Answer:

There are 5 main conditions of the alveoli for proper gaseous exchange to in the lungs.

Explanation

Alveoli is found in the lungs of mammals, birds and reptiles. It is the part of the lungs where gaseous exchange really occurs.

Alveoli has a shape of that of balloon but indeed smaller than the real balloon. It allows the passage of oxygen and carbon dioxide

The five main conditions includes:

The Alveoli must have large surface to volume ratio which increase the gases that could be exchanged
The wall must be thin. This can shorten diffusion distance.
Alveoli must be very moist so that oxygen and carbon dioxide can pass through the solution
Alveoli must be well supplied with blood
Alveoli must be permeable

The distance between two particles is 2 centimeters. If the distance is increased to 4 centimeters, the force will be ?

postnew [5]

Answer:

The new force is 1/4 of the previous force.

Explanation:

Given

$Initial\ Distance = 2cm$ ---- $r_1$

$New\ Distance = 4cm$ --- $r_2$

Required

Determine the new force

Let the two particles be q1 and q2.

The initial force F1 is:

$F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_1^2}$ --- Coulomb's law

Substitute 2 for r1

$F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{2^2}$

$F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4}$

The new force (F2) is

$F_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_2^2}$

Substitute 4 for r2

$F_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4^2}$

$F_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4*4}$

$F_2 = \frac{1}{4}*\frac{kq_1q_2}{4}$

Substitute $F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4}$

$F_2 = \frac{1}{4}*F_1$

$F_2 = \frac{F_1}{4}$

The new force is 1/4 of the previous force.

How much potential energy does a 50-N box have when lifted at a height of 1.5M?

nikitadnepr [17]

The correct answer is: Option (A) 75 J

Explanation:

First, be careful with the units here. As you can see it is mentioned that there is a 50N box. It means that the weight (mg) of the box is given as the unit is Newton, not its mass (which is in kg).

As,

Potential-energy = mass * acceleration-due-to-gravity * height

PE = m*g*h --- (A)

In equation (A), mg is actually the weight of the box, which is given.

mg = 50N

h = height = 1.5m

Plug the values in equation (A):

PE = 50 * 1.5 = 75 J (Option A)

How are scientists able to predict when and where the next eclipse will occur?

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

When the Earth and sun are perfectly lined up, then it will happen. They can tell when it's going to happen.

Explanation:

This is why it only happens in some places. Some days it's not sunny out, so it's not going to happen.

A- 1000 m/s2 Xi-0m Xf-0.75m Vf-?

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

The final velocity of the object is, $v_{f}$ = 27 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The acceleration of the object, a = 1000 m/s²

The initial displacement of the object, $x_{i}$ = 0 m

The final displacement of the object, $x_{f}$ = 0.75 m

The initial velocity of the object will be, $v_{i}$ = o m/s

The final velocity of the object, $v_{f}$ = ?

The average velocity of the object,

v = ( $x_{f}$ - $x_{i}$ )/ t

= 0.75 / t

The acceleration is given by the relation

a = v / t

1000 m/s² = 0.75 / t²

t² = 7.5 x 10⁻⁴

t = 0.027 s

Using the I equation of motion,

$v_{f}$ = u + at

Substituting the values

$v_{f}$ = 0 + 1000 x 0.027

= 27 m/s

Hence, the final velocity of the object is, $v_{f}$ = 27 m/s

What is the speed of a bobsled whose distance-time graph indicates that it traveled 113m in 29s?

Elza [17]

In this item, we are asked to determine the speed of the bobsled given the distance traveled and the time it takes to cover the certain distance. This can mathematically be expressed as,
speed = distance / time

Substituting the given values in this item,
speed = (113 m) / (29 s)
speed = 3.90 m/s

ANSWER: 3.90 m/s
