Answer:

a) 12/323

b) 8/233

Explanation:

a) The probability of a red ball being drawn is 12/38, or in a simplified fraction, 6/19. To find the probability that 3 are red you would multiply the probability of the fraction for each, except subtracting one from the total each time as the drawn is done without replacement. This is done as follows: 6/19 × 6/18 × 6/17= 12/323

b) The probability of drawing a blue ball is 8/38, or 4/19. To find that the first one is blue and the rest are red, the equation is done as follows: 4/19 × 6/18 × 6/17 = 8/233

(hopefully I did this right)

<span>A machine is a device that does work. Most machines consist of a number of elements, such as gears and ball bearings, that work together in a complex way. Nonetheless, no matter how complex they are, all machines are based in some way on six types of simple machines.

If a hydrogen atom and a helium atom have the same kinetic energy:________
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: If a hydrogen atom and a helium atom have the same kinetic energy then the wavelength of the hydrogen atom will be roughly equal to the wavelength of the helium atom.

Explanation:

The relation between energy and wavelength is as follows.

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\\

This means that energy is inversely proportional to wavelength.

As it is given that energy of a hydrogen atom and a helium atom is same.

Let us assume that E_{hydrogen} = E_{helium} = E'. Hence, relation between their wavelengths will be calculated as follows.

E_{hydrogen} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{hydrogen}}    ... (1)

E_{helium} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{helium}}         ... (2)

Equating the equations (1) and (2) as follows.

E_{hydrogen} = E_{helium} = E'\\\frac{hc}{\lambda_{hydrogen}} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{helium}} = E'\\\lambda_{helium} = \lambda_{hydrogen} = E'

Thus, we can conclude that if a hydrogen atom and a helium atom have the same kinetic energy then the wavelength of the hydrogen atom will be roughly equal to the wavelength of the helium atom.

What force types change the direction of motion
lora16 [44]

Forces affect how objects move. They may cause motion; they may also slow, stop, or change the direction of motion of an object that is already moving. Since force cause changes in the speed or direction of an object, we can say that forces cause changes in velocity. Remember that acceleration is a change in velocity. Let’s say an object is moving along a table on earth, suddenly the finite table ends, resulting in the object being present in the air, which means there is no normal contact force N to combat the force by gravity mg, which is why there is an acceleration downwards. This proves as a projectile motion since the direction of motion start changing from horizontal to vertical. Another example is one throwing an object up. It moves up and slows down, reaching its maximum point, leading to it starting to move downwards. This too is a change in motion.

Arrange the steps of glycogen degradation in their proper order. Hormonal signals trigger glycogen breakdown. Glucose 6‑phosphat
Otrada [13]

Answer: Please see answer below

Explanation:

The steps of glycogen degradation is as follows from this order.

--->Hormonal signals trigger glycogen breakdown.

1. Glycogen is (de)branched by hydrolysis of α‑1,6‑glycosidic linkages.

2. Blocks consisting of three glucosyl residues are moved by remodeling of α‑1,4‑glycosidic linkages.

3.[Glucose 1‑phosphate is cleaved from the non reducing ends of glycogen and converted to glucose 6‑phosphate.

--->Glucose 6‑phosphate undergoes further metabolic processing

The  degradation  of Glycogen follows  three steps:

(1) the release of glucose 1-phosphate from glycogen,

(2) the remodeling of the glycogen substrate to permit further degradation, and

(3) the conversion of glucose 1-phosphate into glucose 6-phosphate for further metabolism.
