What is a word that means have adapted to antibiotics?

1 answer:

8 0

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.

Your spaceship lands on an unknown planet. To determine the characteristics of this planet, you drop a wrench from 3.00 m above

statuscvo [17]

Answer: The gravitational acceleration near the surface of this planet is 9.056 m/s^2

Explanation:

When you drop an object, the only acceleration acting on the object is the gravitational acceleration, so we can writhe the acceleration of the wrench as

a(t) = -g

where the minus sign is because the wrench will move downwards.

for the velocity of the object, we integrate over time and get:

v(t) = -g*t + v0

where v0 is the initial velocity, in this case is 0, because the wrench is droped.

integrating again, we will get the position of the wrench:

p(t) = -(g/2)*t^2 + p0

where p0 is the initial position, in this case is 3m above the ground.

p(t) = -(g/2)*t^2 + 3m

now, afther 0.814seconds the wrench hits the ground, so we have:

p(0.814 s) = 0 = -(g/2)*(0.814s)^2 + 3m

now we need to solve this for g.

-(g/2)*(0.814s)^2 + 3m = 0

(g/2)*(0.814s)^2 = 3m

(g/2) = 3m/*(0.814s)^2 = 4.528m/s^2

g = 2*4.528m/s^2 = 9.056 m/s^2

Ryan applied a force of 10N and moved a book 30 cm in the direction of the force. How much was the workdone by Ryan?

Xelga [282]

<h2><u>Question</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

Ryan applied a force of 10N and moved a book 30 cm in the direction of the force. How much was the work done by Ryan?

<h2><u>Answer:</u><u>-</u></h2>

<h3>Given,</h3>

=> Force applied by Ryan = 10N

=> Distance covered by the book after applying force = 30 cm

30 cm = 0.3 m (distance)

=> Work done = Force × Distance

=> 10 × 0.3

=> 3 Joules

$\small \boxed{work \: done \: by \: Ryan \: = 3 \: Joules}$

Which statement is accurate about how the aurora borealis is formed?

g100num [7]

Answer:

When the electrons jump to a higher energy state, they release energy as electromagnetic radiation, light.

Explanation:

When the solar wind gets past the magnetic field and travels towards the Earth, it runs into the atmosphere. As the protons and electrons from the solar wind hit the particles in the Earth's atmosphere, they release energy – and this is what causes the northern lights.
