explanation:

The given equation is

2 aₓ(x-x₀)=( Vₓ²-V₀ₓ²)

The initial head velocity V₀ₓ =11 m/s

The final head velocity  Vₓ is 0

The accelerationis given by =1000 m/s²

the stopping distance = x-x₀=?

So we can wind the stopping distance by following formula

2 (-1000)(x-x₀)=[0^{2} -11^{2}]

x-x₀=6.05*10^{-2} m

       =6.05 cm

When a solid is placed in a container and heat is applied, a phase change occurs. Watch the video and identify which of the foll
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

a) false b) true c) true d) false and e) true

Explanation:

a) false.   All the energy applied is used for the phase change, so the temperature remains constant.

b)   true.   The kinetic energy is associated with the speed of the particles and they have more mobility in the liquid, therefore, more kinetic energy.

c)   true.   Since energy is used for state change

d)  false.   In general, mobility and temperature are proportional

e)  true.  Heat is the source of energy for the change of state

A rocket is fired at 100 m/s at an angle of 37, how many seconds did it take to get to the top?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

6.14 s

Explanation:

The time the rocket takes to reach the top is only determined from its vertical motion.

The initial vertical velocity of the rocket is:

u_y = u sin \theta = (100)(sin 37^{\circ})=60.2 m/s

where

u = 100 m/s is the initial speed

\theta=37^{\circ} is the angle of launch

Now we can apply the suvat equation for an object in free-fall:

v_y = u_y +gt

where

v_y is the vertical velocity at time t

g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

The rocket reaches the top when

v_y =0

So by substituting into the equation, we find the time t at which this happens:

t=-\frac{u_y}{g}=-\frac{60.2}{-9.8}=6.14 s

A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, heading due north at 8.00 m/s relative to the water. The local ocean current i
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The velocity of the ship relative to the earth V = 9.05 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The local ocean current is  = 1.52 m/s

Direction \theta = 40°

Velocity component in X - direction V_{x} = 1.52 \cos 40°

V_{x} = 1.164 \frac{m}{s}

Velocity component in Y - direction V_{y} = 8 + 1.52 \sin 40°

V_{y} = 8.97 \frac{m}{s}

The velocity of the ship relative to the earth

V = \sqrt{V_{x}^{2} + V_{y} ^{2}  }

Put the values of V_{x} and V_{y} we get,

⇒ V = \sqrt{1.164^{2} + 8.97 ^{2}  }

⇒ V = 9.05 \frac{m}{s}

This is the velocity of the ship relative to the earth.
