Answer: B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.

Explanation:

Weight is a force, and as we know by the second Newton's law:

F = m*a

Force equals mass times acceleration.

Then if the weight is:

Wx, and the mass is m, we have the equation:

Wx = m*a

Where in this case, a is the gravitational field strength.

Then, isolating a in that equation we get:

Wx/m = a

Then the correct option is:

B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.

What mRNA sequence would result from the following DNA sequence?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

UAC CUG AGG AUC

Explanation:

<em>The mRNA sequence from ATG GAC TCC TAG DNA sequence would be </em><em>UAC CUG AGG AUC.</em>

<u>According to Chargaff's base pairing rule, the purine bases always pair with pyrimidine bases. Specifically, Adenine base must pair with Thymine base while Guanine base must pair with Cytosine base. In RNA, Thymine base is replaced with Uracil base.</u>

Hence:

ATG   GAC   TCC   TAG will pair with

UAC   CUG   AGG   AUC

A shot-putter accelerates a 7.2 kg shot from rest to 17 m/s . what work did the shot-putter do on the ball?
garri49 [273]
<span>1.0x10^3 Joules The kinetic energy a body has is expressed as the equation E = 0.5 M V^2 where E = Energy M = Mass V = Velocity Since the shot was at rest, the initial energy is 0. Let's calculate the energy that the shot has while in motion E = 0.5 * 7.2 kg * (17 m/s)^2 E = 3.6 kg * 289 m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 kg*m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 J So the work performed on the shot was 1040.4 Joules. Rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives 1.0x10^3 Joules</span>
