Answer:

d. $1 \times 10^{5}$ kilometers per hour

Explanation:

Halley's comet is named after the astronomer Halley. This comet entered the inner solar system from the Kupier's belt. It is very large in size. It appears every 75 or 79 years in the inner solar system and can be seen with the naked eye. Its orbit is elliptical in shape. It reflects the sun light, otherwise it is entirely dark and made up of volatile material, as observed

A sinusoidal wave of angular frequency 1,203 rad/s and amplitude 3.1 mm is sent along a cord with linear density 3.9 g/m and ten

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

18.7842493212 W

Explanation:

T = Tension = 1871 N

$\mu$ = Linear density = 3.9 g/m

y = Amplitude = 3.1 mm

$\omega$ = Angular frequency = 1203 rad/s

Average rate of energy transfer is given by

$P=\dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{T\mu}\omega^2y^2\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{1871\times 3.9\times 10^{-3}}\times 1203^2\times (3.1\times 10^{-3})^2\\\Rightarrow P=18.7842493212\ W$

The average rate at which energy is transported by the wave to the opposite end of the cord is 18.7842493212 W

If a 42kg rolling object slows from 11.5m/s to 3.33m/s how much work did friction do

geniusboy [140]

Answer: 1608.39 J

Explanation: Given that the

mass M = 42kg

U = 11.5m/s

V = 3.33m/s

how much work did friction do

Work done = Force × distance

Work done = Ma × distance

But acceleration a = V/t

Work done = M × V/t × d

Work done = M × V × d/t

Where d/t = velocity

Therefore,

Work done = M × U × V

Work done = 42 × 11.5 × 3.33

Work done = 1608.39 J

Consider the following examples of homeostatic regulation: In response to an increase in plasma K concentrations, secretion of t

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Both are examples of negative feedback regulation.

Explanation:

The maintenance of the homeostasis in the body is controlled by the the feedback regulation of the body. Two main types of feedback regulation are positive regulation and negative regulation.

The negative regulation occurs when the final product of the reactions inhibits the further secretion of that product. In the given examples of aldosterone and calcium mechanism, the secretion of aldosterone and calcium decreases as the normal levels are acheived in the body.

Thus, the answer is both are examples of negative feedback regulation.
