d) Gravity, a normal force, and kinetic friction When the bobsledder propels her sled across the flat snow to initiate movement, once she leaps in, gravity affects the total weight of the sled including the bobsledder. As the sled advances horizontally and not vertically, a normal force is present acting upwards against gravity. As the sled travels along the flat surface and gradually stops, a kinetic friction force acts against the motion.

A kinesin that is transporting a secretory vesicle uses approximately 80 ATP molecules/s. Each ATP provides a kinesin molecule w
inna [2210]

Answer:

The force is  F = 8*10^{-12} \ N

Explanation:

According to the inquiry, we understand that

     The rate at which ATP molecules are utilized is R = 80 ATP/ s

       The energy yielded by a single ATP molecule is  E_{ATP} = 0.8 * 10^{-19} J

       The kinesin's velocity is  v = 800 nm/s = 800*10^{-9} m/s

The power generated by the ATP in one second can be expressed mathematically as

       P = E_{ATP} * R

After substituting the values

       P = 80 * 0.8*10^{-19 }

       P = 6.4 *10^{-18}J/s

Now this power can be represented mathematically as

       P = F * v

Where  F indicates the force exerted by the kinesin

Therefore

          F = \frac{P}{v}

after substituting input values

            F = \frac{6.4*0^{-18}}{800 *10^{-9}}

           F = 8*10^{-12} \ N

What is meant in astronomy by the phrase "adaptive optics?
kicyunya [2264]

Response: a. The mirrors and eyepiece of a large telescope are designed with spring-loaded components to quickly return to a predetermined position.

Justification:

Adaptive optics refers to a technique employed by various astronomical observatories to compensate in real-time for the atmospheric turbulence that impacts astronomical imaging.

This is executed by integrating advanced deformable mirrors into the telescope's optical pathway, operated by a set of computer-controlled actuators. This allows for obtaining clearer images despite the atmospheric fluctuations that create distortions.

It is crucial to note that this process requires a moderately bright reference star located closely to the object being studied.

However, locating such stars is not always feasible, prompting the use of a strong laser beam directed at the upper atmosphere to create artificial stars.

Suppose that 8 turns of a wire are wrapped around a pipe with a length of 60 inches and a circumference of 4​ inches, so that th
inna [2210]

Answer:

The wire length is 32 inches.

Explanation:

According to the question,

The pipe's length = 60 inches

The pipe's circumference = 4 inches

Now,

The wire wraps around the pipe for 8 complete turns.

Now, with 2πr = 4, we find that

r = 2/π

Thus,

The radius, r = 2/π

The wire's length can be calculated as,

Length = Number of turns x Circumference of the pipe

So, length of wire = 8 x 4 = 32 inches.

Consequently, the wire length is 32 inches.

a fixed mass of a n ideal gas is heated from 50 to 80C at a constant pressure at 1 atm and again at a constant pressure of 3 atm
inna [2210]

Answer:

The required energy remains identical in both scenarios since the specific heat capacity (Cp) does not change with varying pressure.

Explanation:

Given;

initial temperature, t₁ = 50 °C

final temperature, t₂ = 80 °C

Temperature change, ΔT = 80 °C - 50 °C = 30 °C

Pressure for scenario one = 1 atm

Pressure for scenario two = 3 atm

The energy needed in both scenarios is expressed as;

Q = M*C_p*\delta T

Where;

Cp denotes specific heat capacity, which only varies with temperature and remains unaffected by pressure.

Hence, the energy required remains the same for both scenarios since specific heat capacity (Cp) is pressure-independent.
