    Protein foods also supply energy to the body. If the person eats a lot of protein foods, the body uses the energy in the protein foods instead of using stored fat in the body. Is this statement correct? I'd think our bodies will use protein as source of energy only when we are in a state of starvation. Protein taken should be converted into amino acids first and then used to synthesize usable protein and excess are excreted.

    Hi Guys, For a physics practical investigation I will be investigating the change in height (angle) of an inclined plane and the time taken to travel down the incline. Now for my hypothesis and results I am a bit stuck. For the hypothesis I will be using the following formula. x=ut+.5at^2 Where: x=distance down the incline plane (meters) u=Initial velocity (m/s) t=time taken to travel down (seconds) a=acceleration down the incline plane (m/s/s meters per second per second) Now for our situation x=1.58 u=0 t=? a=gSinΦ (Φ varies with different heights) So now I can build a relationship between the height (or the angle of inclination) and the tim…

    This is a question where i have absolutely NO idea where to start: How long does it take for radiation from a cesium-133 atom to complete 1 million cycles? (ans: 1.087828 x 10^-4s) Also another question: Your friend holds a ruler by one end, letting the other end hang vertically. At the lower end, you hold your thumb and index finger on either side of the ruler, ready to grip it. Your friend releases the ruler without warning. You catch it as quickly as u can. if you catch the ruler 5.2cm from the lower end, what is your reaction time? (ans: 0.1s) (I can't seem to gather enough info from the question except for distance = 5.2cm and g = 9.8m/s...) Can anyo…

    Hi, couple of questions i don't have a single clue how to answer. Four identical cells, each of emf 1.5V and internal resistance 2.0 ohms are connected in parallel by joining like terminals together. A 7.0 ohm resistor is then connected from the positive to the negativ eterminals. Calculate the current through the 7.0 ohm resisitor!?!?!? and... A generator of emf 20v and internal resistance 0.50 ohms is used to charge a car battery of emf 12V and internal resistance 0.10 ohm. They are connected in series together with a resistance R whose value is adjusted to give a charging current of 2.0A. what is: total emf in the circuit The value of R the …

    I worked out the problem...I'm just not sure if it's correct. A baseball is popped straight up into the air and has a hang-time of 6.25 s. Determine the height to which the ball rises before it reaches its peak. It seems simple enough... First I used vf = vi + a*t I figured it out to be vi = 30.6 m/s Then I used vf^2 = vi^2 + 2ad My final answer was d = 47.9 m P.S. I'd be very grateful if someone would tell me if I'm in the right direction atleast

  15. Hey i am currently studying for a physics exam and the questions we have been given have answers to only the odd numbered questions. But i like to be throuhgly prepared for exams and so am doing all of them. As you have probably guessed by now i need some help with an even numbered question. I think i have done it, but i am pretty unsure, so i would really really like to check if my answer is correct. I will attach the problem as a picture. Thanks Sarah p.s i wasn't sure whether to post here or in the physics:classical mechanics section of the forums. tell me if i should repost or whatever

A fountain rises to a height of 560ft. a) what is the initial speed of the water? b) how long does it take for the water to raeach the top of the fountain?

    I've heard of so many ways to bring your grade up in a month before the quarter ends. But... none of them work unfortunately and I'm aiming for a private school next year. And if I don't make this third quarter cut I may not make it in. Some ways I've heard are extra credit, cutting the "fun" permantly from your life and just FOCUS all your attention on your work, sucking up to the teach, and finally counseling. All these don't work. Trust me. Some study tips are kindly accpeted and can someone tell me how to get rid of this metal block. I CANT THINK STRAIGHT. I thought my name was Bob one day!

    At the moment I am doing a project on the allele for prescence of mid phalangeal hair.. What I have to do is pretty much collect a bunch of data, stick it in excel, and ramble for a few pages. I would like a more thorough definition of what it is, but there doesn't seem to be much information around about it. Obviously it is the prescence of hair in the middle joint of a persons fingers, and I see that it is dominant, but that is about all I can gather.. Does anyone know any more about this?

    SuP. Have 2 questions about electricity. This is from an assignment, I'm finished, except for these 2. 1. List how you could increase the size of the electric current produced by a generator. 2. Draw a cross-section of a moving coil loud speaker and label the components. I can't find a cross-section of the ..... in a speaker on the net, and best I found wasn't all that good my teacher said, and now I forgot the site. How do you increase the size of the current made by a generator? Do you use a transformer? What are other ways? I'd really appreciate some help, this is due this friday. Thanks.
