Answer:

The potential difference between the student and the tap causes electrons to transfer to the tap which is earthed.

Hope this helps my sis and others

Answer:

An electric shock occurs when a person comes into contact with an electrical energy source. Electrical energy flows through a portion of the body causing a shock. If you scuff your feet on your living room rug, you pick up extra electrons and have a negative charge. Electrons move more easily through certain materials like metal, which scientists call conductors. The shock he received was a result of the quick movement of these electrons.

Does it take more force to slow something down than to speed it up.
ANTONII [103]
To bring something to a stop the same force that was applied to speed it up can be used to stop it. If a greater force is used it will stop quicker.

The process by which the gene in the nucleotide suddenly changes its position is called.
Ksenya-84 [330]

Mutation is the process by which the gene in the nucleotide suddenly changes its position

Any change in the structure of a gen or in the usual DNA sequence of a cell is called mutation. It can be caused by mistakes during cell division when the DNA is copied or by the exposure to DNA damaging agents in the environment like UV light or cigarette smoke, and may be transmitted to subsequent generations.

A mutation is a permanent alteration of the nucleotide sequence of an organism, virus or other genetic elements.

There are three types of mutations:

  • Base substitutions
  • Deletions
  • Insertions

<h3>What is DNA?</h3>

The Deoxyribonucleic acid, also called DNA, is the hereditary material that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of humans and almost all other organisms. DNA is made of nucleotides.

WILL NAME THE BRAINLIEST! An airplane undergoes the following displacements: It first flies 72 km in a direction of 30° East of
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

82.1 km

Explanation:

We need to resolve each displacement along two perpendicular directions: the east-west direction (let's label it with x) and the north-south direction (y). Resolving each vector:

A_x = (72) sin 30^{\circ} =36.0 km\\A_y = (72) cos 30^{\circ} = 62.4 km

Vector B is 48 km south, so:

B_x = 0\\B_y = -48

Finally, vector C:

C_x = -(100) cos 30^{\circ} =-86.6 km\\C_y = (100) sin 30^{\circ} = 50.0 km

Now we add the components along each direction:

R_x = A_x + B_x + C_x = 36.0 + 0 +(-86.6)=-50.6 km\\R_y = A_y+B_y+C_y = 62.4+(-48)+50.0=64.6 km

So, the resultant (which is the distance in a straight line between the starting point and the final point of the motion) is

R=\sqrt{R_x^2+R_y^2}=\sqrt{(-50.6)^2+(64.6)^2}=82.1 km

Light bending at a boundary is caused by differences in the speed of light in different materials. The greater the difference in
olasank [31]

Answer:

How much does light bend? When light travels from air into water, it slows down, causing it to change direction slightly. This change of direction is called refraction. When light enters a more dense substance (higher refractive index), it 'bends' more towards the normal line.
