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.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Acceleration, a=9.36\times 10^{18}\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of electron, v=8\times 10^6\ m/s

Charge on an electron, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Mass of electron, m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg

Magnetic field, B=5.5i-3.7j

Magnitude, |B|=\sqrt{5.5^2+(-3.77)^2}=6.66\ T

Magnetic force is given by :

F=qvB

Also, F = ma

a=\dfrac{qvB}{m}

a=\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 8\times 10^6\times 6.66}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

a=9.36\times 10^{18}\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the electron is 9.36\times 10^{18}\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 5.50 kg sled is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal road. The sled is pulled a distance of 3.20 m by a force of 25.
kiruha [24]

(a) 69.3 J

The work done by the applied force is given by:

W=Fd cos \theta

where:

F = 25.0 N is the magnitude of the applied force

d = 3.20 m is the displacement of the sled

\theta=30^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement of the sled

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find

W=(25.0 N)(3.20 m)(cos 30^{\circ})=69.3 J

(b) 0

The problem says that the surface is frictionless: this means that no friction is acting on the sled, therefore the energy dissipated by friction must be zero.

(c) 69.3 J

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by the applied force is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the sled:

\Delta K = W

where

\Delta K is the change in kinetic energy

W is the work done

Since we already calculated W in part (a):

W = 69.3 J

We therefore know that the change in kinetic energy of the sled is equal to this value:

\Delta K=69.3 J

(d) 4.9 m/s

The change in kinetic energy of the sled can be rewritten as:

\Delta K=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2 (1)

where

Kf is the final kinetic energy

Ki is the initial kinetic energy

m = 5.50 kg is the mass of the sled

u = 0 is the initial speed of the sled

v = ? is the final speed of the sled

We can calculate the variation of kinetic energy of the sled, \Delta K, after it has travelled for d=3 m. Using the work-energy theorem again, we find

\Delta K= W = Fd cos \theta =(25.0 N)(3.0 m)(cos 30^{\circ})=65.0 J

And substituting into (1) and re-arrangin the equation, we find

v=\sqrt{\frac{2 \Delta K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(65.0 J)}{5.50 kg}}=4.9 m/s
