Answer:
C. -12 ab
Explanation:
The restoring force on a spring is given by Hooke's law:
where
k is the spring constant
x is the stretched (or compressed) displacement of the spring
In this problem we have:
k = 4a
x = 3b
Substituting into the equation, we find:
And the negative sign means that the direction of the force (negative) is opposite to the direction of the displacement (positive).
You need to know the speed and direction of object
The weight of the meterstick is:
and this weight is applied at the center of mass of the meterstick, so at x=0.50 m, therefore at a distance
from the pivot.
The torque generated by the weight of the meterstick around the pivot is:
To keep the system in equilibrium, the mass of 0.50 kg must generate an equal torque with opposite direction of rotation, so it must be located at a distance d2 somewhere between x=0 and x=0.40 m. The magnitude of the torque should be the same, 0.20 Nm, and so we have:
from which we find the value of d2:
So, the mass should be put at x=-0.04 m from the pivot, therefore at the x=36 cm mark.
Answer:
- increasing use of hybrid crops
- altering genes in DNA to create new plants
- developing disease or pest resistant crops
Explanation:
The use of genetic factors to influence the growth of a plant encompasses manipulating the genetic constituent (gene) of such plant.
For example,
- Increasing use of hybrid crops entails mating two pure bred plants based on a gene of interest responsible for a particular trait, to form a hybrid.
- Altering genes in DNA to create new plants is also a genetic factor as it has to with gene modification.
- developing disease or pest resistant crops means that the genetic make up of such plant has been modified to be resistant to pest/disease.
