When an apple is cut, it often turns brown. What does the color change indicate?

When an apple is cut (or bruised), oxygen is introduced into the injured plant tissue. When oxygen is present in cells, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzymes in the chloroplasts rapidly oxidize phenolic compounds naturally present in the apple tissues to o-quinones, colorless precursors to brown-colored secondary products. so it will be c

B. chemical change

Apples turn brown because of a chemical reaction called oxidation.

A QL = -26 μC charge is placed on the x-axis at x = - 0.2 m. A QR = 26 μC charge is placed at x = +0.2 m. (for all answers below

Kaylis [27]

You are given a QL = -26 μC charge that is placed on the x-axis at x = - 0.2 m and a QR = 26 μC charge that is placed at x = +0.2 m. The answers are:

The x-component of the electric field at x = 0 m and y = 0.2 m is 3.
The y-component of the electric field at x = 0 m and y = 0.2 m is 2.

The magnitude of Earth’s magnetic field is about 0.5 gauss near Earth’s surface. What’s the maximum possible magnetic force on a

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

$F = 1.5 \times 10^{-16} N$

this force is $1.68 \times 10^{13}$ times more than the gravitational force

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy of the electron is given as

$KE = 1 keV$

$KE = 1 \times 10^3 (1.6 \times 10^{-19}) J$

$KE = 1.6 \times 10^{-16} J$

now the speed of electron is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we have

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2 KE}{m}}$

$v = 1.87 \times 10^7 m/s$

now the maximum force due to magnetic field is given as

$F = qvB$

$F = (1.6\times 10^{-19})(1.87 \times 10^7)(0.5 \times 10^{-4})$

$F = 1.5 \times 10^{-16} N$

Now if this force is compared by the gravitational force on the electron then it is

$\frac{F}{F_g} = \frac{1.5 \times 10^{-16}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31} (9.8)}$

$\frac{F}{F_g} = 1.68 \times 10^{13}$

so this force is $1.68 \times 10^{13}$ times more than the gravitational force

In world war 1 , Multiple reflection was used in submarines. How multiple reflection works and helps in such situation?

prisoha [69]

Answer:

Submarines use a device called Periscope that uses the concept of multiple reflections and help us see objects above the water surface.

Explanation:

When a light ray falls on a reflecting surface like a mirror, it gets reflected. In multiple reflections, the incident light ray is made to reflect multiple times by arranging the reflecting surfaces in different ways.

In submarines, we use Periscope, which is a long tube like structure. The long tube is bent at ends. It uses two simple mirrors which are placed parallel to each other at an angle of 45 degrees. The light from one mirror gets reflected to the other mirror, thus causing a multiple reflection.

A rabbit runs 28 m toward the left in 9 s; then the rabbit suddenly changes direction and runs 18 m toward the right in the next

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

The answer is 3.111111.

Explanation:

It runs 28 m in the first 9 s, and 28 divided by 9 equals 3.1 and the one goes on forever.
