Answer:

Yeast can use oxygen to release the energy from sugar (like you can) in the process called "respiration". ... So, the more sugar there is, the more active the yeast will be and the faster its growth (up to a certain point - even yeast cannot grow in very strong sugar - such as honey).

High-speed stroboscopic photographs show that the head of a 210-g golf club is traveling at 56 m/s just before it strikes a 46-g

tamaranim1 [39]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of golf club, m₁ = 210 g = 0.21 kg

Initial velocity of golf club, u₁ = 56 m/s

Mass of another golf ball which is at rest, m₂ = 46 g = 0.046 kg

After the collision, the club head travels (in the same direction) at 42 m/s. We need to find the speed of the golf ball just after impact. Let it is v.

Initial momentum of golf ball, $p_i=m_1u_1=0.21\ kg\times 56\ m/s=11.76\ kg-m/s$

After the collision, final momentum $p_f=0.21\ kg\times 42\ m/s+0.046v$

Using the conservation of momentum as :

$p_i=p_f$

$11.76\ kg-m/s=0.21\ kg\times 42\ m/s+0.046v$

v = 63.91 m/s

So, the speed of the golf ball just after impact is 63.91 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

The efficiency of a device such as a lamp can be calculated using this equation:

loris [4]

efficiency = (useful energy transferred ÷ energy supplied) × 100

It's easy to use this formula, but we have to know both the useful energy and the energy supplied. The drawing doesn't tell us the useful energy, so we have to find a clever way to figure it out. I see two ways to do it:

Way #1:

We all know about the law of conservation of energy. So we know that the total energy coming out must be 250J, because that's how much energy is going in. The wasted energy is 75J, so the rest of the 250J must be the useful energy . . . (250J - 75J) = 175J useful energy.

(useful energy) / (energy supplied) = (175J) / (250J) = 70% efficiency

================================

Way #2:

How much of the energy is wasted ? . . . 75J wasted

What percentage of the Input is that 75J ? . . . 75/250 = 30% wasted

30% of the input energy is wasted. That leaves the other 70% to be useful energy.
