5 0

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder defined as chronic and severely debilitating as the patients usually are "lost in touch with reality."

Schizophrenia has both positive symptoms (added) and negative symptoms (lack of). Positive symptoms include hallucinations (adding unreal imagery) and uncontrollable thoughts. Negative symptoms include apathy (lack of concern or enthusiasm), alogia (lack of speech), and blunted affect (lack of facial expression). Both positive and negative symptoms affect the intellectual functioning of an individual with schizophrenia.

A force of 2.20 N is exerted on a 7,20 g rifle bullet. What is the bullet's acceleration? (Enter your answer in m/s^ 2 )

sweet [91]

Answer:

The answer is 306 m/s^2

Explanation:

F = m*a

We can rearrange this formula to get a = F / m.

The SI unit for mass is kilograms (kg).

The SI unit for acceleration is m/s^2.

There are 1000 grams in a kilogram.

7.20 g = 0.00720 kg

Force (2.20 N) / 0.00720 kg = 305.56 m/s^2

Accounting for Sig Figs, the answer is 306 m/s^2.

Gee, that's one fast bullet.

In a population of 150 toads, poisonous (P) is dominant over non-poisonous (p). According to the Hardy-Weinberg equation, the ex

aalyn [17]

Answer: Χ²=8.18

Explanation: In this population, the frequency of homozygote poisonous toads is:

$p^{2} =\frac{100}{150}$

$p^{2} = 0.667$

$p = \sqrt{0.667}$

p=0.82

For the homozygote non-poisonous toads:

$q^{2} = \frac{5}{150}$

$q^{2} =0.034$

$q = \sqrt{0.034}$

q = 0.18

The frequency for heterozygote poisonous toad, we can use the Hardy-Weinberg equation: $p^{2} + 2pq + q^{2} = 1$ , in which, heterozygote frequency is given by 2pq
