Answer 2

A pesticide kills insects by disabling the ribosomes in their cells. The function that would be most immediately in the insects' cells is protein synthesis. The correct option is A.

What are pesticides?

Pesticides are the chemicals that are used to kill insects and other microbes that infect the crops and other things. Pesticides are very harmful for health of other animals and humans. They also cause disabilities in birds which eat the insects killed by pesticides.

Protein synthesis is a process of synthesizing protein in the cell. This process done by cell organelles and DNA and RNA. Pesticides degenerate the process of protein synthesis in insects, they eventually die due to no working of cell.

Thus, the correct option is A Protein synthesis.

If a system is maintained at a pressure of 2 psi of vacuum, what is the pressure in psia (lbs per square inch absolute)

Answers

Answer:

The absolute pressure of the system is 12.7 psia.

Explanation:

Let suppose that system works at an atmospheric pressure of 14.7 psia, the absolute pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure minus vaccum pressure, that is:

[tex]p_{abs} = p_{atm} - p_{vac}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]p_{abs}[/tex] - Absolute pressure, measured in pounds per square inch.

[tex]p_{atm}[/tex] - Atmospheric pressure, measured in pounds per square inch.

[tex]p_{vac}[/tex] - Vacuum pressure, measured in pounds per square inch.

Given that [tex]p_{atm} = 14.7\,psia[/tex] and [tex]p_{vac} = 2\,psia[/tex], the absolute pressure of the system is:

[tex]p_{abs} = 14.7\,psia-2\,psia[/tex]

[tex]p_{abs} = 12.7\,psia[/tex]

The absolute pressure of the system is 12.7 psia.

A student observes that for the same net force heavier objects accelerate less which statement describes the correct conclusion?

There is a negative correlation between mass and acceleration.

An increase in acceleration causes the mass to increase.

A decrease in acceleration causes the mass to increase.

There is a positive correlation between mass and acceleration

Answers

Answer: A decrease in acceleration causes the mass to increase.

Explanation:

Let's rewrite this as:

"For a constant force F, we can see that heavier objects accelerate less"

Then, as the mass increases, the acceleration of the object decreases.

This is known as an inverse relationship between acceleration and mass.

By second Newton's law we have that:

F = m*a

Force equals mass times acceleration.

So if the force is constant, we can write it as:

a = F/m.

In this equation, we can see that, if the acceleration decreases and F remains constant, then the mass m must increase (because it is in the denominator)

Then the correct option is:

A decrease in acceleration causes the mass to increase.

Answer:

There is a negative correlation between mass and acceleration.

A glass plate 2.25 mm thick, with an index of refraction of 1.80, is placed between a point source of light with wavelength 620 nm (in vacuum) and a screen. The distance from source to screen is 1.50 cm. How many wavelengths are there between the source and the screen?

Answers

Answer:

There are 2.71x10⁴ wavelengths between the source and the screen.

Explanation:

The number of wavelengths (N) can be calculated as follows:

[tex] N = \frac{d_{g}}{\lambda_{g}} + \frac{d_{a}}{\lambda_{a}} [/tex]    

Where:

[tex]d_{g}[/tex]: is the distance in glass = 2.25 mm

[tex]d_{a}[/tex]: is the distance in air = 1.50 cm - 0.225 cm = 1.275 cm

[tex]\lambda_{g}[/tex]: is the wavelength in glass

[tex]\lambda_{a}[/tex]: is the wavelength in air = 620 nm

To find the wavelength in glass we need to use the following equation:

[tex] n_{g}*\lambda_{g} = n_{a}*\lambda_{a} [/tex]

Where:

[tex]n_{g}[/tex]: is the refraction index of glass = 1.80

[tex]n_{a}[/tex]: is the refraction index of air = 1

[tex] \lambda_{g} = \frac{\lambda_{a}}{n_{g}} = \frac{620 nm}{1.80} = 344.4 nm [/tex]

Hence, the number of wavelengths is:

[tex] N = \frac{d_{g}}{\lambda_{g}} + \frac{d_{a}}{\lambda_{a}} [/tex]

[tex] N = \frac{2.25 \cdot 10^{-3} m}{344.4 \cdot 10^{-9} m} + \frac{1.275 \cdot 10^{-2} m}{620 \cdot 10^{-9} m} [/tex]                                    

[tex] N = 2.71 \cdot 10^{4} [/tex]

Therefore, there are 2.71x10⁴ wavelengths between the source and the screen.

A space ship to the moon covered the 216,000 km in 72 hours. What was it’s average velocity

Answers

Answer:3000km/h

Explanation:

speed=distance/time

216,000km/72hrs

=3000km/h

Well, first of all, if there are astronauts aboard that ship, I hope they don't try to climb out yet.  If they pointed straight at the moon and covered 216,000 km so far, they still have another 168,000 km to go before they get there.

Average Speed = (distance) / (time)

Speed = (216,000 km) / (72 hours)

Average Speed = 3,000 km/hr

also

Speed = (216,000 km) x (1000m/km) / (72 hr x 3600sec/hr)

Average Speed = 833.33 m/s

There's not enough information given to find the ship's velocity.

What is the difference between centripetal force and centrifugal force???

Answers

Answer:

While centripetal force focuses towards the centre of a rotating path, the centrifugal force is just opposite to this, meaning it exerts a force to liberate a body from ...

Centripetal force is an inward force and centrifugal force is an outward force.

Centrifugal force is often referred to as inertial force or fictitious force.

More items...

Explanation:

Centripetal” is a word (apparently coined by Isaac Newton) meaning “center-pointing.”

“Centrifugal” means (roughly) “center-fleeing,” or pointing AWAY from the center (so, radially).

So the words simply refer to directions, and the “center” implies that the forces act in reference to motion in a circular path. Such motion is very common: in the case of a rotating rigid body (i.e., solid object), the motion can be described as a combination of (1) a movement through space of the center-of-mass plus (2) circular motion of all the particles in the body about an axis passing through the center of mass.

The net force on ANY mass moving in a circle at constant speed is a centripetal force. If the mass’s speed is changing along the circular path, there must be a tangential force in addition to the centripetal.

An example of a centrifugal force would be the force ON THE STRING when a stone tied to the string is whirled in a circle. The force on the stone is a centripetal force, and the third-law reaction force exerted on the string is a centrifugal force.

why is it wrong to say a single object all alone is moving

Answers

Answer:

It is wrong to say that "a single object all alone is moving" simply because it goes against Newton's law of inertia.

Explanation:

From Newton's law of inertia, it states that: An object at rest or in constant motion will continue in it's present state unless it is acted upon by an external force.

Which means that a single object by itself cannot move anywhere unless it is acted upon by an external force..

Thus, it is wrong to say that "a single object all alone is moving" simply because it goes against Newton's law of inertia.

Which situation shows potential energy transforming into kinetic energy 1.A car stopped at a stoplight 2.A flowerpot falling from a balcony 3.A cow standing in a field 4.A bicycle slowing down

Answers

Answer:

2.A flowerpot falling from a balcony

Explanation:

Potential energy is the internal energy within a body at rest or at a height above the ground. In this case of the falling flowerpot, the flowerpot initially has a potential energy due to its position on the balcony above the surface of the earth. As the flowerpot falls, the work done against gravity in taking the flowerpot to this height on the balcony (equivalent to the potential energy) is transformed into the kinetic energy of motion as the flowerpot falls down through the height.

Answers

Complete question is;

Li and Raj are playing football. They take turns trying to run past each other with the football. Li weighs 125 pound and Raj weighs 175 pounds. Li discovers that if he changes direction quickly when running, he can always dodge out of the way before Raj can tackle him.

Why is Li able to avoid Raj’s tackle? Choose the best description.

A) Raj has more mass and therefore more inertia, so he can change his motion more easily than Li.

B) Raj has more mass and therefore less inertia, so he can change his motion more easily than Li.

C) Li has less mass and therefore more inertia, so he can change his motion more easily than Raj.

D) Li has less mass and therefore less inertia, so he can change his motion more easily than Raj.

Answer:

Option D - Li has less mass and therefore less inertia, so he can change his motion more easily than Raj.

Explanation:

From Newton's first law of motion which is known as law of inertia, an object will remain at rest or continue in constant motion unless an external force acts upon it. This means that Inertia is simply the resistance of an object to any change in its state of rest or motion.

This means that the larger the mass of the object, the more resistance the object will have from an external force. Similarly, the smaller the object, the less resistance it will have from an external force.

Therefore, we can see that larger mass means larger resistance and in turn larger inertia while smaller mass denotes smaller resistance and in turn smaller inertia.

Now, from the question,Li weighs 125 pound and Raj weighs 175 pounds. So, Li has lesser mass than Raj, and so he also has less inertia. Thus, he can change his motion more easily than Raj due to that.

Answer:

Li has less mass and therefore less inertia, so he can change his motion more easily than Raj.

Does a free falling object fall 2 meters in twice the time as it falls 1 meter?
a. Yes, it takes twice as long to fall twice as far. b. Yes, it takes longer to fall farther.
c. No, since it is speeding up as it falls it will cover the same distance in a shorter time.
d. No, it takes the same time since it does not accelerate.

Answers

A free-falling object has a consrant force acting on it . . .  the force of gravity, or what technical experts refer to as its "weight".

Since the object has a constant force acting on it, it must constantly accelerate according to Newton's 2nd law of motion. The way this acceleration reveals itself, the object's speed is constantly increasing.

Since the object is speeding up as it falls, there are a few weird things that happen:

 --  It will fall 2 meters in less than double the time for 1 meter.

 --  It will fall 3 meters in less than triple the time for 1 meter.

 --  It will fall 4 meters in less than quadruple the time for 1 meter, and less than double the time for 2 meters.

 --  It will fall 1 meter near the bottom in less time than 1 meter near the top.

Answers

Answer:

Acceleration,  [tex]767.08\ m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Height from a ball falls the ground, h = 17.3 m

It is in contact with the ground for 24.0 ms before stopping.

We need to find the average acceleration the ball during the time it is in contact with the ground.

Firstly, find the velocity when it reached the ground. So,

[tex]v^2=u^2+2ah[/tex]

u = initial velocity=0 m/s

a = acceleration=g

[tex]v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 17.3} \\\\v=18.41\ m/s[/tex]

It is in negative direction, u = -18.41 m/s

Let a is average acceleration of the ball. Consider, v = and u = -18.41 m/s.

[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{0-18.41}{24\times 10^{-3}}\\\\a=767.08\ m/s^2[/tex]

So, the average acceleration of the ball during the time it is in contact is [tex]767.08\ m/s^2[/tex].
