8 0

Answer:

The tube should be held vertically, perpendicular to the ground.

Explanation:

As the power lines  of ground are equal, so its electrical field is perpendicular to the ground and the equipotential surface is cylindrical. Therefore, if we put the position fluorescent tube parallel to the ground so the both ends of the tube lie on the same equipotential surface and the difference is zero when its  potential.

And the ends of the tube must be on separate equipotential surfaces to optimize potential. The surface near the power line has a greater potential value and the surface farther from the line has a lower potential value, so the tube must be placed perpendicular to the floor to maximize the potential difference.

Match the geologic time period with its corresponding event.
Mandarinka [93]

The dinosaurs first appeared in the Mesozoic and the first mass extinction occurred during the Paleozoic. Moreover, humans first appeared in the Cenozoic.

<h3>The geological eras and biological events</h3>

The dinosaurs emerged during the Triassic Period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 220-225 million years ago.

The first mass extinction occurred in the Ordovician Period (the second period of the Paleozoic Era).

The Cenozoic is the current geological Era that encompasses the last 60 million years.

How could pig xenotransplantation affect humans?
Korolek [52]

It could cause them to catch animal disease

Explanation:

Xenotransplantation refers to the transplantation of organs or tissues between different species. E.g. Chimpanzee organ (liver) being transplanted into a human body would come under the category of xenotransplantation.

Pigs have come up as prospective organ donors since their organs and tissues are more or less to that of human’s. However, there are issues such as-

  1. Xenotransplantation of pig’s tissue into a human would allow easier passage for all types of zoonotic viruses.
  2. Moreover, if transgenic pigs are used instead of natural pigs it can lead to virus mutation as per the human body demands thus leading to increased susceptibility to human infection.

Thus,  engrafting of pig’s tissue in the human body poses a significant risk for humans of catching a zoonotic (animal) disease.

The root-mean-square speed (thermal speed) of the molecules of a gas is 200m/s at 23.0°C. At 227°C the root-mean-square speed (t
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

330 m/s  approx

Explanation:

The RMS speed of a gas is proportional to square root of its absolute temperature is

V ( RMS ) ∝ √T

\frac{V_1}{V_2} =\sqrt{\frac{T_1}{T_2} }

Here V₁ = 200 , T₁ = 23 +273 = 300K , T₂ = 227 +273 = 500 K

Putting the values

200 / V₂ = \sqrt{\frac{300}{500} }

V₂ = 330 m/s  approx
