What is a word that means have adapted to antibiotics?

Physics

zzz [600]3 years ago

If you are referring to bacteria, the word "resistant" is applicable, as bacteria adapt to antibiotics by undergoing natural selection to enhance antibiotic-resistant genes.
If you are referring to humans or higher-order species, "grown tolerant" could be used to say that perhaps a certain antibiotic dosage is no longer as effective as it used to be and that a higher dosage is needed. "Acclimated" can also be used to say that an organism's body had to adjust to the exposure to a new, unfamiliar antibiotic.

In a particular case of an object in front of a spherical mirror with a focal length of +12.0 cm, the magnification is +4.00.(a)
salantis [7]

Answer:

9 cm

-36 cm

Explanation:

u = Object distance

v = Image distance

f = Focal length = 12

m = Magnification = 4

m=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow 4=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow v=-4u

Lens equation

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{12}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{-4u}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{12}=\frac{3}{4u}\\\Rightarrow u=9\ cm

Object distance is 9 cm

v=-4\times 9=-36\ cm

Image distance is -36 cm (other side of object)

Suzanne notices that when sunlight strikes the surface of a calm lake, it creates a glare. Which statement accurately describes
kumpel [21]
<span>The answer is C. This is called polarization of light by reflection. The sunlight is reflected at a parallel angle from on the surface plane of the water from which it bounces from. The glare is due to this polarization of sun beams at an angle with respect to the viewer. </span>

What is the difference between amplitude and wavelength?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Letter b is wavelength. Letter a is amplitude.

Explanation:

Let's imagine a simple experiment. Imagine you have a long thick rope which one end is at your hands, and you start an oscillatory motion in it, moving your hand up and down. Then a friend of you take a picture of the rope in motion, looking at the rope laterally. Now let's find the wavelength and amplitude. Amplitude is "The distance from the center of the oscillation of the rope (when the rope was not in motion) to its high or low point", or the vertical displacement, in our experiment. On the other hand, wavelength is "The distance between one high point /low point and the next high point /low point". Take a look at a photo of a wave in your textbook and you will find the answer as well. ; )

A parallel-plate capacitor has a voltage of 391 v applied across its plates, then the voltage source is removed. what is the vol
andrezito [222]

When the capacitor is connected to the voltage, a charge Q is stored on its plates. Calling C_0 the capacitance of the capacitor in air, the charge Q, the capacitance C_0 and the voltage (V_0=391 V) are related by

C_0 =\frac{Q}{V_0} (1)


when the source is disconnected the charge Q remains on the capacitor.


When the space between the plates is filled with mica, the capacitance of the capacitor increases by a factor 5.4 (the permittivity of the mica compared to that of the air):

C=k C_0 = 5.4 C_0

this is the new capacitance. Since the charge Q on the plates remains the same, by using eq. (1) we can find the new voltage across the capacitor:

V=\frac{Q}{C}=\frac{Q}{5.4 C_0}

And since Q=C_0 V_0, substituting into the previous equation, we find:

V=\frac{C_0 V_0}{5.4 C_0}=\frac{V_0}{5.4}=\frac{391 V}{5.4}=72.4 V
