Biologists use ball-and-stick models to study complex molecules by representing atoms with balls and bonds with sticks. DNA is a

biological molecule that contains millions of atoms. What is a limitation of using a ball-and-stick model for DNA

One of the major limitations of using the ball and stick model for DNA, is that within a single double stranded segment of DNA, one would have to use many many balls to represent atoms that are present in the sugar phosphate backbone, along with all of the main atoms that compose the nitrogenous bases of DNA, we also cannot construct or show the helical form of DNA, by using balls and sticks as well.

Which coordinate system would be most useful for two observers (one in Michigan and one in Florida) who wants to observe the sam
Mkey [24]

Answer : Celestial or azimuth - altitude

Explanation :  

Celestial : The celestial coordinates that are analogous to longitude and latitude are called RA and Dec.

RA = Right Ascension

Dec = Declination

RA is the measured in unit of time and Dec is measured in degree.

The equatorial coordinate system is the projection of the latitude and longitude coordinate system on the celestial sphere.

Azimuth - altitude :  Azimuth - altitude define the location of an object in the sky.

The altitude is the distance of an object appears to be above the horizon.

The Azimuth of the object is the angular distance  along the horizon to the location of the object.

• How much work is<br>required to lift a 2kg<br>object 2m high?<br>​
pychu [463]

Answer You need to consider that the gravity on earth is 9.8 m/s/s. This means any object you let go on the earths surface will gain 9.8 m/s of speed every second. You need to apply a force on the object in the opposite direction to avoid this acceleration. If you are pushing something up at a constant speed, you are just resisting earths acceleration. The more massive and object is, the greater force is needed to accelerate it. The equation is Force = mass*acceleration. So for a 2kg object in a 9.8 m/s/s gravity you need 2kg*9.8m/s/s = 19.6 Newtons to counteract gravity. Work or energy = force * distance. So to push with 19.6 N over a distance of 2 meters = 19.6 N*2 m = 39.2 Joules of energy. There is an equation that puts together those two equations I just used and it is E = mgh

The amount of Energy to lift an object is (mass) * (acceleration due to gravity) * (height)

:Hence, the Work done to life the mass of 2 kg to a height of 10 m is 196 J. Hope it helps❤️❤️❤️

A ‘thermal tap’ used in a certain apparatus consists of a silica rod which
abruzzese [7]

Correct question is;

A thermal tap used in a certain apparatus consists of a silica rod which fits tightly inside an aluminium tube whose internal diameter is 8mm at 0°C.When the temperature is raised ,the fits is no longer exact. Calculate what change in temperature is necessary to produce a channel whose cross-sectional is equal to that of the tube of 1mm. (linear expansivity of silica = 8 × 10^(-6) /K and linear expansivity of aluminium = 26 × 10^(-6) /K).

Answer:

ΔT = 268.67K

Explanation:

We are given;

d1 = 8mm

d2 = 1mm

At standard temperature and pressure conditions, the temperature is 273K.

Thus; Initial temperature; T1 = 273K,

Using the combined gas law, we have;

P1×V1/T1 = P2×V2/T2

The pressure is constant and so P1 = P2. They will cancel out in the combined gas law to give:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Now, volume of the tube is given by the formula;V = Area × height = Ah

Thus;

V1 = (πd1²/4)h

V2 = (π(d2)²/4)h

Thus;

(πd1²/4)h/T1 = (π(d2)²/4)h/T2

π, h and 4 will cancel out to give;

d1²/T1 = (d2)²/T2

T2 = ((d2)² × T1)/d1²

T2 = (1² × T1)/8²

T2 = 273/64

T2 = 4.23K

Therefore, Change in temperature is; ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT = 273 - 4.23

ΔT = 268.67K

Thus, the temperature decreased to 268.67K
