Is there a difference in speed between a car going forwards at 5m/s and a car moving backwards at 5m/s

Biology

slava [35]3 years ago
6 0

There is NOT a difference in speed between a car going forwards at 5 m/s and a car moving backwards at 5 m/s.

Speed is just the rate of change of the position of an object. It is calculated by dividing the change in position (distance traveled) by the time it takes to move said distance.

The distance between the two points is always positive because the direction does not matter.

However, if we are looking for the velocity, the direction DOES matter. In this example, the velocity moving forwards is 5 m/s while the velocity moving backwards is -5 m/s.

In other words:

<em>Speed </em>is looking at the <em>magnitude</em>

<em>Velocity </em>is looking at the <em>magnitude </em><em>and </em><em>direction.</em>

zlopas [31]
Yes, the cell membrane regulates what enters the cell and leaves the cell. The cell membrane is a fluid mosaic consisting of a phospholipid bilayer and integral and peripheral proteins. The proteins of the membrane serve many purposes: transport, receptors, etc. The cell membrane is amphipathic, meaning is has hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions.

A particular type of cell doubles in number every hour. Write the function that can be used to find the number of cells present
Orlov [11]

The function to represent the number of cells present at the end of h hours if there are initially 4 of these cells is n= 4(2)ˣ

Given,

A particular type of cell doubles in number every hour.

So, to determine which function can be used to find the number of cells present at the end of h hours if there are initially 4 of these cells.

The number of cells denoted with n.

Therefore, the number of bacteria after every hour will form a geometric series.

<h3>What is Geometric Progression?</h3>

Geometric Progression or geometric Sum of G.P. is refer to as if each term is a multiple of the next term then this sequence.  

aₙ =arˣ

Where a is the first term which is 4.

And r is the common ratio r = 2.

Therefore,

The number of cells present at the end of h hours if there are initially 4 of these cells is,

n = arˣ

n = 4(2)ˣ

Hence, the function represents the number of cells present at the end of h hours if there are initially 4 of these cells is n = 4(2)ˣ.

A(n) _______ is an uncontrolled positive feedback loop between cytokines and leucocytes.
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with cytokine storm.

Explanation:

Generally, influenza is self-restricting. Though serious cases can result in pneumonia and other issues, which can be deadly. However, such cases are very common in the elderly and in very young individuals. There are certain strains of the influenza virus, which are more dangerous to young adults in comparison to old or very young.  

The strains, which influence young adults are considered to comprise a cytokine storm, that is, a positive feedback loop, which produces in between the production of cytokines and leukocytes. This cytokine storm generates an acute inflammatory reaction, which results in brisk accumulation of fluid in the lungs, resulting in pulmonary failure. The very young or very old are less vulnerable to this influence as their immune systems are less strong.
