A quick, easy way to decide whether there was a chemical change

is to look and see whether there are NEW substances after the

event, that weren't there when it started.


This particular scenario started out with fat and sodium hydroxide (lye).

And then, suddenly, POOF ! Soap and glycerin showed up. Where did

THOSE come from ? They came from the molecules in fat and lye,

getting broken up and recombined to make different substances.

THAT's exactly a chemical change.

Answer:

This is a chemical change because new substances are formed with different properties and identities.

When solar radiation reaches the Earth it quickly dissipates as most of the radiation and UV rays are blocked by ozone layer, but more radiation and UV rays are able to get through because of global warming.

In the gene TATTCATTGTTA—TGATTT—ATTCG, CATTGTTA encodes for pepsin, a digestive enzyme. The rest of the sequence doesn’t code fo
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

TATTCATTCATTA—TGATTT—ATTCG

Explanation:

A mutation is a permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA. A mutation occurs during replication or recombination. It may be due to base substitutions, deletions and insertions. As per the question, DNA segment forms encodes for the enzyme pepsin is CATTGTTA.

Option TATTCATTCATTA—TGATTT—ATTCG is the correct answer. In the DNA segment which encodes pepsin, a purine base (G) guanine is replaced by another purine (A) adenine. This type of mutation is called a transition type point mutation.

Due to base substitution, the mutated segment CATTCATTA will nor encode pepsin.

The distance that a spring will stretch varies directly as the force applied to the spring. A force of 8080 pounds is needed to
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

F₂= 210 pounds

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

Hooke's law

Hooke's law establishes that the elongation (x) of a spring is directly proportional to the magnitude of force (F) applied to it, provided that said spring is not permanently deformed:

F= K*x   Formula (1)

Where;

F  is the magnitude of the force applied to the spring in Newtons (Pounds)

K is the elastic spring constant, which relates force and elongation. The higher its value, the more work it will cost to stretch the spring. (Pounds/inch)

x the elongation of the spring (inch)

Data

The data given is incorrect because if we apply them the answer would be illogical.

The correct data are as follows:

F₁ =80 pounds

x₁= 8 inches

x₂= 21  inches

Problem development

We replace data in formula 1 to calculate  K :

F₁= K*x₁

K=( F₁) / (x₁)

K=( 80) / (8) = 10 pounds/ inche

We apply The formula 1 to calculate  F₂

F₂= K*x₂

F₂= (10)*(21)

F₂= 210 pounds
