What is DNA and how do DNA tests work?

1 answer:

4 0

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms.DNA testing relies on comparing fragments of DNA (called “genetic loci” or simply “loci”) between an alleged parent and a child. A child receives one half of his DNA from the mother and the other one from the father moreover, the process is more or less random.

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their breeding grounds. Starting downstream, 2.33 m away from a waterfall 0.488 m in heigh

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

5.68 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the salmon is the same as a projectile: it is launched with an initial speed $u$ at an angle of $\theta=38^{\circ}$ above the horizontal.

The motion of the salmon consists of two indipendent motion:

- Along the horizontal direction, it is a uniform motion with constant velocity

$v_x = u cos \theta$

So that the distance travelled is

$d=v_x t = u cos \theta t$ (1)

- Along the vertical direction, it is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration downward, so the vertical displacement is

$y = u sin \theta t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$ (2)

where g is the acceleration of gravity.

We know the following:

- The horizontal distance travelled by the salmon to reach the waterfall is

d = 2.33 m

- The vertical distance travelled is the height of the waterfall,

y = 0.488 m

From (1) we get:

$t=\frac{d}{u cos \theta}$

And substituting into (2), we can solve the equation to find t, the time at which the salmon reaches the waterfall:

$y = u sin \theta \frac{d}{u cos \theta} - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 = d tan \theta - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2(d tan \theta - y)}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2.33 tan 38^{\circ}-0.488)}{9.81}}=0.521 s$

And then, we can use eq.(1) again to find the initial speed, u:

$u=\frac{d}{cos \theta t}=\frac{2.33}{cos(38^{\circ})(0.521)}=5.68 m/s$
