The key concept for this question is Newton's 3rd Law: for each force, there must be an opposing force with the same magnitude.

Since X and Y are connected together by the spring, when the spring is pulling X to give it acceleration, X is also pulling the spring (the opposing force). And this opposing force is transferred onto Y.

Thus, Y is experiencing a force with equal magnitude to the force on X.
And according to Newton's 2nd Law, since Y's mass is half of X, it should have an acceleration 2 times of X.
Yea, that's exactly how the explanation goes....Thanx

Assalam-o-Allaikum and Hi everyone ,
hope u all are doin great !

Well as the topic says help for chemistry :D biology :D and Physics :D is available here that means that u can ask any mind blowing question or ask any question regarding a particular topic or ask abt any questions from Past paper or any of your text books. (y) (y)

I made this topic so that people dont make many posts asking abt bio,physics or chemistry individually but they can post their reply here where it can be answered with ease and the members wont have to go searching for topics to help! :D !

So what are u waiting for now write ur questions here !
THANKS and Bye or Allah Hafiz ! (y);)

I want the soft copy of biology, chemistry and physics topical past papers of o levels

Ionic substances have high Melting & boiling points and conduct electricity while Covalent substances have low melting & boiling points and do not conduct Electricity. Ionic bonds are formed between Metal and Non-metal while covalent bonds are formed between Non-metals and Non-metals

*Ionic substances conduct electricity in molten or aqueous form...u need to mention this...while covalent substances don't conduct electricity in any state.

Could someone please provide me with an explanation of how bacteria is used to produce cheese and yogurt?

Would anyone happen to have a precise explanation to the production of cheese and yogurt using bacteria?
YOGHURT:
*Warm milk and add the culture of bacteria.
*Bacteria respires anaerobically and converts milk lactose to lactic acid.
*Lactic acid causes milk protein(casein) to curdle, producing yoghurt.

CHEESE:
*Milk is fermented to lactic acid by bacteria.
*This causes the milk protein to curdle.
*Curdled milk + fats in the milk are removed and acted upon by a mixture of both bacteria and fungi to produce cheese.
*Different types of cheese can be prepared by varying the conditions.

you have to find the variables which make the equation eqqual to x3+10x-80

If we write 4-x in the place of y you would find that it results in x3+10x-80 showing that y=4-x is the equation

hey,

can somebody solve this question for physics on 0625/63/o/n/16

the questions starts with something like that --> Plan an experiment which will enable you to compare the strengths of different samples of thin paper

its the last question.

please solve it in a brief and detailed way...
and plz use the mark scheme
:):):)

"The best removal of stains is maintained by providing the optimum temperature for enzymes, presoaking to leave time for the enzymes to digest, putting the suitable amount of the powder", can someone briefly explain the presoaking and powder part?

Also, why is water needed for activating enzymes in germination of seeds?

Detergent powders contain enzymes which digest the protein in food/blood stains. Increasing the enzyme concentration would speed up the process of protein digestion.

Pre-soaking is required because enzymes need aqueous mediums to function (hydrolytic breakdown).

In germination, you need water for the same reason. Enzymes allow break down to happen through hydrolysis, which quite obviously requires water.

For germination to occur, you need water to break down the stored food inside the cotyledon - enzymatic activity (hydrolysis) and also for the permeability of the seed coat for oxygen uptake.
