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.

The inclined plane in the figure above has two sections of equal length and different roughness. The dashed line shows where sec
saveliy_v [14]

The static friction exerted on the block by the incline is \mu _ s _1 Mgcos \ \theta.

The given parameters;

  • <em>mass of the block, = M</em>
  • <em>coefficient of static friction in section 1, = </em>\mu_s_1<em />
  • <em>angle of inclination of the plane, = θ</em>

<em />

The normal force on the block is calculated as follows;

Fₙ = Mgcosθ

The static friction exerted on the block by the incline is calculated as follows;

F_s = \mu_s F_n\\\\F_s = \mu _s_1(Mg cos\ \theta)\\\\F_s = \mu _s_1 Mgcos\ \theta

Thus, the static friction exerted on the block by the incline is \mu _ s _1 Mgcos \ \theta

A man pushes a drum of oil 10kg up an incline OA. If OA is 5m and AB is 3m, what is the potential energy of the drum at A.​
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

294 Joules

Explanation:

From the question;

  • Mass of the drum is 10 kg
  • The length of inclined surface, OA is 5 m
  • The final height of the drum on the plane AB is 3 m

We are required to determine the potential energy of the drum at A

We know that potential energy is given by the formula;

Potential energy = mgh

where m is the mass, g is the gravitational pull and h is the height

Taking g as 9.8 N/kg

Then;

Potential energy = 10 kg × 9.8 N/kg × 3 m

                            = 294 Joules

Thus, the potential energy of the drum at A is 294 Joules

There are devices to put in a light socket that control the current through a lightbulb, thereby increasing its lifetime. Which
Dmitrij [34]

Answer: B

Explanation:

Limiting the maximum current through the bulb. This will help in preserving or improving the bulb's lifetime and also this won't have an effect on the brightness of the bulb as brightness is affected by the average value. Although brightness is a factor of current, reducing the maximum current won't have any bearing on the average current the bulb is getting.
