Is there a difference in speed between a car going forwards at 5m/s and a car moving backwards at 5m/s

There is NOT a difference in speed between a car going forwards at 5 m/s and a car moving backwards at 5 m/s.

Speed is just the rate of change of the position of an object. It is calculated by dividing the change in position (distance traveled) by the time it takes to move said distance.

The distance between the two points is always positive because the direction does not matter.

However, if we are looking for the velocity, the direction DOES matter. In this example, the velocity moving forwards is 5 m/s while the velocity moving backwards is -5 m/s.

In other words:

<em>Speed </em>is looking at the <em>magnitude</em>

<em>Velocity </em>is looking at the <em>magnitude </em><em>and </em><em>direction.</em>

Why did the invention of pcr make dna fingerprinting possible
Svetlanka [38]
Answer:

With the invention of the PCR technique , DNA profiling took huge strides forward in both discriminating power and the ability to recover information from very small or degraded starting samples.

The process of PCR mimics the biological process of DNA replication but confines it to specific DNA sequences of interest.

In PCR process , the DNA sample is denatured into separate individual polynucleotide strands through heating. Two oligonucleotide DNA primers are used to hybridise to two corresponding nearby sites on opposite DNA strands. Thus two new copies of the sequences of interest are generated.

Repeated denaturation , hybridisation and extension in this fashion produce an exponentially growing number of copies of the DNA of interest.

Quantitative PCR methods enable automated , precise and high - throughput measurements.
