Answer:

1. Cellular respiration is the process in which cells break down glucose, release the stored energy, and use it to make ATP. The process begins in the cytoplasm and is completed in a mitochondrion. Cellular respiration occurs in three stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and electron transport.

2. How much ATP is produced in all three stages combined? Glycolysis produces 2 ATP molecules, and the Krebs cycle produces 2 more. Electron transport from the molecules of NADH and FADH2 made from glycolysis, the transformation of pyruvate, and the Krebs cycle creates as many as 32 more ATP molecules.

3. Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. ... Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by- products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.

4. Aerobic respiration takes place in presence of oxygen; whereas anaerobic respiration takes place in absence of oxygen. Carbon dioxide and water are the end products of aerobic respiration, while alcohol is the end product of anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration releases more energy than anaerobic respiration.

A 0.49-kg cord is stretched between two supports,7.3m apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave travels d

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

T= 5.18N

Explanation:

u = mass of chord / length of chord

u = 0.49/ 7.3

u = 0.067 kg/m

Velocity of sound waves (v) =length of chord / time taken for wave to travel

v = 7.3 / 0.83 = 8.795m/s

Tension is calculated below using the formula

T = v² * u

T = (8.795)² x 0.067

T= 5.18N

A runner starts from rest and in 3 s reaches a speed of 8 m/s. If we assume that the speed changed at a constant rate (constant

Stells [14]

Answer:

The average speed of the runner is 4 m/s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The average speed (a.s) is calculated by dividing the traveled distance (d) over the time needed to travel that distance (t):

a.s = d / t

So, let´s find the distance traveled in those 3 s. For that, we can use the equation of position of an object moving in a straight line with constant acceleration:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of the object at time t.

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

a = acceleration.

If we place the origin of the frame of reference at the point where the runner starts, then, x0 = 0. Since the runner starts from rest, v0 = 0. So, the equation gets reduced to this:

x = 1/2 · a · t²

We have the time (3 s), so let´s find the acceleration. For that, we can use the equation of velocity of an object moving in a straight line with constant acceleration:

v = v0 + a · t

Where "v" is the velocity at a time "t". Since v0 = 0, then:

v = a · t

At t = 3 s, v = 8 m/s

8 m/s = a · 3 s

8/3 m/s² = a

So let´s find the position of the runner at t = 3 s (In this case, the position of the runner will be equal to the traveled distance):

x = 1/2 · a · t²

x = 1/2 · 8/3 m/s² · (3 s)²

x = 12 m

Now, we can calcualte the average speed:

a.s = d/t

a.s = 12 m / 3 s

a.s = 4 m/s

The average speed of the runner is 4 m/s.

Vector a has a magnitude of 12.3 units and points due west. vector b points due north. what is the magnitude of b if a - b has a

algol [13]

The magnitude of vector b is 8.58 Unit.

Since both the vectors a and b are perpendicular to each other, so we can apply the Pythagoras theorem to calculate the magnitude of the vector b.

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

(a-b)^2=a^2+b^2

15^2=12.3^2-b^2

b=8.58 unit

Therefor the magnitude of the vector b is 8.58 unit.

A small sphere with mass m is attached to a massless rod of length L that is pivoted at the top, forming a simple pendulum. The

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

a) see attached, a = g sin θ

c) v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))

Explanation:

In the attached we can see the forces on the sphere, which are the attention of the bar that is perpendicular to the movement and the weight of the sphere that is vertical at all times. To solve this problem, a reference system is created with one axis parallel to the bar and the other perpendicular to the rod, the weight of decomposing in this reference system and the linear acceleration is given by

Wₓ = m a

W sin θ = m a

a = g sin θ

b) The diagram is the same, the only thing that changes is the angle that is less

θ' = 9/2 θ

c) At this point the weight and the force of the bar are in the same line of action, so that at linear acceleration it is zero, even when the pendulum has velocity v, so it follows its path.

The easiest way to find linear speed is to use conservation of energy

Highest point

Em₀ = mg h = mg L (1-cos tea)

Lowest point

Emf = K = ½ m v²

Em₀ = Emf

g L (1-cos θ) = v² / 2

v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))
