Kinetic energyis the energy of body or a system with respect to the motion of the body or of the particles in the system. Potential energy is the stored energy in an object of system because of its position or configuration.

Which is the result of mitosis and cytokinesis?

Leno4ka [110]

During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of the cell is divided in half, and the cell membrane grows to enclose each cell, forming two separate cells as a result. The end result of mitosis and cytokinesis is two genetically identical cells where only one cell existed before.

Consider two children sitting on a merry-go-round, with one closer to the outer edge and one closer to the center. show answer N

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

They both have the same angular speed.

Explanation:

The mathematical formula for angular speed is:

$w=\frac{2\pi}{T}$

where $w$ is angular speed, $2\pi$ is a constant, and $T$ is the period (the time it takes the marry-go-round to complete a lap).

What we can see from the formula is that, since the $2\pi$ does not change its value, the angular speed depends only on the period T.

In this case for both the children closer to the outher edge and for the children closer to the center, the time to complete a lap is the same, because the time does not depend on where they are sitting in the marry go round. This means that the period for both is the same.

Thus, since the period for both is the same, the angular speed given by

$w=\frac{2\pi}{T}$ will also be the same

A 50 kg skydiver is falling downwards and accelerating 6 m/s2 down. What is the net force on the skydiver?

Montano1993 [528]

Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration) (Newton #2)

Net Force = (50 kg) x (6 m/s² down)

Net Force = (50 * 6) (kg-m/s² down)

Net Force = 300 Newtons down
