You are still breaking it down physically, but you need your stomach acid to break down the food, chemically.

It is both. 

<span>It is a physical change because when you chew your food you break it up into smaller pieces and are therefore changing its size and shape which are physical changes. </span>

<span>However, digestion begins in the mouth. When we chew our food, it mixes with enzymes from our saliva and begins to break down the food. Digestion is a chemical change.</span>

How might the distance between the needle and the water droplets have affected the movement of the droplets?
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The behavior of droplets trapped in geometric structures is essential to droplet manipulation applications such as for droplet transport. Here we show that directional droplet movement can be realized by a V-shaped groove with the movement direction controlled by adjusting the surface wettability of the groove inner wall and the cross sectional angle of the groove. Experiments and analyses show that a droplet in a superhydrophobic groove translates from the immersed state to the suspended state as the cross sectional angle of the groove decreases and the suspended droplet departs from the groove bottom as the droplet volume increases. We also demonstrate that this simple grooved structure can be used to separate a water-oil mixture and generate droplets with the desired sizes. The structural effect actuated droplet movements provide a controllable droplet transport method which can be used in a wide range of droplet manipulation applications.

Calculate the kinetic energy of a 0.032 kg ball as it leaves a hand to be thrown upwards at 6.2 m/s
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The ball will have a kinetic energy of 0.615 Joules.

Explanation:

Use the kinetic energy formula

E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}0.032kg\cdot 6.2^2 \frac{m^2}{s^2}= 0.615J

The kinetic energy at the moment of leaving the hand will be 0.615 Joules. (From there on, as it ball is traveling upwards, this energy will be gradually traded off with potential energy until the ball's velocity becomes zero at the apex of the flight)

How does friction affect the kinetic energy of an object?
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer: Friction also prevents an object from starting to move, such as a shoe placed on a ramp. When friction acts between two surfaces that are moving over each other, some kinetic energy is transformed into heat energy. Friction can sometimes be useful.

The voltage supplied to a circuit is 17 V and the current running through is 10 A. What is the power generated?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

170 W

Explanation:

Applying

P = VI.................... Equation 1

Where P = Power generated in watt, V = Voltage supplied to the circuit, I = Current running through the circuit.

From the question,

Given: V = 17 V, I = 10 A

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (17×10)

P = 170 Watt.

Hence the power generated is 170 W.

The right option is A. 170 W
