How are the energy conversions of machines similar to the energy conversions in your body

Physics

sleet_krkn [62]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

When we eat food, our body gets chemical energy from it. Now, this chemical energy from the food is changed into some different energy forms that is useful to it. They include:

-Chemical to mechanical energy to aid in movement of muscles

- chemical to thermal energy to aid in regulating the body temperature.

- chemical to electrical energy to aid the brain in thinking.

Thus is similar to how a machine converts energy because machines also generate energy after being powered and convert to other forms of energy. For example, an alarm clock converts electrical energy to sound energy, hair dryer converts electrical energy to thermal/heat energy.

A small button placed on a horizontal rotating platform with diameter 0.520 m will revolve with the platform when it is brought
yawa3891 [41]

For the position of button we can use force balance as

Friction Force = Centripetal force

so here we will have

\mu_s mg = m\omega^2 R

here we know that

R = radius of circle where button is placed

\omega = 2\pi f

f = 35 rev/min

f = \frac{35}{60} rev/s = 0.58 rev/s

\omega = 2\pi (0.58) = 3.66 rad/s

now from above equation

\mu_s(m)(9.81) = (3.66)^2(0.240)

\mu_s = 0.33

so friction coefficient will be 0.33

An incident ray strikes a boundary at a 72.5-degree angle, resulting in an angle of refraction of 39.6 degrees. The index of ref
maks197457 [2]
A. Medium 1 is air. The refractive index of air is 1.0003. Refractive index is a measure of the bending of a ray of light when passing from one medium to another. If i is the angle of incidence of a ray in vacuum and r is the angle of refraction, the refractive index n is defined as the ratio of the sine angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction; that is, n= sin i/ sin r. Refractive index may also be given by the velocity of light in medium 1 divided by the velocity of light in medium 2.


b. In this case the refractive index = sin 72.5/sin 39.6 
                                                   = 1.4962 
but n = x/ 1.0003 = 1.4962
Therefore; x = 1.4967
Hence the refractive index of medium 2 is 1.4967. 
I therefore think that medium 2 is toluene; since it has a similar refractive index.

How many protons are in this atom if it has a balanced charge? 0 2 4 6
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

For an atom to have a balanced charged, the number of protons shall be equal to the number of electrons of an atom. proton is the positive part of an atom whereas electrons are the negative part of an atom. Only if the number of protons will be equal to the number of electron, the atom will be able to be neutral.

If the number of electron will be more, then the atom will be negative. If the number of electron will be less, then the atom will be positive.

From Newton's law v^2 = u^2 + 2as where a is the acceleration and s is the distance.  
But to go any further, we need to know how fast the vehicle is accelerating 
 From v = u +at
 We have a = u/t where the final velocity v = 0

 So in one minute acceleration = (35 / 60) / 60 = 0.0097 ms/2. The first
experession in bracket is the initial velocity, u, in metres per seconds. 
 Hence v^2 = (0.583)^2 + 2 (0.0097)(30)
 v^2 = 0.3398 + 0.5826 = 0.9224
 v = âš 0.9224 = 0.960m
