How does a car safely transfer the kinetic energy of the passenger and the car?

Yanka [14]2 years ago

Energy transfer is an extension of Newton’s Laws. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed; it can only be transferred. The moving body has energy, called kinetic energy, and this energy will be transferred into something else as the body slows. Likewise, the car crashing into you will transfer its kinetic energy to you. The other type of energy is potential energy, or stored energy. Think of a spring. When you pull it, you are storing energy. When you let it go, this potential energy is transferred into kinetic energy as motion. Car manufacturers engineer a purposeful flaw into the structure, the Crumble Zone. This Crumble Zone is a structurally assigned place for kinetic energy to be transferred into potential energy in the case of an accident. When two cars collide, the kinetic energy is used up to fold the metal of the auto, keeping the destructive energy out of the passengers. The same science is behind the recommendation that motorcyclists wear helmets and body armor. Auto crumble zones, as well as air bags, helmet foam and Kevlar, are all methods for converting harmful kinetic energy into safe potential energy.

Cytoplasm is a mixture of what two things?
alexira [117]

In cell biology, the cytoplasm is the material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the cell nucleus. It comprises cytosol (the gel-like substance enclosed within the cell membrane) and the organelles – the cell's internal sub-structures. All of the contents of the cells of prokaryote organisms (such as bacteria, which lack a cell nucleus) are contained within the cytoplasm. Within the cells of eukaryote organisms the contents of the cell nucleus are separated from the cytoplasm, and are then called thenucleoplasm. The cytoplasm is about 80% water and usually colorless.[1]

It is within the cytoplasm that most cellular activities occur, such as many metabolic pathways including glycolysis, and processes such as cell division. The concentrated inner area is called the endoplasm and the outer layer is called the cell cortex or theectoplasm.

Movement of calcium ions in and out of the cytoplasm is a signaling activity for metabolic processes.[2]

In plants, movement of the cytoplasm around vacuoles is known as cytoplasmic streaming.

Practice with Dilution Calculations IV,
larisa [96]

Answer:

THE INITIAL VOLUME OF THE STOCK SOLUTION IS 0.0392 L OR 39.2 mL

Explanation:

To calculate the volume of a solution before dilution, we make use of the dilution formula;

C1 V1 = C2 V2

C1 = the concentration of the stock solution = 15 M

V 1 = the volume of stock solution = ?

C2 = concentartion of final solution = 2.35 M

V2 = volume of final solution = 250 mL = 250/ 1000 = 0.25 L

Rearranging the formula, we obtain;

V1 = C2V2 / C1

V 1 = 2.35 * 0.25 / 15

V1 = 0.5875 / 15

V1 = 0.0392 L

the initial volume of the stock solution is 0.0392 L or 39.2 mL
