The answer is; C

A calorie is  a unit of energy used to describe the energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree at an ambient pressure of 1 atmosphere. This SI unit has gained popularity in its use in nutrition where the energy in a particular type of food (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) is measured in calories.

An airplane undergoes the following displacements: First, it flies 40 km in a direction 30° east of north. Next, it flies 56 km
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Distance from start point is 72.5km

Explanation:

The attached Figure shows the plane trajectories from start point (0,0) to (x1,y1) (d1=40km), then going from (x1,y1) to (x2,y2) (d2=56km), then from (x2,y2) to (x3,y3) (d3=100). Taking into account the angles and triangles formed (shown in the Figure), it can be said:

x1=d1*cos(60), y1=d1*sin(60)\\\\ x2=x1 , y2=y1-d2\\\\ x3=x2-d3*cos(30) , y3=y2+d3*sin(30)

Using the Pitagoras theorem, the distance from (x3,y3) to the start point can be calculated as:

d=\sqrt{x3^{2} +y3^{2} }

Replacing the given values in the equations, the distance is calculated.

A krypton laser produces a cylindrical red laser beam 2.40 mm in diameter with 1.70 W of power. What is the light intensity 1.76
marta [7]

Answer:

I=3.75\times 10^5 W/m^2

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter of laser beam d= 2.4 mm

Radius of laser beam r= 1.2 mm

Power P =1.7 W

We know that intensity(I) of laser beam given as follows

I=\dfrac{P}{\pi r^2}

Now by putting the values

I=\dfrac{P}{\pi r^2}

I=\dfrac{1.7}{\pi \times 0.0012^2}

So

I=3.75\times 10^5 W/m^2

So the intensity at 1.76 m away from laser

I=3.75\times 10^5 W/m^2

Un auto alcanza una velocidad de 54km/hrs, en 10 segundos al partir de reposo ¿Cuál fue su aceleración?
Alborosie

Answer: 1.5\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

velocidad v=54\ km/h

tiempo tomado t=10\ s

Convertir km/h en m/s

\Rightarrow 54\ km/h\equiv 15\ m/s

La aceleración está dada por la tasa de cambio de velocidad

\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{15}{10}\\\\\Rightarrow a=1.5\ m/s^2

Por tanto, la aceleración es 1.5\ m/s^2

How does a recessive allele “show up” to be seen?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Recessive alleles only show their effect if the individual has two copies of the allele.  

Explanation:

Dominant and Recessive Alleles If your allele pair is FF or Ff, you will have freckles. The only way you can escape a freckled face is to inherit the recessive gene from each parent, giving you the ff allele pair. In general, recessive alleles show up in your phenotype only if you have two of them.
