1. Which cell organelle is popularly known as power house of the cell. Why?

1 answer:

5 0

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell because it takes nutrients and breaks it down to provide energy for the cell.

A spring with a spring constant value of 125 N/m is compressed 12.2 cm by pushing on it with a 215 g block. When the block is re

allsm [11]

Answer:

v = 2.94 m/s

Explanation:

When the spring is compressed, its potential energy is equal to (1/2)kx^2, where k is the spring constant and x is the distance compressed. At this point there is no kinetic energy due to there being no movement, meaning the net energy in the system is (1/2)kx^2.

Once the spring leaves the system, it will be moving at a constant velocity v, if friction is ignored. At this time, its kinetic energy will be (1/2)mv^2. It won't have any spring potential energy, making the net energy (1/2)mv^2.

Because of the conservation of energy, these two values can be set equal to each other, since energy will not be gained or lost while the spring is decompressing. That means

(1/2)kx^2 = (1/2)mv^2

kx^2 = mv^2

v^2 = (kx^2)/m

v = sqrt((kx^2)/m)

v = x * sqrt(k/m)

v = 0.122 * sqrt(125/0.215) <--- units converted to m and kg

v = 2.94 m/s

Please help me with this (with explanation)

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Suppose the cyclist travels for a total time of t hours.

For 20 min = 1/3 hr, the cyclist does not move.

Over the remaining (t - 1/3) hr, the cyclist is moving at a constant speed of 22.0 km/hr, so that the cyclist would travel a distance of

x = (22.0 km/hr) • ((t - 1/3) hr) ≈ (22.0 km/hr) t - 7.33 km

If the cyclist's average speed over the total time t was 17.5 km/hr, then by the definition of average speed,

17.5 km/hr = x / t

Replace x with the distance expression from earlier:

17.5 km/hr = ((22.0 km/hr) t - 7.33 km) / t

Solve for t :

17.5 km/hr = 22.0 km/hr - (7.33 km) / t

(7.33 km) / t = 4.5 km/hr

t = (7.33 km) / (4.5 km/hr)

t ≈ 1.62963 hr

Then the distance the cyclist traveled must have been

x ≈ (22.0 km/hr) (1.62963 hr) - 7.33 km ≈ 28.5 km

and so the answer is A.

Alternatively, as soon as you arrive at

17.5 km/hr = x / t

you can instead solve for t in terms of x, then plug that into the distance equation.

t = x / (17.5 km/hr)

then

x ≈ (22.0 km/hr) (x / (17.5 km/hr)) - 7.33 km

x ≈ 1.25714 x - 7.33 km

0.25714x ≈ 7.33 km

x = (7.33 km) / 0.25714 ≈ 28.5 km

Which of the following scientific terms has the most evidence and observations?

Elza [17]

The correct answer should be B. a scientific law. A hypothesis is a belief by the scientist that may or may not be proven so it exists before evidence and observation, while a theory comes later. However, a law is observation itself and is always evidence of itself. There is no belief or lack of knowledge as to what will happen when it comes to laws. The law of action and reaction has plenty evidence and can easily be observed.

On Earth, a scale shows that you weigh 585 N. What would the scale read on the Moon (g = 1.60 m/s2)? N

Serggg [28]

Answer:

95.51 N

Explanation:

First, find the mass in kg:

Fg = 585 N

Fg = m*g

585 N = m*9.8 m/s^2

m = 59.69 kg

Then, to find your weight (Fg) on the moon, you use the same equation of

Fg(moon) = m*g, except this time g = 1.60 m/s^2

Fg(moon) = 59.69 kg * 1.60 m/s^2

Fg(moon) = 95.51 N

Hope this helps!! :)
