AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a Year 8 science homework assignment concerning Peter the postman and his bike ride uphill. Key points include identifying Peter's characteristics as an organism, which involve his ability to respond to changes and perform essential life functions. The body systems working together during the ride are the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems, highlighting the importance of the nervous system for movement. Measurements suggested for Peter's riding include his position, speed, and the work done while biking uphill. The participant expresses gratitude for the assistance received and plans to engage more with the forum for further learning.

I have a Science Test Tomorrow and i need help with these questions. Help will be appreciated.
1. Peter the postman rides his bike uphill.
a. Peter is an organism. List the features that make Peter an organism.
b. When Peter rides his bike up the hill which body systems are working together.
c. What measurements can be done on Peter and his riding?



The attempt at a solution
a. Peter can detect changes, change position or place, get rid of wastes, grow, get food, produce young and respire.
b. skeleton and muscular.

Your answer for A looks good.

For B, i would say skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems, since without the nervous system the body wouldn't receive the signals it needed to move in the first place.

For C, i would say that you can measure the position and speed of Peter and his bike as he rides. And possibly the amount of Work that peter is doing to ride his bike uphill.

Thank you for your great answer. This helped me study for my test. I hope i do well. XD

I have decided to stick around in this forum more since it has more smarter and members with higher knowledge in science.
 
Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'
TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
