Peppered moths are dark because?

1 answer:

6 0

Scientists bred the moths and figured out that the light-colored form of the peppered moth has different genes from the dark form. The black color of the dark form was due to a mutation in the DNA of the light-colored form.

A space rocket accelerates uniformly from rest to 160ms^-1 upwards in 4.0s, then travels with a constant speed of 160ms^-1 for t

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

40 ms¯².

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we shall illustrate the question with a diagram.

The attached photo gives a better understanding of the question.

From the attached photo:

Velocity (v) = 160 ms¯¹

Time (t) = 4 secs.

Acceleration (a) =?

Acceleration (a) = Velocity (v) /time (t)

a = v/t

a = 160/4

a = 40 ms¯²

Therefore, the initial acceleration of the rocket is 40 ms¯².

Diagnostic ultrasound of frequency 4.50 MHz is used to examine tumors in soft tissue. (a) What is the wavelength in air of such

mafiozo [28]

(a) $7.62 \times 10^{-5} m$ is the wavelength in air of such a sound wave.

(b) $3.33 \times 10^{-4}\ m$ is the wavelength of this wave in tissue.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Frequency and wavelength can be related by the equation,

Velocity = Wavelength x Frequency

$v=\lambda \times f$

where,

v - velocity of light for all EM (electromagnetic) waves in vacuum

Given:

f - 4.50 MHz = $4.50 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{Hz}$

a) To find the wavelength in air

We know,

Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

Apply given frequency and speed of sound in air, we get

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{343}{4.5 \times 10^{6}}=76.2 \times 10^{-6}=7.62 \times 10^{-5}\ \mathrm{m}$

b) If the speed of sound in tissue is 1500 m/s, find the wavelength of this wave in tissue

Speed of sound in tissue, v = 1500 m/s

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{1500}{4.5 \times 10^{6}}=333.33 \times 10^{-6}=3.33 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{m}$
