Where on the Earth would you have to be to see the North Celestial Pole exactly halfway between your horizon and zenith?

Answer:

The point straight overhead on the celestial sphere for any observer is called the zenith and is always 90 degrees from the horizon. The arc that goes through the north point on the horizon, zenith, and south point on the horizon is called the meridian.

From any location on Earth you see only half of the celestial sphere, the half above the horizon.

If you stood at the North Pole of Earth, for example, you would see the north celestial pole overhead, at your zenith. The celestial equator, 90° from the celestial poles, would lie along your horizon.

A friend asks you how much pressure is in your car tires. You know that the tire manufacturer recommends 30 psi, but it's been a
Rama09 [41]

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

Which statements describe using genetic factors to influence the growth of organisms? Select the three (3) that apply.
Damm [24]

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.
