Why do some ladders have a white tip or reflective tape attached to the tip?

Which of the following statements about glycogen metabolism is FALSE?

Ratling [72]

Answer:

Glycogen is the primary energy source for muscle and liver cells.

Explanation:

Glycogen is a readily mobilized storage form of glucose. It is a very large, branched polymer of glucose residues that can be broken down to yield glucose molecules when energy is needed. Most of the glucose residues in glycogen are linked by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds. Branches at about every tenth residue are created by α-1,6-glycosidic bonds.

Glycogen is not as reduced as fatty acids are and consequently not as energy rich. Why do animals store any energy as glycogen? Why not convert all excess fuel into fatty acids? Glycogen is an important fuel reserve for several reasons. The controlled breakdown of glycogen and release of glucose increase the amount of glucose that is available between meals. Hence, glycogen serves as a buffer to maintain blood-glucose levels. Glycogen's role in maintaining blood-glucose levels is especially important because glucose is virtually the only fuel used by the brain, except during prolonged starvation. Moreover, the glucose from glycogen is readily mobilized and is therefore a good source of energy for sudden, strenuous activity. Unlike fatty acids, the released glucose can provide energy in the absence of oxygen and can thus supply energy for anaerobic activity.

Windmills slow the air and cause it to fill a larger channel as it passes through the blades. Consider a circular windmill with

Scilla [17]

Answer:

DIAMETER = 9.797 m

POWER = $\dot W = 28.6 kW$

Explanation:

Given data:

circular windmill diamter D1 = 8m

v1 = 12 m/s

wind speed = 8 m/s

we know that specific volume is given as

$v =\frac{RT}{P}$

where v is specific volume of air

considering air pressure is 100 kPa and temperature 20 degree celcius

$v = \frac{0.287\times 293}{100}$

v = 0.8409 m^3/ kg

from continuity equation

$A_1 V_1 = A_2 V_2$

$\frac{\pi}{4}D_1^2 V_1 = \frac{\pi}{4}D_1^2 V_2$

$D_2 = D_1 \sqrt{\frac{V_1}{V_2}}$

$D_2 = 8 \times \sqrt{\frac{12}{8}}$

$D_2 = 9.797 m$

mass flow rate is given as

$\dot m = \frac{A_1 V_1}{v} = \frac{\pi 8^2\times 12}{4\times 0.8049}$

$\dot m = 717.309 kg/s$

the power produced $\dot W = \dot m \frac{ V_1^2 - V_2^2}{2} = 717.3009 [\frac{12^2 - 8^2}{2} \times \frac{1 kJ/kg}{1000 m^2/s^2}]$

$\dot W = 28.6 kW$

A sign erected on uneven ground is guyed by cables EF and EG. If the force exerted by cable EF at E is 46 lb, determine the mome

Vikki [24]

Answer:

M_AD = 1359.17 lb-in

Explanation:

Given:

- T_ef = 46 lb

Find:

- Moment of that force T_ef about the line joining points A and D.

Solution:

- Find the position of point E:

mag(BC) = sqrt ( 48^2 + 36^2) = 60 in

BE / BC = 45 / 60 = 0.75

Hence, E = < 0.75*48 , 96 , 36*0.75> = < 36 , 96 , 27 > in

- Find unit vector EF:

mag(EF) = sqrt ( (21-36)^2 + (96+14)^2 + (57-27)^2 ) = 115 in

vec(EF) = < -15 , -110 , 30 >

unit(EF) = (1/115) * < -15 , -110 , 30 >

- Tension T_EF = (46/115) * < -15 , -110 , 30 > = < -6 , -44 , 12 > lb

- Find unit vector AD:

mag(AD) = sqrt ( (48)^2 + (-12)^2 + (36)^2 ) = 12*sqrt(26) in

vec(AD) = < 48 , -12 , 36 >

unit(AD) = (1/12*sqrt(26)) * < 48 , -12 , 36 >

unit (AD) = <0.7845 , -0.19612 , 0.58835 >

$M_d = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.7845&-0.19612&0.58835\\36&96&27\\-6&-44&12\end{array}\right]$

M_AD = 1835.73 + 116.49528 - 593.0568

M_AD = 1359.17 lb-in
