<span>Germanium To determine which melts first, convert their melting temperatures so they're both expressed on same scale. It doesn't matter what scale you use, Kelvin, Celsius, of Fahrenheit. Just as long as it's the same scale for everything. Since we already have one substance expressed in Kelvin and since it's easy to convert from Celsius to Kelvin, I'll use Kelvin. So convert the melting point from Celsius to Kelvin for Gold by adding 273.15 1064 + 273.15 = 1337.15 K So Germanium melts at 1210K and Gold melts at 1337.15K. Germanium has the lower melting point, so it melts first.</span>

How much power does an Ox pulling a plow 20 m cross a field, exerting 120J of work over a period of 15 s?​
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

8W

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance covered  = 20m

Work done  = 120J

Time  = 15s

Unknown:

How much power does the Ox exerts  = ?

Solution:

Power is the rate at which work is being done

  Power  = \frac{Work done }{time}  

 Power exerted by ox  = \frac{120}{15}   = 8W

Liquid flows through a 4.0 cm diameter pipe at 1.0 m/s. there is a 2.0 cm diameter restriction on the line. what is the velocity
Vanyuwa [196]
To determine the velocity in the restriction, we need to remember the law of conservation of mass where mass in should be equal to the mass out since mass cannot be created or destroyed. For this system, mass flow rate in is equal to mass flow rate out. We do as follows:

Mass flow rate in = Mass flow rate out
density (volumetric flow rate in) = density (volumetric flow rate out)

Since the liquid in and out are the same, then density would be cancelled.
(volumetric flow rate in) = (volumetric flow rate out)
Area in x velocity in = Area out x velocity out
velocity out = area in x velocity in / area out
velocity out = π (4/2)^2 (1.0) / π (2/2)^2
velocity out = 4 m/s

Which type of molecule is added to this genetic sequece might create a insertion mutation? A-G-A-T-G-C-A-G-A-G-T-T-A-C-G-G
Jet001 [13]

D. Adding another base pair will re-arrange your DNA sequences and cause an insertion mutation. This will make your codons group of differently, and possibly give you a BAD mutation. However, sometimes the codons still make the same proteins as its supposed to, the mutation will NOT affect you.


Example:


THE BIG FAT CAT ATE THE RAT


Now, if i were to add a letter (X) to this and make the letters group up in three aka the codons:


THE XBI GFA TCA TAT ETH ERA T


As you can you can see, adding a base pair in a DNA insertion will usually have a negative effect, specifically a insertion mutation.

A mass of 5kg starts from rest and pulls down vertically on a string wound around a disk-shaped, massive pulley. The mass of the
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

1.98 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this, we would be using the law of conservation of energy, i.e total initial energy is equal to total final energy.

E(i) = E(f)

mgh = ½Iw² + ½mv²

Recall, v = wr, thus, w = v/r

Also, I = ½mr²

I = 0.5 * 5 * 2²

I = 10 kgm²

Remember,

mgh = ½Iw² + ½mv²

Substituting w for v/r, we have

mgh = ½I(v/r)² + ½mv²

Now, putting the values in the equation, we have

5 * 9.8 * 0.3 = ½ * 10 * (v/2)² + ½ * 5 * v²

14.7 = 1.25 v² + 2.5 v²

14.7 = 3.75 v²

v² = 14.7/3.75

v² = 3.92

v = √3.92

v = 1.98 m/s

Thus, the speed is 1.98 m/s

One charge is decreased to one-third of its original value, and a second charge is decreased to one-half of its original value.
Nadya [2.5K]
The original Coulomb force between the charges is:

Fc=(k*Q₁*Q₂)/r², where k is the Coulomb constant and k=9*10⁹ N m² C⁻², Q₁ is the first charge, Q₂ is the second charge and r is the distance between the charges.

The magnitude of the force is independent of the sign of the charge so I can simply say they are both positive. 

Q₁ is decreased to Q₁₁=(1/3)*Q₁=Q₁/3 and
Q₂ is decreased to Q₂₂=(1/2)*Q₂=Q₂/2. 

New force:

Fc₁=(k*Q₁₁*Q₂₂)r², now we input the decreased values of the charge

Fc₁=(k*{Q₁/3}*{Q₂/2})/r², that is equal to:

Fc₁=(k*(1/3)*(1/2)*Q₁*Q₂)/r²,

Fc₁=(k*(1/6)*Q₁*Q₂)/r²

Fc₁=(1/6)*(k*Q₁*Q₂)/r², and since the original force is: Fc=(k*Q₁*Q₂)/r² we get:

Fc₁=(1/6)*Fc

So the magnitude of the new force Fc₁ with decreased charges is 6 times smaller than the original force Fc.
