Is the muzzle velocity a scalar or vector quantity? Please explain your decision.

Biology
1 answer:
Marianna [84]3 years ago
3 0
Muzzle velocity is a vector quantity which means it has direction and magnitude. Generally speaking, any velocity is classified as a vector quantity, a value with direction and magnitude. Velocity is the rate of change of the location of the object moving and is specified by its direction and speed. Since muzzle velocity is a velocity then it would surely be a vector quantity. Muzzle velocity is the speed of a bullet as it is leaving a muzzle of a gun in a the direction where the gun is pointed. It would have a value ranging from about 120 m/s to 370 m/s in muskets to 1200 m/s for modern rifles.

What happens in the process of transcription
dolphi86 [110]
During the process of transcription, a portion of a DNA molecule is used to create a mRNA Molecule. DNA stores genetic information in the nucleus of your cells. When RNA molecules are produced it happens inside the nucleus. The RNA molecule can then leave the nucleus and travel to ribosomes which are located in the cytoplasm and attached to endoplasmic reticulum. The RNA will be used to create proteins molecules.

Which of the following is not a true statement comparing exoskeletons and endoskeletons?
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Exoskeletons provide less mechanical leverage.

Explanation:

There are two types of skeleton in living beings: the endoskeleton (which vertebrates possess, is lined with epithelial tissue and has bones and cartilage) and the exoskeleton, a skeletal structure that is located outside the body of the living being. , is an external skeleton. They are common in invertebrate animals, which have no internal bone structure.

The exoskeleton is a tough but flexible outer layer, not formed by bones, unlike the vertebrate endoskeleton. Its function is mechanical, chemical and biological protection, avoid excessive water loss, muscle support and serves as a connecting point for legs, wings and other appendages. However, this type of skeleton provides less mechanical leverage.

On the other hand, the endoskeleton is the name given to the internal skeleton, which is inside the body. This body structure is mainly seen in vertebrate animals and has the function of supporting and moving the body, as well as protecting some internal organs. Unlike exoskeleton, the endoskeleton provides more mechanical leverage.

True or false? in host-versus-graft rejection, the recipient recognizes the donor tissue as foreign and rejects the transplant;
snow_tiger [21]
The statements above are true;
In a host-versus-graft rejection the recipient's immune system recognizes the donor's tissue as foreign and rejects the transplant. On the other hand, in a graft-versus-host rejection, the donor tissue recognizes the recipient's tissue as foreign and the transplant rejects the recipient, causing destruction of the recipient's tissue and possibly death. Its important also to note that there are two types of rejection, the acute rejection, where the rejection of transplanted tissue that occurs several weeks after transplant. it is delayed hypersensitivity reaction, and the chronic rejection is a rejection of transplanted tissue that can occur at a late time. Immune complexes form in the arteries supplying the graft, choking off the blood supply and the tissue is rejected.
