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.

What color of light must blue light mix with to create white light?
schepotkina [342]
<h2>Answer: a. Yellow </h2>

According to the additive theory of color, when we join the <u>three primary colors of light</u> (Red + Green + Blue) we get White light.

On the other hand we have <u>secondary colors of ligh</u>t that are:

Yellow = Red + Green

Magenta = Blue + Red

Cyan = Blue + Green

Now, if we know that:

Red + Green + Blue = White

And:

Red + Green = Yellow

Then:

<h2>Yellow + Blue = White</h2>

As a city planner, you receive complaints from local residents about the safety of nearby roads and streets. One complaint conce
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

a)   x₁ = 290.50 feet ,  x₂ = 169.74 feet , b)  v_max= 41 mph

Explanation:

For this exercise we will work in two parts, the first with Newton's second law to find the acceleration of vehicles

X Axis          fr = m a

Y Axis          N-W = 0

                    N = W = mg

The force of friction has the expression

                  fr = μ N

We replace

                 μ mg = ma

                 a = μ g

                 g = 32 feet / s²

Let's calculate the acceleration for each coefficient and friction

μ              a (feet / s2)

0.599       19.168

0.536       17,152

0.480       15.360

0.350        11.200

These are the acceleration values, for the maximum distance we use the minimum acceleration (a₁ = 11,200 feet / s²) and for the minimum braking distance we use the maximum acceleration (x₂ = 19,168 feet / s²)

                 v² = v₀² - 2 a x

When the speed stops it is zero

                 x₁ = v₀² / 2 a₁

                         

Let's reduce speed

            v₀ = 55mph (5280 foot / 1 mile) (1h / 3600s) = 80,667 feet / s²

Let's calculate the maximum braking distance

            x₁ = 80.667² / (2 11.2)

            x₁ = 290.50 feet

The minimum braking distance

            x₂ = 80.667² / (2 19.168)

            x₂ = 169.74 feet

b) maximum speed to stop at distance x = 155 feet

            0 = v₀² - 2 a x

            v₀ = √2 a x

We calculate the speed for the two accelerations

             v₀₁ = √ (2 11.2 155)

             v₀₁ = 58.92 feet / s

       

             v₀₂ = √ (2 19.168 155)

             v₀₂ = 77.08 feet / s

To stop at the distance limit in the worst case the maximum speed must be 58.92 feet / s = 40.85 mph = 41 mph

Which of the following would decrease the magnetic field around a wire?
shusha [124]
The correct answer is
<span>A. decreasing the current

In fact, the magnetic field produced by a current carrying wire is given by
</span>B(r) =  \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}
<span>where
</span>\mu_0 is the vacuum permeability
<span>I is the current in the wire
r is the distance from the wire at which the field is calculated

We see from the formula that the intensity of the field, B, is directly proportional to the current I, so if the current decreases, the magnetic field strength B decreases as well.</span>

A housefly walking across a clean surface can accumulate a significant positive or negative charge. In one experiment, the large
Lisa [10]

Answer:

4.56*10^8 \text{    electrons.}

Explanation:

Since the fly accumulated a positive charge of +73pC, it must have lost an equal number of negative charge of -73pC to the surface (because the housefly was neutral to begin with).

Therefore, to answer our question we have to ask ourselves <em>how many electrons combine to make -73pC of charge? </em>

The answer is since one electron carries a charge of -1.6*10^{-19}C, the number n of electrons that make up -73pC (-73*10^{-12}C) are

n= \dfrac{-73*10^{-12}C}{-1.6*10^{-19}C/e}

\boxed{n= 4.56*10^8e.}

Thus, the housefly lost about 456 million electrons to the surface!
