If, as is typical, each of them breathes about 500 cm3 of air with each breath, approximately what volume of air (in cubic meters) do these astronauts breathe in a year

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 12614.4 m^3

b) 28.8 m

Explanation:

The complete question is

Four astronauts are in a spherical space station. (a) If, as is typical, each of them breathes about 500 cm^3 of air with each breath, approximately what volume of air (in cubic meters) do these astronauts breathe in a year? (b) What would the diameter (in meters) of the space station have to be to contain all this air?

The average breathing rate is 12 breaths per minute

there are 60 minutes x 24 hours x 365 days in a year = 525600 minutes in a year

if an average human takes 12 breath per minute, then in a year an average human take 12 x 525600 = 6307200 breath

For the four astronauts, the amount of breath = 4 x 6307200 = 25228800 breath in total.

The volume of air per breath = 500 cm^3

1 cm^3 = 10^-6 m^3

500 cm^3 = [tex]x[/tex] m^3

[tex]x[/tex] = 500 x 10^-6 = 5 x 10^-4 m^3

Therefore in a year, the volume of these astronauts breath in a year = 5 x 10^-4 x 25228800 = 12614.4 m^3

b) If the space station is spherical, the volume will be given as = [tex]\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3[/tex]

where r is the radius of the space station

This volume of the space station must be able to contain all the volume of breath produced by the astronauts which is = 12614.4 m^3

Equating, we have

12614.4 = [tex]\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3[/tex]

12614.4 = [tex]\frac{4}{3}*3.142*r^3[/tex]

12614.4 = 4.1893[tex]r^{3}[/tex]

[tex]r^{3}[/tex] = 12614.4/4.1893 = 3011.1

r = [tex]\sqrt[3]{3011.1}[/tex] = 14.4 m

diameter of the space station = 14.4 m x 2 =  28.8 m

Which of the following statements helps support the endosymbiotic theory?

Choose 1 answer:

(Choice A) A The Golgi body is a membrane-bound organelle within eukaryotes that was once a free-living prokaryote.

(Choice B) B If isolated from a eukaryotic cell, mitochondria can survive and reproduce on their own.

(Choice C) C Both mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA that is different from the nuclear DNA of the larger host cell.

(Choice D) D The lysosome is a membrane-bound organelle within eukaryotes that was once a free-living prokaryote.

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Both mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA that is different from the nuclear DNA of the larger host cell.

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) actually more closely resemble the structure of prokaryotic DNA (circular) as compared to the structure of eukaryotic DNA (linear).

The endosymbiotic theory proposes that mitochondria and chloroplast were once independent prokaryotic organisms that survived endocytosis by an early eukaryotic cell.

The statement "both mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA that is different from the nuclear DNA of the larger host cell"  helps support the endosymbiotic theory (Option C).

The lines of evidence that support the endosymbiotic theory include:

Both mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own circular DNA and divide by binary fission.

Both mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own bacteria-like ribosomes (70 S).

Both mitochondria and chloroplasts have a similar size as prokaryotic cells.

In conclusion, the statement "both mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA that is different from the nuclear DNA of the larger host cell"  helps support the endosymbiotic theory (Option C).

Answers

Answer:

Opposite charges attract each other, which means that a positive charge from a proton will attract negative charge from an electron.

Explanation:

Opposite charges attract because because their forced act in the same direction, which pulls them together. Protons are always positively charged subatomic particles and electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles. This attraction between the protons and electrons in atoms is what enables them to stay together and bond with other atoms.

Explanation:

a force of 5 N extends a spring of natural length 0.5m by 0.01, what will be the length of the spring when the applied force is 20 N​

Answers

Answer:

L_new =L+x^2  = L_new = 0.54_m.

Explanation:

Given data:

Force in the first case,  

F_1 = 5N

Force in the second case,  

F_2 = 20 N

Natural length of spring,  

L= 0.5

Extension in the first case,  

x_1 = 0.01m

Let the force constant of the spring be k.

Thus,

F_1=kx_1

5 = k × 0.01  

⇒ k = 500 N/m.

The extension in the spring in the second case can be given as,

F_2=kx_2

20 = 500x_2

⇒ x_2 = 0.04 m.

Thus, the effective length of the spring would be,

L_new =L+x^2

L_new = 0.5+0.04

L_new = 0.54_m.

A boat sails along the shore. To an observer, the boat appears to move at a speed of 11 m/s, and a man on the boat walking forward appears to have a speed of 12.4 m/s. How long does it take the man to move 6 m relative to the boat? A. 0.48 s B. 4.29 s C. 0.55 s D. 1.5 s

Answers

Answer:

B. 4.29s

Explanation:

If the man appears to move 12.4m/s when the boat appears to move 11m/s, it means that the man moves 1.4m on the boat (12.4-11=1.4). So if the man moves 1.4m per second then it will take him 6/1.4=4.29s to move 6 m relative to the boat.

Answer:

Independent Variable: Watching cartoon alone or with others

Dependent Variable: how funny they found the cartoon to be

Explanation:

A dependent variable is the variable being tested. The change in the value of dependent variable depends on the independent variable.

An independent variable is used to test the effects on dependent variable and its does not depend on any variable.

In the above example the dependent variable is how funny the cartoon was. This is being tested and it is tested by independent variable i.e. Students watching cartoon either alone or with others. So the cartoon is funny or not depends on watching cartoon alone or with friends.

What is a plant cell?

The smallest unit of all plants in the cell. Like animal cells, plant cells are eukaryotic, which means they have an organelle- and membrane-bound nucleus.

This turgor pressure maintains the cell's rigidity and gives plant structures like leaves their distinctive shapes.

When a plant goes for an extended period of time without water, the central vacuoles lose water, the cells deform, and the entire leaf wilts.

The central vacuole of a plant cell is damaged. Storage of water is the function that is most affected by the damage.

Hence, option D is correct.

Sobre un cuerpo de masa 45 kg, se aplica una fuerza (F), la cual produce una aceleración cuya magnitud es 5 m -s2

Answers

Answer:

225kgm/s² or 225N

Explanation:

La fórmula de Fuerza = Masa × Aceleración

Masa = 45 kg

Aceleración = 5 m / s²

Fuerza = 45 kg × 5 m / s²

= 225 kgm / s² o 225N

Por lo tanto, la Fuerza que actúa sobre = 225 kgm / s² o 225N

If the toy helicopter weighs 115 N and is hovering motionless in the air, which of these options MOST accurately describes the force that the helicopter's propeller must exert?

Answers

Answer:

If the helicopter is not moving, then it is not being accelerated.

By second Newton's law we have that:

F = m*a

Force equals mass times acceleration.

Then if we do not have acceleration, we have:

F = m*a = m*0 = 0.

Then the total force must be zero.

So if the gravitational force (pulling down) is 115N, then the force of the propeller must be such that:

Total force = F - 115N = 0

F = 115N

The force of the propeller must be also of 115N, but in the opposite direction.

Pierre cycles at 4 miles per hour and travels a distance of 13 miles. How long
does his journey take?

Answers

Answer:

His journey took him 3 hours 15 minutes.

Explanation: 4 miles every hour. So 1 hr is equal to 4 miles, 2 hrs is equal to 8 miles, 3 hrs is equal to 12 miles. Now he just has 1 miles left, and since it takes him a hour to cycle 4 miles, 60 divided by 4 is 15. Therefore, 1 mile is equal to 15 minutes.

Time = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (13 mi) / (4 mi/hr)

Time = 3.25 hr  or  3hr 15min .

A man weighs 90 N on the surface of earth of radius R at what height above the surface of earth is weight will be 40 N.

Answers

Answer:

3/2 R

Explanation:

Let the Mass of man be m, Mass of earth be M.

By Newtons, law of gravitation,

F = GMm/R^2, Where G is gravitational constant

90 = GMm/R^2

When man weighs 40N,

GMm/(New R)^2 = 40

= 4/9 (90)

GMm/(New R)^2 = 4/9 (GMm/R^2)

(New R)^2 = 9/4 R^2

New R = 3/2 R

Therefore, height is 3/2 R
