Answer:

Homeostasis: A property of cells, tissues, and organisms that allows the maintenance and regulation of the stability and constancy needed to function properly. Homeostasis is a healthy state that is maintained by the constant adjustment of biochemical and physiological pathways.

A 25kg chair initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a 165 N horizontal force to set it in motion. Once the chair is in

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

$\mu_k=0.51$

Explanation:

Given that

Mass , m = 25 kg

We know that when body is in rest condition then static friction force act on the body and when body is in motion the kinetic friction force act on the body .That is why these two forces are given as follows

Static friction force ,fs= 165 N

Kinetic friction force ,fk = 127 N

If the body is moving with constant velocity ,it means that acceleration of that body is zero and all the forces are balanced.

Lets take coefficient of kinetic friction = μk

The kinetic friction is given as follows

fk = μk m g

Now by putting the values

127 = μk x 25 x 9.81

$\mu_k=\dfrac{127}{25\times 9.81}$

$\mu_k=0.51$

Therefore the value of coefficient of kinetic friction will be 0.51

A planet exerts a gravitational force of magnitude 9e22 N on a star. If the planet were 2 times closer to the star (that is, if

Dmitrij [34]

To solve this problem we will use the related concepts in Newtonian laws that describe the force of gravitational attraction. We will use the given value and then we will obtain the proportion of the new force depending on the Radius. From there we will observe how much the force of attraction increases in the new distance.

Planet gravitational force

$F_p = 6*10^{22}N$

$F_p = \frac{GMm}{R^2}$

$F_p = 9*10^{22}N$

Distance between planet and star

$r = \frac{R}{2}$

Gravitational force is

$F = \frac{GMm}{r^2}$

Applying the new distance,

$F = \frac{GMm}{(\frac{R}{2})^2}$

$F = 4\frac{GMm}{R^2}$

Replacing with the previous force,

$F = 4F_p$

Replacing our values

$F= 4(9*10^{22}N)$

$F = 36*10^{22}N$

Therefore the magnitude of the force on the star due to the planet is $36*10^{22}N$

Which statement best describes an antacid? a)An antacid increases the amount of hydrogen ions b)An antacid neutralizes excess hy

Ainat [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A, An antacid neutralizes excess hydrogen ions.

Explanation:

Antacid neutralizes the acid in the stomach. These are bases/ alkali's. The reaction between an acid and a base in known as neutralization thereby reducing burning sensations produced by the acid.

The antacid when reaches the stomach form gel like composition that lie on the top of food item in the stomach and prevent the oesophagus from the irritation caused by the acid.
