Use conversion of energy. mgh+.5mv^2 initial = final. at the top there's no kinetic energy, at the bottom theres no potential. so mgh at the top=.5mv^2 at the bottom.
mgh at the top = 40 (9.8)(12)
not sure what you mean by 10 miles, do you mean 10 mph or 10 meters/second. if it isnt in SI units, do the proper conversions and put it in m/s
.5mv^2=.5 (40)(final velocity)

What usually happens to the host’s DNA during the lytic cycle?
VARVARA [1.3K]
The lytic cycle is one of the two phases of reproduction in viruses. In this part of reproduction, the viral RNA joins with the DNA of the host and copies itself into the host's DNA pattern. This will cause the host cells to reproduce the viral cells instead of the original host cells. Overtime as the viral cells continue to reproduce they will overload and eventually cause the host cell to explode. When this occurs, then the produced viruses will continue on to infect the next cell.

A world class sprinter is travelling with speed 12.0 m/s at the end of a 100 meter race. Suppose he decelerates at the rate of 2
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

after 6 second it will stop

he travel 36 m to stop

Explanation:

given data

speed = 12 m/s

distance = 100 m

decelerates rate = 2.00 m/s²

so acceleration a = - 2.00 m/s²

to find out

how long does it take to stop and how far does he travel

solution

we will apply here first equation of motion that is

v = u + at   ......1

here u is speed 12 and v is 0 because we stop finally

put here all value in equation 1

0 = 12 + (-2) t

t = 6 s

so after 6 second it will stop

and

for distance we apply equation of motion

v²-u² = 2×a×s  ..........2

here v is 0 u is 12 and a is -2 and find distance s

put all value in equation 2

0-12² = 2×(-2)×s

s = 36 m

so  he travel 36 m to stop

A material through which charges cannot move easily?
Naily [24]

Answer: A material that does not easily allow a charge to pass through it is called an Plastic and rubber are good insulators. Many types of electric wire are covered with plastic, which insulates well. The plastic allows a charge to be conducted from one end of the wire to the other, but not through the sides of the wire.
