cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

v=1667.9km/h

a_{cp}=436.6km/h^2

Explanation:

The speed is the distance traveled divided by the time taken. The distance traveled in 24hs while standing on the equator is the circumference of the Earth C=2\pi R, where R=6371km is the radius of the Earth.

We have then:

v=\frac{C}{t}=\frac{2\pi R}{t}=\frac{2\pi (6371km)}{(24h)}=1667.9km/h

And then we use the centripetal acceleration formula:

a_{cp}=\frac{v^2}{R}=\frac{(1667.9km/h)^2}{(6371km)}=436.6km/h^2

Which of these items are made of cells? Check all that apply.
Katen [24]

Answer:

The correct answers are: Bacteria, Horses, Humans and Mushrooms.

Explanation:

All living organisms are made up of cells. A cell is a microscopic atomic unit and is made up of cytoplasm, one or more nuclei, and a membrane.

They are divided into eukaryotic cells (with nucleus) and prokaryotic cells (they do not have a nucleus).

Depending on the number of cells that living organisms have, they can be classified as single-celled organisms, which are made up of one cell. For example bacteria.

Or they can be multicellular organisms, formed by two or more cells, for example horses.
