The lungs art part of The excretory system....
somatic nervous system is ..... autonomic nervous system....

The process in which organ systems work to maintain a stable internal environment is called homeostasis. Keeping a stable internal environment requires constant adjustments. Here are just three of the many ways that human organ systems help the body maintain homeostasis:
Respiratory system: A high concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood triggers faster breathing. The lungs exhale more frequently, which removes carbon dioxide from the body more quickly.
Excretory system: A low level of water in the blood triggers retention of water by the kidneys. The kidneys produce more concentrated urine, so less water is lost from the body.
Endocrine system: A high concentration of sugar in the blood triggers secretion of insulin by an endocrine gland called the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that helps cells absorb sugar from the blood.

The answer is b) venus because the period rotation is also referred to as a day so if venus’ period of rotation is 243 [earth] days and its year is 225 [earth] days, then the period of rotation is longer.

The electrons in the beam of a television tube have a kinetic energy of 2.20 10-15 j. initially, the electrons move horizontally

dalvyx [7]

(a) The electrons move horizontally from west to east, while the magnetic field is directed downward, toward the surface. We can determine the direction of the force on the electron by using the right-hand rule:
- index finger: velocity --> due east
- middle finger: magnetic field --> downward
- thumb: force --> due north
However, we have to take into account that the electron has negative charge, therefore we have to take the opposite direction: so, the magnetic force is directed southwards, and the electrons are deflected due south.

b) From the kinetic energy of the electrons, we can find their velocity by using
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where K is the kinetic energy, m the electron mass and v their velocity. Re-arranging the formula, we find
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 2.20 \cdot 10^{-15} J}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg} }=6.95 \cdot 10^7 m/s$

The Lorentz force due to the magnetic field provides the centripetal force that deflects the electrons:
$qvB = m \frac{v^2}{r}$
where
q is the electron charge
v is the speed
B is the magnetic field strength
m is the electron mass
r is the radius of the trajectory
By re-arranging the equation, we find the radius r:
$r= \frac{mv}{qB}= \frac{(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg)(6.95 \cdot 10^7 m/s)}{(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C)(3.00 \cdot 10^{-5} T)}=13.18 m$

And finally we can calculate the centripetal acceleration, given by:
$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}= \frac{(6.95 \cdot 10^7 m/s)^2}{13.18 m}=3.66 \cdot 10^{14} m/s^2$
