What are organelles? Describe the role of two organelles within the cell.

1 answer:

4 0

Organelles are small structures found in cells that carry out certain tasks. Two examples of organelles are the Nucleus and the Mitochondria. Think of the nucleus as the brain of its cell, it controls activities and it contains a majority of the cells genetic material. The mitochondria is the part of the cells tasked with cellular respiration, which is the act of taking nutrients from a cell and turning it into energy.

If a 20 g cannonball is shot from a 5 kg cannon with a velocity of 100

balu736 [363]

Strange as it may seem, the statement in the question appears to be <em>TRUE</em>.

-- Before the shot, neither the cannon nor the ball is moving, so their combined momentum is zero.

-- Since momentum is conserved, we know immediately that their combined momentum AFTER the shot also has to be zero.

-- (20g is rather puny for a "cannonball" ... about the same weight as four nickels. But we'll take your word for it and just do the Math and the Physics.)

-- Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)

After the shot, the momentum of the cannonball is

(0.02 kg) x (100 m/s ==> that way)

Momentum of the ball = 2 kg-m/s ==> that way.

-- In order for both of them to add up to zero, the momentum of the cannon must be (2 kg-m/s this way <==) .

Momentum of cannon = (5 kg) x (V m/s this way <==)

2 kg-m/s this way <== = (5 kg) x (V m/s this way <==)

Divide each side by (5 kg):

V m/s = (2/5) m/s this way <==

Speed of recoil of the cannon = <em>-- 0.4 m/s</em>

A satellite is revolving the earth 4km above the surface.find the orbital velocity of the satellite (R =6400km,g=9.8m/s^2)

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

v ≈ 7900 m/s

Explanation:

centripetal force will equal gravity force

mv²/R = mg

v²/R = g

v² = Rg

v = √(Rg)

v = √(6.4e6(9.8))

v = 7.91959...e+3

v ≈ 7900 m/s

of course, at those velocities and that deep into the atmosphere, the satellite would quickly burn up, slow down, and cause tremendous damage to buildings etc. with the sonic boom shock wave. It would also have to avoid a lot of mountains as 4000 m is not that high.

Which type of nuclear reaction involves combining light elements into a heavier element, with a resultant release of great amoun

torisob [31]

Answer: Fusion

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

Nuclear fusion is a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

$_{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}+_2^4\textrm{He}\rightarrow _{96}^{242}\textrm{Cm}+_0^\textrm{n}$

Nuclear fission is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

$_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_0^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{36}^{91}\textrm{Kr}+_{56}^{142}\textrm{Ba}+_{0}^{1}\textrm{n}$
