Answer:

The correct answer is 5.7

Explanation:

1) Physical principle: conservation of momentum.

If there is not net external force acting on a systmen, then the total momentum of the system is conserved.The momentum, p, is a vectorial magnitude defined as the product of the mass by the velocity: p = mv.

2) In consequence, considering that there is no net force on the system, Sheila and the bike’s momentum before and after the collision is the same.

So, now do the calculations:

Momentum before the collision:

        p₁ = (mass of Sheila + mass of the bike)×velocity

        p₁ = (60kg + m) × v₁ = 340 kg • m/s

Momentum after collision:

       p₂ = mass of sheila × velocity of Sheila + mass of the bike × velocity of the bike

       p₂ = 60kg × v₂ + m×0 = 60kg × v₂

       p₁ = p₂ ⇒ (60kg + m) × v₁ = 60kg × v₂ ⇒ 340 kg • m/s = 60kg × v₂

       ⇒ v₂ = 340 kg • m/s / 60 kg ≈ 5.7 m/s ← answer

Final reflection: since the momentum is conserved and the bike stops completely after the collision, Sheila wil keep the total momentum, and you can calculate her velocity dividing the total momentum by her mass:  v = 340 kg • m/s / 60 kg ≈ 5.7 m/s

Answer:  1.8 m/s✔️

Explanation:

She had no force on the system which means that Sheila's bike was thrown down 1.8 m/s ✔️

Meiosis consists of ______round(s) of dna replication accompanied by _____ rounds of cell division.
Licemer1 [7]
<span>Meiosis consists of one round of DNA replication accompanied by two rounds of cell division.
Before meiosis starts, the cell </span><span>goes through an interphase period in which it grows, replicates its chromosomes to have enough material to divide for the daughter cells.
Unlike mitosis, meiosis has 2 cell division (meiosis I and II). At the end of the first division, </span><span>each cell has half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. At the end of the second division</span> there is separation of the sister chromatids

Is race a biological characteristic determined by our genes?
Harman [31]

Answer:

No, they are not. The concept of human races appears to be solidly grounded in present-day biology and our evolutionary history. But if you asked that conference of geneticists to give you a genetic definition of race, they wouldn’t be able to do it. Human races are not natural genetic groups; they are socially constructed categories. Genes certainly reflect geography, but unlike geography, human genetic differences don't fall along obvious natural boundaries that might define races.

What factors limited human population growth in the past?
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Limiting factors include a low food supply and lack of space. Limiting factors can lower birth rates, increase death rates, or lead to emigration. When organisms face limiting factors, they show logistic growth (S-shaped curve, curve B: Figure below).
