A tennis racket strikes a tennis ball with a force of 100 N. With what force
viva [34]

Answer:

-100N

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that to every force exerted on one body, there is an equal and opposite force. This means that if object A exerts an ACTION force on B, there is a force called REACTION FORCE, which is equal and opposite, exerted on A by B.

The action and reaction forces are equal in size/magnitude but opposite in direction. In this case where a tennis racket strikes a tennis ball with a force (action force) of 100N, the ball will strike the racket with a reaction force of -100N.

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.

Rachel collected data on the speed of sound waves passing through different media.
Helga [31]

The conclusion is, medium Q is most likely a solid because solids have the highest density and sound waves travel fastest in high density media.

<h3>Effect of density on speed of sound</h3>

Sound wave is mechanical wave that requires material medium for its propagation.

A high dense medium, is a medium with closely packed molecules. Since sound wave requires material medium for its propagation, it will travel faster in a high dense medium than a less dense medium.

Thus, the speed of sound increases as the density of the medium increases.

<h3>Speed of sound in the different media</h3>

The conclusion that can be made from the speed of sound in the different media is "Medium Q is most likely a solid because solids have the highest density and sound waves travel fastest in high density media".
