The function of a cell depends primarily on its ?

1 answer:

8 0

Organelles which are very important in giving nutrients. During cellular respiration, the food molecules such as glucose, are oxidized to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) and trapped in ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) form for further us of cell’s activities. ATP’s are formed at mitochondria – the cell’s powerhouse. This type of organelle takes and breaks nutrients absorbed by the cell and creates energy afterward. The energy from ATP is then used by the body in kinetic activities like running & walking or involuntary activities like breathing, blood circulation, stimulus-responding, etc.

Which statement is true of the electric field at a distant from the source of charge?

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

A negative charge, if free to move in an electric field, will move from a low potential point to a high potential point. To move a positive charge against the electric field, work has to be done by you or a force external to the field.

Nuclear chain reactions within power plants do NOT produce bomb-like explosions primarily because the ________.

Gelneren [198K]

Answer: D. Density of uranium within nuclear fuel rods is insufficient to become explosive

Explanation: Nuclear power plants use the same fuel as nuclear bombs, i.e. radioactive Uranium-235 isotope. However, in a nuclear power plant, the energy is released more slowly unlike in a nuclear bomb. The energy released is through nuclear fission, and radioactive decay occurs at the same rate as in nuclear bombs. therefore, option A, B and C are incorrect.

The primary reason why nuclear chain reactions within power plants do NOT produce bomb-like explosions is because the uranium fuel rods used in electricity generation is not sufficiently enriched in Uranium-235 to produce a nuclear detonation. This is the same idea in option D which is the correct option.

two children having a disagreement pull on a 50N sled in opposite directions. one pulls with a force of 300N east, the other wit

prohojiy [21]

Since forces are vector quantities, we must indicate direction using positive and negative values. East will be assigned positive and west will be negative. Friction will act as a negative force since it impedes action. To calculate the net force we sum the vector quantities, as follows. Net force equals 50n which is derived by the following calculation: 300n-220n-30n.

Resonance in air column is used in which of these musical instruments

zvonat [6]

Answer: The correct answer is "trumpet".

Explanation:

Resonance occurs when the applied frequency on the object is equal to the natural frequency of the object.

Wind instruments use resonance in the air column to amplify the sound. It makes the sound louder. Sound is produced by using lips or vibrating reeds or buzzing sound into the mouthpiece.

Therefore, resonance in air column is used in trumpet musical instruments.

A 20.0-N weight slides down a rough inclined plane which makes an angle of 30 degree with the horizontal. The weight starts from

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

$1270.64\ \text{J}$

Explanation:

m = Mass of object = $\dfrac{mg}{g}$

mg = Weight of object = 20 N

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

v = Final velocity = 15 m/s

u = Initial velocity = 0

d = Distance moved by the object = 150 m

$\theta$ = Angle of slope = $30^{\circ}$

f = Force of friction

fd = Work done against friction

The force balance of the system is

$\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)=(mg\sin\theta-f)d\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mg\sin\theta d-fd\\\Rightarrow fd=mg\sin\theta d-\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow fd=20\times \sin 30^{\circ}\times 150-\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{20}{9.81}\times 15^2\\\Rightarrow fd=1270.64\ \text{J}$

The work done against friction is $1270.64\ \text{J}$ .
