Explain the statement: “Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things.”

1 answer:

6 0

All living things are made up of cells. Each cell's individual function helps the organism collectively function. They are the most basic as they can be self-contained. And there is no other particle smaller that can function on it's own.

Light waves have some similarities with water and sound waves, but they are not exactly the same. Describe all the differences y

makkiz [27]

Answer:

<h2>All the waves are pertubations that propagate (transport) energy.</h2><h2></h2>

Nevertheless, they have some differences:

1. Light waves are electromagnetic waves, while sound and water waves are mechanical waves, this is the first and principal difference.

2. Electromagnetic waves can propagate in vacuum (they do not need a medium or material), but mechanical waves obligatory need a material to propagate

3. Light waves are always transversal waves, this means the oscillatory movement is in a direction that is perpendicular to the propagation; but mechanical waves may be both: longitudinal waves (the oscillation occurs in the same direction as the propagation) or transversal waves.

4. Electromagnetic waves propagates at a constant velocity (Light velocity) while the velocity of mechanical waves will depend on the type of wave and the density of the medium or material.

5. Mechanical waves are characterized by the regular variation of a single magnitude, while electromagnetic waves are characterized by the variation of two magnitudes: the electric field and the magnetic field

6. Water waves are 2-dimensional waves, while the light and the sound are tridimensional spherical waves

7. Light waves transports energy in the form of radiation, while mechanical waves transport energy with material

Which of the following statements about comets is true? A. Comets rarely fall into an orbit around the Sun. They usually enter t

GREYUIT [131]

<h2>Right answer: Comets have very elliptical orbits that usually take them far beyond the orbit of Pluto, but also take them closer to the Sun than Earth</h2>

Comets are celestial bodies constituted by ice, dust and rocks that orbit around the Sun, after having been altered by the Oort cloud; following different trajectories that can be highly eccentric elliptical (periodic trajectories), parabolic or hyperbolic.

One of the main characteristics of a comet is that it travels quite fast, on its way around the Sun and has a long tail. It should be noted that the tails of comets always go in the opposite direction to the Sun (due to the radiation pressure of sunlight).

Therefore, the correct option is C.

James Joule (after whom the unit of energy is named) claimed that the water at the bottom of Niagara Falls should be warmer than

Molodets [167]

Answer:

0.12 K

Explanation:

height, h = 51 m

let the mass of water is m.

Specific heat of water, c = 4190 J/kg K

According to the transformation of energy

Potential energy of water = thermal energy of water

m x g x h = m x c x ΔT

Where, ΔT is the rise in temperature

g x h = c x ΔT

9.8 x 51 = 4190 x ΔT

ΔT = 0.12 K

Thus, the rise in temperature is 0.12 K.

A 73-kg Norwegian olympian ski champion is going down a hill sloped at 39 ◦ . The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sk

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

net force on the skier = mg sin 39 - μ mg cos39

mg ( sin39 - μ cos39 )

= 73 x 9.8 ( .629 - .116)

= 367 N

impulse = net force x time = change in momentum .

= 367 x 5 = 1835 kg m /s

velocity of the skier after 5 s = 1835 / 73

= 25.13 m /s

b )

net force becomes zero

mg ( sin39 - μ cos39 ) = 0

μ = tan39

= .81

c )

net force becomes zero , so he will continue to go ahead with constant speed of 25.13 m /s

so he will have speed of 25.13 m /s after 5 s .
