Is distance traveled by a moving train qualitative discrete continuous or na?

1 answer:

8 0

Continuous. Discrete values are values like 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. - they're values that are distinct, and typically there's some idea of a next and a previous value. When we're counting whole numbers, there's a definitive answer to which number comes after, and which number comes before. With continuous values, there's no real "next" or "last" value.

Motion is measured with continuous values; a train might move 300 yards in 1 minute, but we can look at smaller and smaller chunks of time to keep getting shorter and shorter distances. There is no "next" distance the train moves after those 300 yards - it just doesn't make sense for there to be.

It's also measured quantitatively, not qualitatively. This just means that we can use numerical values to measure it, rather than other descriptors like color, smell, or taste.

The conversion of sugar to energy in the presence of oxygen is

Ahat [919]

Answer:

A. respiration.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration can be defined as a series of metabolic reactions that typically occur in cells so as to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). During cellular respiration, high energy intermediates are created that can then be oxidized to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Therefore, the intermediary products are produced at the glycolysis and citric acid cycle stage.

Additionally, mitochondria provides all the energy required in the cell by transforming energy forms through series of chemical reactions; breaking down of glucose into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) used for providing energy for cellular activities in the body of living organisms.

Basically, oxygen goes into the body of a living organism such as plants, humans and animals when they breathe while glucose is absorbed by the body when they eat.

Hence, the conversion of sugar to energy in the presence of oxygen is respiration.

Jupiter's semimajor axis is 7.78×1011 m. The mass of the Sun is 1.99×1030 kg. (a) What is the period of Jupiter's orbit in secon

dedylja [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Semi major axis of the Jupiter, $a=7.78\times 10^{11}\ m$

Mass of the sun, $M=1.99\times 10^{30}\ kg$

(a) Let T is the period of Jupiter's orbit. It is given by :

$T^2\propto a^3$

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3$

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}}\times (7.78\times 10^{11})^3$

$T=3.74\times 10^8\ s$

(b) We know that,

$1\ year=3.154\times 10^7\ s$

$1\ s=3.171\times 10^{-8}\ year$

$3.74\times 10^8\ s={3.171\times 10^{-8}}\times {3.74\times 10^8}$

T = 11.859 earth years

Hence, this is the required solution.

A ball that is attached to a string travels in a horizontal, circular path, as shown in Figure 1. At time t0 , the ball has a sp

Levart [38]

Answer:

F₁ = 4 F₀

Explanation:

The force applied on the string by the ball attached to it, while in circular motion will be equal to the centripetal force. Therefore, at time t₀, the force on ball F₀ is given as:

F₀ = mv₀²/r --------------- equation (1)

where,

F₀ = Force on string at t₀

m = mass of ball

v₀ = speed of ball at t₀

r = radius of circular path

Now, at time t₁:

v₁ = 2v₀

F₁ = mv₁²/r

F₁ = m(2v₀)²/r

F₁ = 4 mv₀²/r

using equation (1):

F₁ = 4 F₀
