Which activity directly converts energy from the Sun into chemical energy?

1 answer:

4 0

The biological process that directly converts energy from the Sun into chemical energy would be Photosynthesis. It is a process carried out by autotrophic organisms which are predominantly plants and other photosynthetic bacteria.

seropon [69]

Answer

22.5 m/s

Explanation

We shall use the trigonometric ratio cosine to find the horizontal component.

cos = adjacent/hypotenuse

Adjacent is the horizontal and hypotenuse is the fly speed.

cos 30° = horizontal / 26

horizontal velocity = 26 × cos 30°

= 26 × 0.866

= 22.5166

= 22.5 m/s

asambeis [7]

Recall the equation for magnetic force:

F = qv x B *x is cross product, not separate variable!

If the magnetic field points towards N and you throw E, then the magnetic force would point up, or out of the page. Use the right-hand rule. You point your finger towards the direction of the object, and curl your finger to the magnetic field. Your thumb is the direction of the magnetic force.

Hope this helps!

What is work done aganist gravity?

Rudik [331]

Answer:

Work done against gravity in lifting an object becomes potential energy of the object-Earth system. The change in gravitational potential energy, ΔPEg, is ΔPEg = mgh, with h being the increase in height and g the acceleration due to gravity.

Alcohol of mass 33.2g and density 0.79kg/m³ or 790kg/m³ is mixed with water of 9g. What is the density of the resulting mixture?

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

0.83 g/cm³

Explanation:

The volume of the alcohol is ...

(33.2 g)/(0.79 g/cm³) ≈ 42.0253 cm³

The density of water is about 1 g/cm³, so the volume of 9 g of it is ...

(9 g)/(1 g/cm³) = 9 cm³

The total volume is ...

42.0253 cm³ +9 cm³ = 51.0253 cm³

The total mass is ...

33.2 g + 9 g = 42.4 g

So, the resulting density is ...

(42.4 g)/(51.0253 cm³) ≈ 0.83 g/cm³

The resulting mixture has a density of about 0.83 g/cm³.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Alcohol dissolves in water, so the total volume will be slightly less than 51.0253 cm³. The attached curve shows the result of mixing ethanol and water.

The weight of a mole of ethanol is about 46 g, of water, about 18.02 g. Then the mole fraction of alcohol is ...

(33.2/46)/(33.2/46 +9/18.02) ≈ 0.59

The volume of the mix is then estimated to be (-1.05 cc/mol)(1.221 mol), or about 1.28 cm³ less than the volume indicated above. That brings the density up to about 0.85 g/cm³.

We're not completely sure of the relevance of this calculation, since many of the applicable parameters are not specified. The point is that <em>the density of the mix will probably be slightly more than the value calculated above</em>. YMMV

The starter motor of a car engine draws a current of 140 A from the battery. The copper wire to the motor is 4.20 mm in diameter

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

(a)106.4C

b)0.5676mm

Explanation:

(a)To get the charge that have passed through the starter then The current will be multiplied by the duration

I= current

t= time taken

Q= required charge

Q= I*t = 140*0.760 = 106.C

(b) b. How far does an electron travel along the wire while the starter motor is on?(mm)

diameter of the conductor is 4.20 mm

But Radius= diameter/2= 4.20/2=

The radius of the conductor is 2.1mm, then if we convert to metre for consistency same then

radius of the conductor is 0.0021m.

We can now calculate the area of the conductor which is

A = π*r^2

= π*(0.0021)^2 = 13.85*10^-6 m^2

We can proceed to calculate the current density below

J = 140/13.85*10^-6 = 10108303A/m

According to the listed reference:

Where e= 1.6*10^-19

n= 8.46*10^28

Vd = J/(n*e) = 10108303/ ( 8.46*10^28 * 1.6*10^-19 ) =0.0007468m/s=0 .7468 mm/s

Therefore , the distance traveled is:

x = v*t = 0.7468 * 0.760 = 0.5676mm
