Biological systems use free energy based on empirical data that all organisms require a constant energy input. The first law of

thermodynamics states that energy can be neither created nor destroyed. For living organisms, which of the following statements is an important consequence of this first law?
A) The entropy of an organism decreases with time as the organism grows in complexity.
B) The organism must ultimately obtain all necessary energy for life from its environment.
C) The energy content of an organism is constant except for when its cells are dividing.
D) Organisms are unable to transform energy from the different states in which it can exist.

Fiora starts riding her bike at 20 mi/h. after a while, she slows down to 12 mi/h, and maintains that speed for the rest of the
hammer [34]
<span>d = r*t

t = hours at 20 mi/hr


20t + 12*(4.5 - t) = 70
8t = 16
t = 2 hours

d at 20 mi/hr = 20*2 = 40 miles

40/20 + 30/12 = 4.5 hours

Fiora travels a total distance of 4.5 hours</span>

Course hero N4M.6 A board has one end wedged under a rock having a mass of 380 kg and is supported by another rock that touches
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Therefore it is save to carry a 62kg adult

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass m=380kg

Height of supporting Rock X=85cm

Length of BoardL_r=4.5m

Mass of board M_b=22kg

Mass of adult M_a=62  

Generally the moment of balance about wedge part about  is mathematically given by

N -Q + R = Mg + mg

0.85*N - Mg*2.25 - mg*(2.25 + x) = 0

0.85*N  = + Mg*2.25 + mg*(2.25 + x)

where

N+R=4547

therefore

N = 570.70588 + 1608.3529 + 714.823 x

if N=0 at fallen person

x=3.04m

Therefore it is save to carry a 62kg adult

If 20 beats are produced within one second, which of the following frequencies could possibly be held by two sound waves traveli
NeTakaya

Answer:

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz

Explanation:

  • When two waves with different frequency travelling in the same medium meet each other, they produce an interference pattern called beat.
  • <em><u>The frequency of the beat produced is equivalent to </u></em><em><u>the difference between the individual frequencies of the two waves involved.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Therefore; in this case since the frequency of the beat is 20 Hz, that is from 20 beats per second.</u></em>
  • We need to find a pair from the choices whose frequency difference is 20 Hz.
  • This happens to be choice D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz,  that is 42 Hz - 22 Hz = 20 Hz

Atmospheric pressure varies from day to day. The level of a floating ship on a high-pressure day is (a) higher (b) lower, or (c)
frez [133]

Answer:

(c) no different than on a low-pressure day.

Explanation:

The force acting on the ship when it floats in water is the buoyant force. According to the Archimedes' principle: The magnitude of buoyant force acting on the body of the object is equal to the volume displaced by the object.

Thus, Buoyant forces are a volume phenomenon and is determined by the volume of the fluid displaced.  

<u>Whether it is a high pressure day or a low pressure day, the level of the floating ship is unaffected because the increased or decreased pressure at the all the points of the water and the ship and there will be no change in the volume of the water displaced by the ship.</u>
