They would be likely to be underweight. This is because the role of villi is to increase absorption of soluble molecules, they do this by increasing surface area for absorption to occur across.
If the person has less villi than normal in their small intestine, then the surface area will not be as large meaning there is less area for absorption to occur across so less soluble molecules will be absorbed.

Calculate the energy released in joules when one mole of polonium-214 decays according to the following equation21484 Po -->
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

ΔE = 8.77 × 10¹¹ J

Explanation:

given,

²¹⁴₈₄Po -----> ²¹⁰₈₂Pb + 42 He

Atomic masses: Pb-210 = 209.98284 amu

Po-214 = 213.99519 amu

He-4 = 4.00260 amu

1 kg = 6.022 × 10²⁶ amu;

NA = 6.022 × 10²³ mol⁻¹

c = 2.99792458 × 10⁸ m/s

energy of molecule using equation

ΔE = Δm c²

Δm is mass difference and c is speed of light

Δm = 209.98284 + 4.00260 - 213.99519

Δm = - 0.00975 amu

1 amu = 1.66 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

- 0.00975 amu = - 0.00975 x 1.66 x 10⁻²⁷ Kg

                         = -0.016185 x 10⁻²⁷ Kg

total mass = 6.022 × 10²³ x -0.016185 x 10⁻²⁷

                 = -0.097467 x 10⁻⁴ Kg

ΔE = -(0.097467 x 10⁻⁴) (3 x 10^8)²

ΔE = - 8.77 × 10¹¹

ΔE = 8.77 × 10¹¹ J

1)After catching the ball, Sarah throws it back to Julie. However, Sarah throws it too hard so it is over Julie's head when it r
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

1)

v_{oy}=11.29\ m/s

2)

y=7.39\ m

Explanation:

<u>Projectile Motion</u>

When an object is launched near the Earth's surface forming an angle \theta with the horizontal plane, it describes a well-known path called a parabola. The only force acting (neglecting the effects of the wind) is the gravity, which acts on the vertical axis.

The heigh of an object can be computed as

\displaystyle y=y_o+V_{oy}t-\frac{gt^2}{2}

Where y_o is the initial height above the ground level, v_{oy} is the vertical component of the initial velocity and t is the time

The y-component of the speed is

v_y=v_{oy}-gt

1) We'll find the vertical component of the initial speed since we have not enough data to compute the magnitude of v_o

The object will reach the maximum height when v_y=0. It allows us to compute the time to reach that point

v_{oy}-gt_m=0

Solving for t_m

\displaystyle t_m=\frac{v_{oy}}{g}

Thus, the maximum heigh is

\displaystyle y_m=y_o+\frac{v_{oy}^2}{2g}

We know this value is 8 meters

\displaystyle y_o+\frac{v_{oy}^2}{2g}=8

Solving for v_{oy}

\displaystyle v_{oy}=\sqrt{2g(8-y_o)}

Replacing the known values

\displaystyle v_{oy}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(8-1.5)}

\displaystyle v_{oy}=11.29\ m/s

2) We know at t=1.505 sec the ball is above Julie's head, we can compute

\displaystyle y=y_o+V_{oy}t-\frac{gt^2}{2}

\displaystyle y=1.5+(11.29)(1.505)-\frac{9.8(1.505)^2}{2}

\displaystyle y=1.5\ m+16,991\ m-11.098\ m

y=7.39\ m

A black, totally absorbing piece of cardboard of area A = 1.7 cm2 intercepts light with an intensity of 8.1 W/m2 from a camera s
Furkat [3]

Answer:

2.7x10⁻⁸ N/m²

Explanation:

Since the piece of cardboard absorbs totally the light, the radiation pressure can be found using the following equation:

p_{rad} = \frac{I}{c}

<u>Where:</u>

p_{rad}: is the radiation pressure

I: is the intensity of the light = 8.1 W/m²

c: is the speed of light = 3.00x10⁸ m/s

Hence, the radiation pressure is:

p_{rad} = \frac{I}{c} = \frac{8.1 W/m^{2}}{3.00 \cdot 10^{8} m/s} = 2.7 \cdot 10^{-8} N/m^{2}

Therefore, the radiation pressure that is produced on the cardboard by the light is 2.7x10⁻⁸ N/m².

I hope it helps you!

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

choosing a material that will show warning before it fails

Explanation:

According to my research on different architectural engineering techniques, I can say that based on the information provided within the question this is an example of choosing a material that will show warning before it fails. By choosing aluminum he can detect certain failures a long time before it actually happens since aluminum shows signs of wear and tear and doesn't just break immediately.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
