Once the genes are copied, where do they go?

Anna [14]

By copying their genomes, they retain the tool kit and at the same time generate a garage full of spare parts. Gene duplication can provide the raw material for expression changes to occur, and polyploidy itself can trigger epigenetic changes

An alpha particle (Î±), which is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, is momentarily at rest in a region of space occupied by an elec

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Speed = 575 m/s

Mechanical energy is conserved in electrostatic, magnetic and gravitational forces.

Explanation:

Given :

Potential difference, U = $-3.45 \times 10^{-3} \ V$

Mass of the alpha particle, $m_{\alpha} = 6.68 \times 10^{-27} \ kg$

Charge of the alpha particle is, $q_{\alpha} = 3.20 \times 10^{-19} \ C$

So the potential difference for the alpha particle when it is accelerated through the potential difference is

$U=\Delta Vq_{\alpha}$

And the kinetic energy gained by the alpha particle is

$K.E. =\frac{1}{2}m_{\alpha}v_{\alpha}^2$

From the law of conservation of energy, we get

$K.E. = U$

$\frac{1}{2}m_{\alpha}v_{\alpha}^2 = \Delta V q_{\alpha}$

$v_{\alpha} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \Delta V q_{\alpha}}{m_{\alpha}}}$

$v_{\alpha} = \sqrt{\frac{2(3.45 \times 10^{-3 })(3.2 \times 10^{-19})}{6.68 \times 10^{-27}}}$

$v_{\alpha} \approx 575 \ m/s$

The mechanical energy is conserved in the presence of the following conservative forces :

-- electrostatic forces

-- magnetic forces

-- gravitational forces

A uniformly charged rod (length = 2.0 m, charge per unit length = 3.0 nc/m) is bent to form a semicircle. What is the magnitude

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

84.82N/C.

Explanation:

The x-components of the electric field cancel; therefore, we only care about the y-components.

The y-component of the differential electric field at the center is

$dE = \frac{kdQ }{R^2} sin(\theta )$ .

Now, let us call $\lambda$ the charge per unit length, then we know that

$dQ = \lambda Rd\theta$ ;

therefore,

$dE = \frac{k \lambda R d\theta }{R^2} sin(\theta )$

$dE = \frac{k \lambda d\theta }{R} sin(\theta )$

Integrating

$E = \frac{k \lambda }{R}\int_0^\pi sin(\theta )d\theta$

$E = \frac{k \lambda }{R}*[-cos(\pi )+cos(0) ]$

$E = \frac{2k \lambda }{R}.$

Now, we know that

$\lambda = 3.0*10^{-9}C/m,$

$k = 9*10^9kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4}\cdot A^{-2},$

and the radius of the semicircle is

$\pi R = 2.0m,\\\\R = \dfrac{2.0m}{\pi };$

therefore,

$E = \frac{2(9*10^9) (3.0*10^{-9}) }{\dfrac{2.0}{\pi } }.$

$\boxed{E = 84.82N/C.}$

This outlaw is executed by hanging "in the spring of '25" by

irina [24]

The outlaw that was executed by hanging "in the spring of '25" is identified as the HIGHWAYMAN.

This is one of the characters in the song, "American Remains", sang by The Highwaymen. The group consisted of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. Other characters in the song were a sailor, a dam builder, and a pilot of a starship.

This is the first stanza of the song:

"I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side 
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade 
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade 
The b*stards hung me in the spring of twenty-five 
But I am still alive."

Atoms of elements at the top of a group on the periodic table are smaller than the atoms of elements at the bottom of the group.

serg [7]

Well formation of metallic bond depends on free electrons.smaal sized atoms hold their electrons more firmly as compared to large size atoms ,this z due to distance of outer shell electrons by nucleus..in this way no of free electrons affect strength of metallic bond..smaal sized atoms release less free electrons..
