Answer:
Removing some of the books reduced the mass of the box, and less force was needed to push it across the floor.
Volume doesn't depend on what the substance is, only on how much of it there is.
Answer:
21 psi
Explanation:
The weight of the car is:
W = mg
W = 1000 kg * 9.8 m/s²
W = 9800 N
Divided by 4 tires, each tire supports:
F = W/4
F = 9800 N / 4
F = 2450 N
Pressure is force divided by area, so:
P = F / A
P = (2450 N) / (0.13 m × 0.13 m)
P ≈ 145,000 Pa
101,325 Pa is the same as 14.7 psi, so:
P ≈ 145,000 Pa × (14.7 psi / 101,325 Pa)
P ≈ 21 psi
Answer:
- increasing use of hybrid crops
- altering genes in DNA to create new plants
- developing disease or pest resistant crops
Explanation:
The use of genetic factors to influence the growth of a plant encompasses manipulating the genetic constituent (gene) of such plant.
For example,
- Increasing use of hybrid crops entails mating two pure bred plants based on a gene of interest responsible for a particular trait, to form a hybrid.
- Altering genes in DNA to create new plants is also a genetic factor as it has to with gene modification.
- developing disease or pest resistant crops means that the genetic make up of such plant has been modified to be resistant to pest/disease.
