Answer:

Cis, Trans.

Explanation:

Rhodopsin also known as visual purple, pigment which contains sensory protein that helps to convert light into an electrical signal. Rhodopsin present in wide range of organisms from bacteria to vertebrates.

Rhodopsin is composed of opsin, and 11-cis-retinaldehyde which is derived from vitamin A. When the eye contact with light the 11-cis component converted to all trans-retinal, which results in the changes in configuration fundamental in the rhodopsin molecule.

A plane has an average air speed (this is the speed the plane moves through air) of 750 mph. The plane flies a route of 5000 mil
Digiron [165]

Answer:

6 hours 15 minutes

Explanation:

On the trip from L.A. to London, the plane travels at 750 mph against a headwind of 50 mph, and that makes the net 700 mph (in aviation speak, 750 is the airspeed, while 700 is the groundspeed).  5000 miles divided by 700 mph results in about 7.14 hours, or about 7 hours and 9 minutes.  On the return trip, ASSUMING THE SAME WIND, the plane travels at 750 mph, but this time the wind of 50 mph is a tail wind.  So the net (groundspeed) is 800 mph.  Traveling 5000 miles at 800 mph only takes 6.25 hours, or 6 hours and 15 minutes.  

Outbound flight 7 hours 9 minutes

Return flight 6 hours 15 minutes

Before leaving the house in the morning, you plop some stew in your slow cooker and turn it on Low. The slow cooker has a 160 Oh
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Total charge flow through the cooker is 21600 C

Explanation:

As we know that the current flow through the cooker is given by Ohm's law

here it is given as

V = i R

i = \frac{V}{R}

i = \frac{120}{160}

i = \frac{3}{4} A

now the charge flow through it is given as

Q = i t

total time is t = 8 hours

Q = \frac{3}{4}(8 \times 60 \times 60)

Q = 21600 C

The δe of a system that releases 12.4 j of heat and does 4.2 j of work on the surroundings is __________ j.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The answer for this problem is clarified through this, the system is absorbing (+). And now see that it uses that the SURROUNDINGS are doing 84 KJ of work. Any time a system is overshadowing work done on it by the surroundings the sign will be +. So it's just 12.4 KJ + 4.2 = 16.6 KJ.
