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.

Consider the power dissipated in a series R–L–C circuit with R=280Ω, L=100mH, C=0.800μF, V=50V, and ω=10500rad/s. The current an

Answer:

0.28802

2.57162 W

14.28 W

53.55 W

6.07142 W

Explanation:

R = 280Ω

L = 100 mH

C = 0.800 μF

V = 50 V

ω = 10500rad/s

For RLC circuit impedance is given by

$Z=\sqrt{R^2+(X_L-X_C)^2}\\\Rightarrow Z=\sqrt{R^2+(\omega L-\dfrac{1}{\omega C})^2}\\\Rightarrow Z=\sqrt{280^2+(10500\times 100\times 10^{-3}-\dfrac{1}{10500\times 0.8\times 10^{-6}})^2}\\\Rightarrow Z=972.1483\ \Omega$

Power factor is given by

$F=\dfrac{R}{Z}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{280}{972.1483}\\\Rightarrow F=0.28802$

The power factor is 0.28802

The average power to the circuit is given by

$P=\dfrac{V^2}{Z}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{50^2}{972.1483}\\\Rightarrow P=2.57162\ W$

The average power to the circuit is 2.57162 W

Power to resistor

$P_R=IR\\\Rightarrow P_R=5.1\times 10^{-2}\times 280\\\Rightarrow P_R=14.28\ W$

Power to resistor is 14.28 W

Power to inductor

$P_L=IX_L\\\Rightarrow P_L=5.1\times 10^{-2}\times 10500\times 100\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow P_L=53.55\ W$

Power to the inductor is 53.55 W

Power to the capacitor

$P_C=IX_C\\\Rightarrow P_C=5.1\times 10^{-2}\times \dfrac{1}{10500\times 0.8\times 10^{-6}}\\\Rightarrow P_C=6.07142\ W$

The power to the capacitor is 6.07142 W

Machmer Hall is 400 m North and 180 m West of Witless.

yan [13]

Answer:

The distance from Witless to Machmer is 438.63 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Machmer Hall is 400 m North and 180 m West of Witless.

We need to calculate the distance

Using Pythagorean theorem

$D = \sqrt{(d_{m})^2+(d_{w})^2}$

Where, $d_{m}$ =distance of Machmer Hall

$d_{w}$ =distance of Witless

Put the value into the formula

$D = \sqrt{(400)^2+(180)^2}$

$D=438.63\ m$

Hence, The distance from Witless to Machmer is 438.63 m.
