Answer:
0.6 m
Explanation:
When a spring is compressed it stores potential energy. This energy is:
Ep = 1/2 * k * x^2
Being x the distance it compressed/stretched.
When the spring bounces the ice cube back it will transfer that energy to the cube, it will raise up the slope, reaching a high point where it will have a speed of zero and a potential energy equal to what the spring gave it.
The potential energy of the ice cube is:
Ep = m * g * h
This is vertical height and is related to the distance up the slope by:
sin(a) = h/d
h = sin(a) * d
Replacing:
Ep = m * g * sin(a) * d
Equating both potential energies:
1/2 * k * x^2 = m * g * sin(a) * d
d = (1/2 * k * x^2) / (m * g * sin(a))
d= (1/2 * 25 * 0.1^2) / (0.05 * 9.81 * sin(25)) = 0.6 m
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.
Answer:
Skateboard
Explanation:
Acceleration is change in velocity over time.
a = Δv / Δt
The airplane's acceleration is:
a = (1005 km/h − 1000 km/h) / 10 s
a = 0.5 km/h/s
The skateboard's acceleration is:
a = (5 km/h − 0 km/h) / 1 s
a = 5 km/h/s
