Explain what it means when scientists say that the offspring of sexual reproduction are genetically diverse.

1 answer:

7 0

Answer: During sexual reproduction, the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically-diverse offspring that differ from their parents. The genetic diversity of sexually-produced offspring is thought to give species a better chance of surviving in an unpredictable or changing environment

Two cars travel in the same direction along a straight highway, one at a constant speed of 55 mi/h and the other at 60 mi/h.How

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

The distance traveled by the faster car when it is 15 mins ahead of the slower car is 165 miles.

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the faster car, v₁ = 60 mi/h

speed of the slower car, v₂ = 55 mi/h

Let the distance traveled by the faster car when it is 15 mins ahead of the slower car = x miles

$\frac{x}{55} - \frac{x}{60} = \frac{15}{60}$

Note: divide 15 mins by 60 to convert to hours for consistency in the units.

$\frac{x}{55} - \frac{x}{60} = \frac{15}{60}\\\\multiple \ through \ by \ 660\\\\12x - 11x = 165\\\\x = 165 \ miles$

Therefore, the distance traveled by the faster car when it is 15 mins ahead of the slower car is 165 miles.

When the plutonium bomb was tested in New Mexico in 1945, approximately 1 gram of matter was converted into energy. Suppose anot

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The value is $E = 1.35 *10^{14} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of matter converted to energy on first test is $m = 1 \ g = 0.001 \ kg$

The mass of matter converted to energy on second test $m_1 = 1.5 \ g = 1.5 *10^{-3} \ kg$

Generally the amount of energy that was released by the explosion is mathematically represented as

$E = m * c^2$

=> $E = 1.5 *10^{-3} * [ 3.0 *10^{8}]^2$

=> $E = 1.35 *10^{14} \ J$

A charge of 4.5 × 10-5 C is placed in an electric field with a strength of 2.0 × 104 . If the charge is 0.030 m from the source

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

0.027 J

Explanation:

The formula of the potential energy in electrostatic (U) is

$U = q \times E \times d$

The values given in the question are

Charge : q = $4.5 \times 10^{-5} C$

Electric Field strength : E = $2.0 \times 10^{4} N/C$

Distance : d is 0.030 m

Insert in the formula , will give us

$U = 4.5 \times 10^{-5} C \times 2.0 \times 10^{4} N/C \times 0.030 m$

Further solving it

$U = 0.027 J$

Which is the required answer.

Thanks

Tory has a mass of 40kg. She sleds down a hill that has a slope of 25 degrees. what is the component of her weight that is along

Fudgin [204]

1.7 x 10^2 N

or 166 N

First you find the vertical component of the weight, which is 9.8*40, (g*m), which is 392 N. You then find the angle between that and the slope, which is 90-25, which is 65. You then multiply the vertical weight by cos(65), to find the component of that that is parallel to the slope. You get 165.666 N
