Answer:

Mouth and teeth is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal tract (or GI) and other organs such as the pancreas, the liver, and the ones mentioned in the question, like the stomach, small intestine and the mouth and teeth. These last two are in charge of breaking food down into smaller molecules.

Answer:

I believe it's the small intestine

Explanation:

The small intestine absorbs most digested food molecules, as well as water and minerals, and passes them on to other parts of the body for storage or further chemical change. Specialized cells help absorbed materials cross the intestinal lining into the bloodstream.

What is the magnitude of electrical force of attraction between an copper nucleus (29 protons) and its innermost electron if the

Agata [3.3K]

The charge of the copper nucleus is 29 times the charge of one proton:
$Q=29 q= 29 \cdot 1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C=4.64 \cdot 10^{-18}C$
the charge of the electron is
$e=-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C$
and their separation is
$r=1.0 \cdot 10^{-12} m$

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between them is given by:
$F=k_e \frac{Qe}{r^2}$
where $k_e$ is the Coulomb's constant. If we substitute the numbers, we find (we can ignore the negative sign of the electron charge, since we are interested only in the magnitude of the force)
$F=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2}) \frac{(4.64 \cdot 10^{-18}C)(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)}{(1.0 \cdot 10^{-12} m)^2}=6.68 \cdot 10^{-3} N$

A train slows down as it rounds a sharp horizontal turn, going from 94.0 km/h to 46.0 km/h in the 17.0 s that it takes to round

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

1.41 m/s^2

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert the two speeds from km/h to m/s:

$u = 94.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h} = 26.1 m/s$

$v=46.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=12.8 m/s$

Now we find the centripetal acceleration which is given by

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

v = 12.8 m/s is the speed

r = 140 m is the radius of the curve

Substituting values, we find

$a_c=\frac{(12.8 m/s)^2}{140 m}=1.17 m/s^2$

we also have a tangential acceleration, which is given by

$a_t = \frac{v-u}{t}$

where

t = 17.0 s

Substituting values,

$a_t=\frac{12.8 m/s-26.1 m/s}{17.0 s}=-0.78 m/s^2$

The two components of the acceleration are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the resultant acceleration by using Pythagorean theorem:

$a=\sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}=\sqrt{(1.17 m/s^2)+(-0.78 m/s^2)}=1.41 m/s^2$

Two satellites are in circular orbits around the earth. The orbit for satellite A is at a height of 403 km above the earth’s sur

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

$v_A=7667m/s\\\\v_B=7487m/s$

Explanation:

The gravitational force exerted on the satellites is given by the Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:

$F_g=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} }$

Where M is the mass of the earth, m is the mass of a satellite, R the radius of its orbit and G is the gravitational constant.

Also, we know that the centripetal force of an object describing a circular motion is given by:

$F_c=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}$

Where m is the mass of the object, v is its speed and R is its distance to the center of the circle.

Then, since the gravitational force is the centripetal force in this case, we can equalize the two expressions and solve for v:

$\frac{GMm}{R^2}=m\frac{v^2}{R}\\ \\\implies v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}$

Finally, we plug in the values for G (6.67*10^-11Nm^2/kg^2), M (5.97*10^24kg) and R for each satellite. Take in account that R is the radius of the orbit, not the distance to the planet's surface. So $R_A=6774km=6.774*10^6m$ and $R_B=7103km=7.103*10^6m$ (Since $R_{earth}=6371km$ ). Then, we get:

$v_A=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.97*10^{24}kg)}{6.774*10^6m} }=7667m/s\\\\v_B=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.97*10^{24}kg)}{7.103*10^6m} }=7487m/s$

In words, the orbital speed for satellite A is 7667m/s (a) and for satellite B is 7487m/s (b).

What force must the deltoid muscle provide to keep the arm in this position?

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Deltoid Force, $F_{d} = \frac {r_{a}mgsin\alpha_{a}}{r_{d}sin\alpha_{d}}$

Additional Information:

Some numerical information are missing from the question. However, I will derive the formula to calculate the force of the deltoid muscle. All you need to do is insert the necessary information and calculate.

Explanation:

The deltoid muscle is the one keeping the hand arm in position. We have two torques that apply to the rotating of the arm.

1. The torque about the point in the shoulder for the deltoid muscle, $T_{Deltoid}$

2. The torque of the arm, $T_{arm}$

Assuming the arm is just being stretched and there is no rotation going on,

$T_{Deltoid}$ = 0

$T_{arm}$ = 0

⇒ $T_{Deltoid} = T_{arm}$

$r_{d}F_{d}sin\alpha_{d} = r_{a}F_{a}sin\alpha_{a}$

Where,

$r_{d}$ is radius of the deltoid

$F_{d}$ is the force of the deltiod

$\alpha_{d}$ is the angle of the deltiod

$r_{a}$ is the radius of the arm

$F_{a}$ is the force of the arm , $F_{a} = mg$ which is the mass of the arm and acceleration due to gravity

$\alpha_{a}$ is the angle of the arm

The force of the deltoid muscle is,

$F_{d} = \frac {r_{a}F_{a}sin\alpha_{a}}{r_{d}sin\alpha_{d}}$

but $F_{a} = mg$ ,

∴ $F_{d} = \frac {r_{a}mgsin\alpha_{a}}{r_{d}sin\alpha_{d}}$
