The formation of lactic acid in human muscle most closely associated with

1 answer:

8 0

The formation of lactic acid in human muscles is closely associated with intense exertion or activity, during which aerobic respiration that uses oxygen to produce energy cannot be able to match the demand of energy by the muscles. The muscles therefore resort to anaerobic respiration for energy where pyruvate becomes a makeshift hydrogen acceptor rather than oxygen as happens in aerobic respiration. Pyruvate accepts a hydrogen from NADH and becomes reduced to lactate or lactic acid while NADH is oxidized to NAD which is crucial in the formation of energy that is then stored in the form of ATP which is used to re-fuel the muscles to keep them going.

The heater element of a 120 V toaster is a 5.4 m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.48 mm. The resistivity of nichrome

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The power drawn by the toaster is closest to:

(A) 370 W

Explanation:

First we calculate the resistance of the nichrome wire (R).

$R=\frac{pL}{A} =\frac{pL}{\pi r^{2} } \\$

Where radious (r), resistance coefficient (p), and Length (L)

$r=\frac{0.48}{2} 10^{-3} m\\\\L=5.4 m\\p=1.3*10^{-3}\varOmega \\\\\\Replacing:\\\\R=\frac{1.3(10)^{-6} *5.4}{\pi* 0.24^{2} (10)^{-6}} =38.7940$

After replace the value in the ohm law power formula to obtain the power consumed:

$P=\frac{V^2}{R} =\frac{120^2}{38.7940} =371.191 Watts$

How do i find the number of leptons in an atom??

Serjik [45]

Answer:

In particle physics, a lepton is an elementary particle of half-integer spin (spin 1⁄2) that does not undergo strong interactions.[1] Two main classes of leptons exist: charged leptons (also known as the electron-like leptons or muons), and neutral leptons (better known as neutrinos). Charged leptons can combine with other particles to form various composite particles such as atoms and positronium, while neutrinos rarely interact with anything, and are consequently rarely observed. The best known of all leptons is the electron.

the roque requried to turn the crank on an ice cream maker is 4.50 N.m how much work does it take to turn the crank through 300

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

the work required to turn the crank at the given revolutions is 8,483.4 J

Explanation:

Given;

torque required to turn the crank, T = 4.50 N.m

number of revolutions, = 300 turns

The work required to turn the crank is given as;

W = 2πT

W = 2 x 3.142 x 4.5

W = 28.278 J

1 revolution = 28.278 J

300 revlotions = ?

= 300 x 28.278 J

= 8,483.4 J

Therefore, the work required to turn the crank at the given revolutions is 8,483.4 J

Since the aluminum bar is not an isolated system, the second law of thermodynamics cannot be applied to the bar alone. Rather, i

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

ΔS total ≥ 0 (ΔS total = 0 if the process is carried out reversibly in the surroundings)

Explanation:

Assuming that the entropy change in the aluminium bar is due to heat exchange with the surroundings ( the lake) , then the entropy change of the aluminium bar is, according to the second law of thermodynamics, :

ΔS al ≥ ∫dQ/T

if the heat transfer is carried out reversibly

ΔS al =∫dQ/T

in the surroundings

ΔS surr ≥ -∫dQ/T = -ΔS al → ΔS surr ≥ -ΔS al = - (-1238 J/K) = 1238 J/K

the total entropy change will be

ΔS total = ΔS al + ΔS surr

ΔS total ≥ ΔS al + (-ΔS al) =

ΔS total ≥ 0

the total entropy change will be ΔS total = 0 if the process is carried out reversibly in the surroundings

A car travels 200km in 3.0 hours. Determine the average velocity of the car

Masja [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

The average velocity of the car can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{d}{t } \\$

d is the distance

t is the time taken

From the question we have

$a = \frac{200}{3} \\ = 66.66666...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
