NASA has proposed a mission to one of Jupiter's moons to look for potential signs of life. The spacecraft will have 9,862.5 Joul

es of potential energy when it is 60 meters above the surface. If the spacecraft has a mass of 125 kg, what is the gravitational constant of the moon? (units will be m/s^2)

Answer: The gravitational constant of the moon is 1.315ms^{-2}

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position.

P.E=mgh

where

P.E = potential energy = 9862.5 J

m = mass of object = 125 kg

g =  gravitation constant   = ?

h = height of object = 60 m

Putting the values we get :

9862.5kgm^2s^{-2}=125kg\times g\times 60m

g=1.315ms^{-2}

Which of the following organic molecules may have up to four levels of structure? A. Proteins B. Lipids C. Nucleic Acids D. Carb
masha68 [24]
The correct answer is proteins.

Proteins have four structures; (1) primary, (2) secondary, (3) tertiary, and (4) quaternary. Primary structures of proteins are formation of peptides and the peptide bonds between amino acids. Secondary structures of proteins involves the amino acid composition leading to hydrophobic interactions forming either alpha helices or beta sheets. Interactions between secondary structures of proteins will make the tertiary structure which is either soluble (globular) or insoluble (fibrous) proteins. Quaternary structures are the combination of two or more tertiary structures and these are called subunits.
