Many physiological conditions are related to particular proteins in cell membranes. The number of insulin receptors in membranes

is related to the amount of insulin present around those cells. If the presence of increased insulin results in a decrease in receptors and a decrease in insulin results in an increase in insulin receptors, this would be an example of

Answer: This is an example of downregulation and upregulation.

Explanation:

Downregulation is a process in which cells decrease the production of one of their components, responding to an external stimulus. Upregulation, on the other hand, is when cells increase the production of one of their components in response to an external stimulus.

In this case, the decrease in insulin receptors would make the cell less sensitive to the hormone.

If there's a lot of insulin around those cells, the cell would have to decrease its sensitivity, otherwise, it would metabolise more glucose than the body needs. The contrary would happen if there was too little insulin around those cells, they would have to become more sensitive to it by increasing the number of receptors.

In a mail-sorting facility, a 2.50-kg package slides down an inclined plane that makes an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal. Th
lawyer [7]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.382.

Explanation:

Given:

Angle of inclination is, \theta=20.0°

Mass of package is, m=2.50\ kg

Initial speed of package is, u=2.00\ m/s

Final speed of the package at the bottom is, v=0\ m/s

Distance of travel along the incline is, d=12.0\ m

Acceleration due to gravity is, g=9.8\ m/s^2

Let the coefficient of kinetic friction be \mu.

Now, the frictional force will be acting along the incline but in the direction opposite to the direction of motion.

So, the net acceleration acting on the package will be up the incline and is equal to:

a=\mu g\cos\theta-g\sin\theta ----------------- 1

Now, using equation of motion, we have:

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\0-(2.00)^2=2a(12.0)

Solving for 'a', we get:

-4.00=24.0a\\\\a=-\frac{4}{24}=-\frac{1}{6}\ m/s^2

Now, plug in the value of 'a' in equation (1). This gives,

\mu g\cos\theta-g\sin\theta=\frac{1}{6} ( Neglecting negative sign)

Plug in all the given values and solve for \mu. This gives,

9.8(-sin(20)+\mu cos(20))=\frac{1}{6}\\\\-0.342+\mu\times 0.94=0.017\\\\0.94\mu=0.342+0.017\\\\0.94\mu=0.359\\\\\mu=\frac{0.359}{0.94}=0.382

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.382.

The Special Olympics raises money through "plane pull" events in which teams of 25 people compete to see who can pull a 74,000 k
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

28716.4740661 N

1.2131147541 m/s

51.2474965841%

Explanation:

m = Mass of plane = 74000 kg

s = Displacement = 3.7 m

f = Frictional force = 14000 N

t = Time taken = 6.1 s

u = Initial velocity = 0

v = Final velocity

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 3.7=0\times 6.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 6.1^2\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{3.7\times 2}{6.1^2}\\\Rightarrow a=0.198871271164\ m/s^2

Force is given by

F=ma+f\\\Rightarrow F=74000\times 0.198871271164+14000\\\Rightarrow F=28716.4740661\ N

The force with which the team pulls the plane is 28716.4740661 N

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+0.198871271164\times 6.1\\\Rightarrow v=1.2131147541\ m/s

The speed of the plane is 1.2131147541 m/s

Kinetic energy is given by

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 74000\times 1.2131147541^2\\\Rightarrow K=54450.9540448\ J

Work done is given by

W=Fs\\\Rightarrow W=28716.4740661\times 3.7\\\Rightarrow W=106250.954045\ J

The fraction is given by

\dfrac{54450.9540448}{106250.954045}=0.512474965841

The teams 51.2474965841% of the work goes to kinetic energy of the plane.

4. A substance has a density of 0.79 g/cm'. It is soluble in water. List all the possibilities of what it might be How could you
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Given that the density of the unknown substance is 0.79 g/cm3 and is soluble in water, the possible substances it could be are;

i) t-butanol

ii) ethanol

iii) 2-propanol

iv) acetone

However, the actual identity of the unknown substance can be obtained by carrying out a boiling point test. The four substances listed above have different boiling points. Hence the boiling point of the unknown substance ultimately discloses its identity.
