Two boys are sliding toward each other on a frictionless, ice-covered parking lot. Jacob, mass 45 kg, is gliding to the right at

8.08 m/s, and Ethan, mass 31.0 kg, is gliding to the left at 10.9 m/s along the same line. When they meet, they grab each other and hang on.(a) What is their velocity immediately thereafter?

Answer:

v=0.3381\ m.s^{-1} in the direction of motion of Jacob

Explanation:

Given:

mass  of Jacob, m_j=45\ kg

velocity of Jacob, v_j=8.08\ m.s^{-1}

mass of Ethan, m_e=31\ kg

velocity of Ethan, v_e=10.9\ m.s^{-1}

Now using the conservation of linear momentum for the case:

(When the two masses in motion combine to form one after the collision then they will move together in the direction of the greater momentum.)

(m_j+m_e).v=m_j.v_j-m_e.v_e

(45+31)\times v=45\times 8.08-31\times 10.9

v=0.3381\ m.s^{-1} in the direction of motion of Jacob as it was assumed to be positive.

How do dominant alleles and recessive alleles differ?
Stells [14]

Answer:

A dominant allele produces a dominant trait in individuals who have one copy of the allele, that can come from one parent. To produces a recessive trait, the child must have two copies of the recessive allele, one from each parent.

Explanation:

The terms dominant and recessive describe the patterns of certain traits. They describe how likely it is for certain traits to pass from parent offspring in humans and animals. The two copies of each gene (alleles), can be slightly different from each other. The differences can cause variations in the protein that’s produced, Proteins affect traits, so variations in protein activity or expression can create different phenotypes.

A dominant allele produces a dominant phenotype (trait) in individuals who have one copy of the allele, which can come from one parent. For a recessive allele to produce a recessive phenotype, the individual must have two copies, one from each parent. A person with one dominant and one recessive allele for a gene will have a dominant phenotype. They are generally considered carriers of the recessive allele- the recessive allele is there, but the recessive phenotype is not.

Scientists usually write reports about their investigations. Why do they do this?
worty [1.4K]
As for me, the reson why scientists usually write reports about their investigations is because they want to <span>d. to communicate their work to other scientist. As far as I am concerned in this sphere they have to get many other opnions besides their own in order to complete or expand one that they have made up. Hope it helps :)</span>
