Answer:

c. Kinetic energy

Explanation:

The two types of energy involved in this problem are:

- Potential energy: it is the energy possessed by an object due to its position. It is calculated as

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

From the formula, we see that the higher the object is above the ground (higher h), the larger the potential energy of the object. In this problem, the pig is falling down, so the value of h is decreasing, therefore the potential energy is decreasing as well.

- Kinetic energy: it is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. It is given by:

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

In this problem, as the pig falls down, it accelerates, so its speed increases: since the kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed, as the speed increases, its kinetic energy increases too. So, the correct answer is

c. Kinetic energy

Which embedded molecule in the cell membrane moves large molecules into and out of the cell?
Nezavi [6.7K]


The correct  answer is A.

The cell membrane consists of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins. Sometimes molecules are just too big to easily flow across the plasma membrane or dissolve in the water so that they can be filtered through the cell membrane. In these  cases , the cells must put out a little energy to help get molecules in and out of the cell.

The proteins embedded in the plasma membrane form channels through which other molecules can pass. Some proteins act as carriers, that is they are 'paid" in energy to let a molecule attach to itself and  then transport that molecule inside the cell. This is called active transport.

Which data set has the largest range?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

We have to check range of all options first

For A:

Largest Value: 5

Smallest Value: 1

So range = Largest value - smallest value

5-1 = 4

For B:

Largest Value: 6

Smallest Value: 4

Range = 6-4 = 2

For C:

Largest Value: 9

Smallest Value: 1

Range = 9-1 = 8

For D:

Largest Value = 9

Smallest Value = 3

Range = 9-3=6

So, the data set in option C has the largest range

A research vessel is mapping the bottom of the ocean using sonar. It emits a short sound pulse called "ping" downward. The frequ
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

d = 4180.3m

wavelengt of sound is 0.251m

Explanation:

Given that

frequency of the sound is 5920 Hz

v=1485m/s

t=5.63s

let d represent distance from the vessel to the ocean bottom.

an echo travels a distance equivalent to 2d, that is to and fro after it reflects from the obstacle.

velocity=\frac{distance}{time}\\\\ v=\frac{2d}{t} \\\\vt=2d\\\\d=\frac{vt}{2}

d=\frac{1485*5.63}{2}\\d= 4180.3m

wavelengt of sound is \lambda = v/f

= (1485)/(5920)

= 0.251 m
