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.

A box is being pulled to the right over a rough surface. t > fk , so the box is speeding up. Suddenly the rope breaks. What h
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

a. keeps its speed for a short while, then slows and stops. slows steadily until it stops.

Explanation:

Since the tension in the rope, t is greater than the kinetic friction fk, the box is moving forward because there is a net force on it. That is, t - fk = f = ma.

Since there is a net force, there is an acceleration and thus an increasing velocity.

When the rope breaks, the tension, t = 0. So, t - fk = 0 - fk = -fk = ma'.

Now, the net force acting on the box is friction in the opposite direction. This force tends to slow the box down from its initial velocity at acceleration, 'a' until its velocity is zero, where it stops. Since the frictional force is constant, the acceleration, a' on the box is thus constant and the box undergoes uniform deceleration until its velocity is zero.

<u>So, the box keeps its speed for a short while, then slows and stops. slows steadily until it stops.</u>

So, the answer is a.

A bucket of warm water can be considered a closed system for a very short period of time. Which best explains this phenomenon? A
zlopas [31]
The reason is that a closed system has nothing going in or out and water retains energy very well also water it polar so it is attracted to itself. It doesnt like contact with other things.
So it's likely to be C

Three point charges are on the x axis: −1 µC
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

0.0078 N

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where:

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

The force is attractive if the two  charges have opposite sign, and repulsive if the two charges have same sign.

In this problem, we have:

q_1 = -1 \mu C = -1 \cdot 10^{-6}C located at x_1=-3 m

q_2=+9 \mu C = +9\cdot 10^{-6}C located at x_2=0 m

q_3 = -5 \mu C = -5\cdot 10^{-6} C located at x_3=+3 m

The force between charge 1 and charge 2 is:

F_{12}=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(x_2-x_1)^2}=(8.99\cdot 10^9)\frac{(1\cdot 10^{-6})(+9\cdot 10^{-6})}{3^2}=0.0090 N

And since the two charges have opposite sign, the force is attractive, so the force on charge 1 is towards the right.

The force between charge 1 and charge 3 is:

F_{13}=k\frac{q_1 q_3}{(x_3-x_1)^2}=(8.99\cdot 10^9)\frac{(1\cdot 10^{-6})(5\cdot 10^{-6})}{6^2}=0.0012 N

And since the two charges have same sign, the force is repulsive, so the force on charge 1 is towards the left.

Therefore, the net  force on charge 1 is:

F=F_{12}-F_{13}=0.0090-0.0012 = 0.0078 N

towards the right.

Current passes through a solution of sodium chloride. In 1.00 s , 2.68× 10 16 Na + ions arrive at the negative electrode and 3.9
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer

a) charge of the sodium ion is,

q = n e

q = 2.68 x 10¹⁶ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

q = 4.288 x 10⁻³ C

charge of the chlorine ion is,

q' = n e

q' = 3.92 x 10¹⁶ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

q' = 6.272 x 10⁻³ C

the current

i = \dfrac{q}{t} + \dfrac{q'}{t}

i = \dfrac{4.288 \times 10^{-3}}{1} + \dfrac{6.272 \times 10^{-3}}{1}

i = 10.56 \times 10^{-3}

b) positive ion moves toward negative electrode hence direction of will be in the direction toward negative electrode.
