Answer: To complete the process of digestion after the food is ingested by mouth.

Explanation:

The food that we eat is ingested by mouth and here the mechanical degradation of food takes place. This breaks down the food into smaller pieces.

Mouth also contains the enzyme that is responsible for the digestion of starch.

Then the food from the mouth reaches the stomach where various types of digestive juices and enzymes are secreted to digested the food.

Hence, mouth and stomach must be near in the digestive system.

Answer:

The value of new value of angular speed of merry go round. $\omega_{2}$ = 0.96 $\frac{rad}{sec}$

Explanation:

Given data

r = 1.4 m

Moment of inertia $I_{1}$ = 265 kg - $m^{2}$

$N_{1} =$ 11 RPM

$\omega_{1} = \frac{2 \pi N}{60}$

$\omega_{1} = \frac{2 \pi (11)}{60}$

$\omega_{1}$ = 1.15 $\frac{rad}{sec}$

From conservation of momentum principal

$I_{1} \omega_{1} = I_{2} \omega_{2}$ ------- (1)

$I_{2} = m r^{2} + 265$

$I_{2} = 27 (1.4)^{2} + 265$

$I_{2} = 317.92 \ kg m^{2}$

Put all the values in equation (1)

265 × 1.15 = 317.92 × $\omega_{2}$

$\omega_{2}$ = 0.96 $\frac{rad}{sec}$

This is the value of new value of angular speed of merry go round.

The mass of a single gold atom is 3.27×10-22 grams. how many gold atoms would there be in 236 milligrams of gold?

blsea [12.9K]

The amount of gold atoms could be calculated by dividing the total weight of the gold with the mass of a single gold atom. Just convert the given weight to grams then divide it with 3.27x10^-22 grams. The answer would be 7.22x10^20.
